That would depend. As far as the Asia Pacific properties are concerned, any reservation booked through a third-party site is ineligible. Elsewhere, if you book the RACK, COR, SET, or BAR rates through Travelocity or Expedia, then it may be eligible, but unless there is a place to enter your SPG number, you may have to go through some hoops to get stay/night credit or in-hotel benefits. If it is a pre-paid rate at any third-party web site, then it is just plain ineligible.

Hope that helps, but as Cheap Elite says, there are many threads in this forum where this has been covered ad nauseum.
