Earn Substantial American Airlines Miles With Rocketmiles Hotel Booking

American Airlines recently announced a partnership with Rocketmiles which is a hotel booking site similar to other more familiar sites such as Orbitz and Travelocity.  What separates Rocketmiles from their competition is that they award you significant airline miles just for booking through their website or phone based app.  After booking your hotel you will receive between 1,000-10,000 airline miles PER night!  As an added bonus, if you signup and book your first stay by 3/31/2016, American Airlines will credit you an additional 3,000 miles on top of what you earned for your booking.  To get started click the link below:

Let's run through a quick example to see how easy it is to quickly accumulate American Airlines miles by using Rocketmiles.

Using the above example, if you stayed one night at the Best Western Greenfield Inn in Allen Park, you would earn 6,000 AAdvantage miles for the hotel stay plus an additional 3,000 miles as part of the promotion currently being offered!  That's a total of 9,000 miles which will put you well on your way to earning a free flight to a dream destination!

Earn Miles For a Free Flight To Hawaii!

Now that you have followed my easy steps to getting setup to start earning points/miles, let's get started with your first free flight!

It's important to remember that becoming a vacation hacker is a marathon, not a sprint, so it does take time and consistent effort to sustain an ample supply of miles that will allow you to travel to destinations all over the world.  However, on this blog post I will walk you through a scenario where you can quickly earn a flight from Detroit to Honolulu, Hawaii.  The American Airlines flight used in this example will be for travel in October 2016.  A screenshot of the flight is below:

Flight departs Detroit 10/27/2016 and returns 11/3/2016.

As you can see, it will take 35,000 American Airlines miles to earn your flight.  See below for a quick way to earn the necessary miles to redeem your flight.
