Did you check some of the travel bidding websites?
www.biddingfortravel.com shows the Westin and/or Sheraton Sukhumvit going for ~ $90-ish USD recently.

When grabbing reservations in this way does it normally preclude earning any loyalty points/stays?

Usually, yes, but YMMV. With some chains you may get miles or points, with some only for extras.
Remember that with priceline - although it's probably not a problem in Asia - you are only guaranteed a room for 2 people.
