Flights/hotels booked via OTAs (Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline, etc) are not counted as airline/hotel categories and do not earn 3x points. If you want to get 3x point with OTA transactions, make sure that use an app which uses mobile payments.

I put close to 40K since I got the card in May, about 65% of them are mobile payment transactions, about 15% - hotels/airlines and the rest - non 3x transactions, including the payments to state taxes. So far all fine.
