Starwood Preferred Guest - new points for Expedia booking?

I booked a Sheraton through Expedia using the Starwood Amex card while staying in San Francisco. The front desk manager told me it does not earn any points since it is booked through a third party at a discounted rate. Is this true?

It's True.

There's a bunch of info in the FAQ that's stickied at the top of the Starwood Board.
