Both prepaid (5X) reservations automatically showed up in my upcoming bookings on my Marriott profile. Does the fact that it automatically showed up point to being able to "double dip" points? Maybe legacy SPG/Marriott makes a difference? The rate is listed in the reservations as "Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts Pay Now". If it's likely I can't double-dip, I will probably rebook as postpaid.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

FHR rates that are paid at the hotel definitely earn points. I've been too wary of booking a prepaid through FHR because the points I earn through Marriott as an Ambassador are fare more valuable than the 5X Amex points.
