On "Redemption with Cash Upgrade" bookings, do you earn points on the cash portion?

I was looking for another thread that may reference this, so apologies if it has been answered before. But does the cash portion of a Redemption with Cash Upgrade earn points?

Thanks all

The OP isn't asking about C&P. He's asking about upgrading an award reservation.

When did this change? They never used to be. Should I be following up on prior stays in which I did not receive the points for the cash upgrade charges?

Hi, thank you.

As of when? Our stay at St Regis Maldives was booked with points first (garden villa) and then we paid $1,200+ USD plus to upgrade to OVW. Those $1.2K USD never counted as qualifying charges based on the hotel receipt.
