is it 2x for Priceline using CSP?

Thinking about booking a hotel with Priceline using my CSP MC. It states 2x for travel and restaurant. Will Priceline fall under this category?

I just hit my bookmark for bonus chart by a FT, I think HikerT, who does a great job of updating once a month. ...find here http://lakebagger.com/ur/

Priceline hotel booking through UR shopping portal has a 1x bonus (read t &cs), so you wll get 3x. Not sure if it works like Travelocity, which only gives bonus on room versus full price including taxes, etc. or not, so read the portal as you go through.

I believe metoo is asking if a Priceline purchase will qualify as a travel category transaction for the bonus point offered by Chase Sapphire Preferred. This is separate from, and in addition to, any points earned by using the Ultimate Rewards Mall.

I had travel points denied for it sometime last year - it was for a priceline car rental bid that coded as something like "contract services".

I'm about to book 4 or 5 rooms through priceline. Anyone have any idea if I'll get the travel category bonus?

I was given 1 point per dollar last month on a Priceline car rental; when I inquired, I got the standard reply that bonuses are awarded on Visa's categorization of merchants and that Priceline didn't code as travel.
