Before I used travelport.net and about 1/4 of my stays would not show up because my HH number was not in the reservation, but filling out the form on hhonors.com would always get the points posted within a few days. Also, if I caught it at check-in, the front desk person would enter my number and then the credit would work fine.
I concur. I have to now use Egencia so I make sure that I am not on a rate that Egencia charges me the stay rather than the hotel directly. When the hotel charges directly then I do get my points
