Amex FHR does not book through Expedia. The Chase Luxury Travel Collection is the one that books through Expedia and that is very hit or miss.
But yes, Privé offers a better value anyway since your room upgrade is confirmed at the time of booking and you get a welcome amenity, two benefits that don’t come with FHR.
