I clicked back and saw other "activities" near the disneyland tickets and when I clicked "see more" it took me to another website (sister of orbitz?) called cheaptickets.com. Some of the tabs are travel activites like flights, hotels, cars, cruises, etc. but the last one was event tickets. I clicked on a upcoming baseball game I'd like to attend, but when I was prompted to make a log in for a new account there is a little tip that says "Your event tickets account is different than your cheap tickets travel account".

I'm wondering if anyone has used this site before and whether or not this codes as travel and can be redeemed with barclay points. If not, I'll take the plunge and buy the baseball game tickets anyway and see how it codes. Would obviously like to use points if it all possible...

TIA
Cheaptickets and orbitz are sister websites. They basically have the same functionality so I would suspect that they behave the same in coding.
