I normally book direct for hotels, but I need to use up an Expedia gift card. I know most loyalty programs don’t recognize status benefits or award points on third party bookings. Are there any that do though?

You could book for enough nights to use up the gift card. You could do a separate booking directly with the hotel for the remainder of your stay if it exceeds the gift card balance. I would just call or email that hotel and let them know that it’s you for both reservations and that you would like to have the same room.

I have some single night bookings coming up, but was hoping to get points through some program if it made sense.

You could use it at some property that doesn't belong to your regular loyalty chains.

Sell it for a discount

Not sure this makes sense as the discounts are usually quite steep. I can just use it up instead.
