"Vacation Rentals" and AirBnB

I'm interested in the Amex GREEN card, because it offers 3X points on "Vacation Rentals", as well as "Rideshares". Now, my big question is: is AirBnB considered a "vacation rental"? I am abroad most of the year, and AirBnb is my preferred lodging provider. Typically a third of my expenses when in South America (which is usually where I am, when not in the US.) I also use Uber as my preferred method of transport over cabs (because the "Uberistas" can be counted on to make your trip as short, as possible).
Can anyone confirm how AirBnb, specifically, is classified?
Otherwise, does anyone suggest different cards, (AMEX, Visa or MC) for these two favorite categories? Oh, and I eat at restaurants a lot, too (though Amex is not widely accepted in South America, and not at the places I inevitably eat at.) I'm not adverse to a modest AF, and cashback works as well as point. Thanks, for your input.
