I would assume that all SPG benefits will apply to such reservations

These are going to be considered third-party bookings and they will not be SPG-eligible.

Will we be able to file BRG claims against TripAdvisor? The articles are saying that the booking will actually be completed by Starwood itself, so I just want to be clear about TripAdvisor's eligibility.
Thanks!
