Booking at 3rd Party Sites?
I'm new here and just had a question about booking at other sites and earning points/mileage for the stays...
Can this be done?
If I book through Orbitz or Hotels.com can I get mileage/points for it? The reason I ask is because of the cashback that can be earned through various sites.

Expedia offers two different types of rates, one of those being the 'Expedia Special Rate'. If you book that special rate, the amount will be charged by Expedia (and you won't collect any points/miles).
The other rate type is either payable at the hotel or will be charged in advance by the hotel. This rate type qualifys for collecting points.
