Booking.com aggregator ok to earn Starpoints ?
Third-party websites like hotels.com, expedia.com, priceline.com, etc actually take your money for the stay.
But booking.com is like an aggregator that just takes reservations, kinda like a middleman. Would booking through booking.com disqualify for earning Starpoints and other benefits?

Never mind sry, seems immaterial as it looks like Starwood's site price-matches and gives you a 20% discount - nice!
I suppose sites like booking.com are still useful in that you can check out the ratings and the reviews for the spg properties.
