The Wikipost of this thread shows that Barclays Arrival treated a viator.com purchase as eligible for reimbursement as travel. Post 68 tells you the name of the member who added that information to the Wiki, and s/he may be able to lookup the actual merchant classification which is what will determine how Citi treats it.
Thanks Mia. I will report what I learn on this thread.

Thanks Taliesin. I am waiting for my first TYP card and am still learning. I see that AA translates at 1.6 making the 30K worth $480 as you stated. I doubt that 45K HH points would yield me that value; maybe 1.5 nights in a room at $150 a night. So that would be only $225.
