Im in Egypt right now. Booked via travel agency, had my reservations circled to my Honors account (by contacting the hotels).
although neither points nor stay credits given (Diamond Desk told me that my bookings show “group booking”) I received upgrades from one or two steps and, where applicable, access to the EL.
This might be country and for sure property specific.
