Incompetant and Useless I have never used AA miles for a hotel before today. I have plenty of miles in my account to cover said hotel booking. Can not check out due to reasons unknown i either get an error message or it just takes me back to the checkout page. Rocketmiles Customer service is ZERO help with a scripted response on repeat to book my hotel directly with hotel or use another platform. WHY would i do that when i have enough hard earned miles to redeem finally!? AA tried to help but has no authority to book hotel. Call rocketmiles back ask for supervisor who gives same scripted response but now says 72 hours for reply but i need this hotel tomorrow. Unbelievable that AA uses this incompetant service to handle hotel bookings. Never again. The equivalent of a vending machine eating your money. Update - YES after customer service emailed me a vague request to validate my identity I complied and they sent back the exact same scripted email again requesting to validate my identity. I called customer service jumping through many hoops (including finding out after 2 hour long hold times finding out the "tech team" only works after 10AM chicago time) that they couldnt tell me specifically what information they needed to validate my identity and i should guess and send whatever i feel is proof of identity. Only after having to send a photo of my license and printed statement of my AAdvantage account (all my GUESS to send since nothing specifically listed and customer service couldnt tell me what was needed) did my account get cleared. It is easier to login to actual bank accounts after fraud than this. My original review still stands but yes in the end it was resolved after hours of pulling my hair out.

Avoid using. They block you for no clear reason I cancelled a booking on aadvantagehotels.com just a day before the free cancellation deadline and booked another hotel on the same day as then the latter was offering higher miles. All I knew was that the next day I could no longer log into my account. Actually it doesn't give you any error message. You can "log in" but then you are brought back to the homepage as if you are not logged in. I had to contact the hotel directly to learn that my second reservation was also cancelled. I contacted the customer service and all I got was apparently a templated response saying "your account is currently forbidden to book through the website due to unusual activity... Please be advised that this matter is under investigation, and we currently do not have a specific timeframe for its resolution" I mean, "unusual activity"? If you don't want people to cancel and rebook for more miles, just don't offer the refundable options.

* * * High Price - few miles earned * * * Rocketmiles.com has substantially reduced the number of miles you can earn when buying an overpriced hotel room from them. It is no longer worth doing business with them. If you want AAdvantage (American Airline) points go to AAdvantagehotels.com

Double charged me I was making a booking in Rome and after I made second booking they double charged me. After I got the email with one more additional room. I have contacted the call center they said very rude that’s my mistake, I did extra booking by mistake and the rate is not refundable. First of all it’s very rude, second I’m not stupid that much to make another booking by mistake, as after you finish with one booking you need to fill all the details again for another reservation and give your payments details again. So i have lost almost 2000$ before traveling and huge huge disappointment in emirates skywards hotel that they are using this service.

Endless system failure I have been trying multiple times over the past couple months to make AAdvantage hotel reservations, but I always get "Sorry. We are unable to complete this transacton. Please contact us at support @ mail.aadvantagehotesl.com or call +1-773-270-2992". This is the message every time I try to book a stay on AAdvatage hotel program which is operated by RocketMiles. I have been trying to call this number, the agent told me they could not help but ask me to retry, and the agent was super rude and refuse to connect me to technical department. When I try to email this address, what I got is a cold response "please book with hotel direct, there was a system failure with no fix date." which is apparantly wrong as my freinds could book without any issue. Please do reach out to me to disucss a solution, I have been losing tens of thousands of miles and Rocketmiles is also losing revenue. Thank you.
