I don't think the answer is an easy "no". Maybe heavily discounted priceline stays won't give RA benefits, points, etc., but booking public available rates through a travel agent ("3rd party", that is for example, expedia, agoda, virtuoso, or even consolidators like TUI) should at least give RA benefits, if not even stay credit.
I would email the hotel in advance and enquire about this.
