I wonder what counts as a "eligible hotel merchant"

I was more wondering how far I can stretch "eligible hotel" lol but they don't define it that well other than that you have to pay "a hotel" directly

Probably because they want you to actually pay the actual hotel/motel. I'm sure there are merchant codes which they scan against that we aren't able to see.
They specifically excluded short-term rentals, so I have a feeling Airbnb is not eligible...
T&C says no third party booking…so if I were to book through AMEX travel (ie Fine hotel & resort program) I won’t be eligible? Would be sick to double dip on the $100USD on site credit + $50
