Sapphire Preferred gives 2x on travel/dining - you will certainly get those bonus points as well as hotel credits if you book directly with hotels.
It also gives 1 extra point for travel booked through UR. Hotels booked via UR are treated just as other 3rd party online travel agencies (expedia etc.)

Also, if I book my hotel nights through the regular hotel site and use my Sapphire points, do I still get the bonus points the site lists as long as I use the Sapphire card.
I love the card because it gives so many bonuses and doubles points on all travel, not just planes and hotels.
