The Apple Card is still a thing?
When is American Express or Chase taking over?

it's a crapshoot to book through these sites instead of directly with the hotel/car-rental.

hotels put booking-site reservations last, behind their regular customers.

means you get the room next to the central air conditioning, or on the floor just above where all the dead fish are piling up at the water's edge below, or with the janky door that doesn't quite close all the way.
FWIW, booking.com has been fine for me in the past. I was picking a basic place, however, not planning an extravagant honeymoon type of vacation.

but is 7% cashback really worth the hassle you might have at the property/car-rental lot when you get there?

BEST: 1. call the hotel and quote them the rate you found and see if they'll match it; you'll get a sense of what to expect for "customer service"
2. check the hotel's reviews before you book.

You also won't get points/credit if you're a member of the hotel chain's rewards program. That said, booking.com also has apartments, BnBs, etc...so the Apple Card deal might be of interest if someone planned to go that route.
