Will I earn points and stay credit if booking through AMEXtravel.com
Sorry if this has been asked before but I didn't find anything definitive.
With the $100 off $600 discount AMEX travel actually has better rates than hyatt.com, if I were to book it directly through amextravel.com (not FHR) will I be earning Hyatt stay credit and GP points? I am a active Diamond.

I just finished an Amex FHR stay at a Hyatt unbound property. My FHR offer was 3rd night free and I stayed 3 nights. I got Hyatt credit for 2 nights and Hyatt points. However, I only got awarded about 70% of the points that I expected so I need to have it sorted out.

I appreciate the data point. The 70% may be due to taxes...

A year or two ago, there was a glitch where Diamonds were shorted an amount of points equal to the breakfast charges which the hotel adjusted off. I wonder if that glitch has returned?
Example: Room rate $100, breakfast charges marked as comp = $25, you end up earning points on $75 instead of the full $100.
The above is just a guess as to why your points were less than expected.
