AMEX (USA) FHR Hotels not bookable online?
The AMEX FHR site is now asking me to call in on essentially all hotels when I try to check dates and book online through my account. Is this a kink in the system or did something change recently?

They are updating FHR bookings to qualify for 5x points. Some properties are bookable while others aren't yet.
5x points and FHR?

I talked to an Amex rep last night about this. Any hotel that is not participating in allowing Amex points and/or 5X for booking is not going to show up online. There is no timetable for when they'll show up, they're basically just in the process of negotiating with each hotel. It's such a pain to have to call and book. It took 10-12 minutes for what would have taken 2 minutes online.
