Expedia booking is probably not ok to earn FFN credit - most agency type bookings (Expedia, Travelocity) do not earn a stay credit (and therefore FFN credit).

All stays at Hyatt (revenue, award, Pricline/Hotwire, any other method of booking) earns full status perks - but not necessarily stay credit / points.
