Based on experience, booking through Amex FHR, Visa Signature Hotels, World Elite MasterCard Luxury Hotels, and members of several travel networks such as Virtuoso, Signature Travel Network, Ensemble Travel Group, allows points and status, while booking through OTA such as Expedia, etc. generally does not (of course there are exceptions).
