No. Thrid party sites are NOT eligible for points or stay creditand are explicitly excluded in the T&C.
That said, some ppl report getting a few points here and there. This should NOT be the expectation.
Blind bidding (priceline, hotwire, etc) are NOT entitled to any benefits and are explicitly excluded inthe T&C. That said, some ppl do reports getting benefits. Again, you should not expect (or demand) them as you are NOT entitled to them.
The other third party sites (non-blind) are not explicitly excluded from benenfits (only points/stay credit) not are they explicitly included. It is up to the hotel's discretion whether or not to give them to you.
