There are some cards like Barclay's world arrival or blue amex that only reimburse you or enable you to use your points if you make qualified travel purchases.  Many times purchases from travel online sites do not qualify.  I thought it would be helpful if we can run down those travel online sites in which the cc get billed directly from the airline, hotel or car rental agency even though you make the reservation through the third party online site

1) Priceline

so for orbitz question remains is that a qualified travel purchase directly from airline?

Do all Priceline bookings post as the airline/hotel?

For instance if I make a Sheraton booking on Priceline with my SPG card will it get 2x?
