App being discontinued
Best booking app for airline points
I just saw that the app will be discontinued in September 2025 and I am very disappointed about that.
It’s alright
No account access
Very good - particularly when expensing
Error and price changes in a second
Scammy?
Never sent me Amazon giftcards
Booked first trip
The app is extremely buggy. Failed log in. Failed connections and searches. Needs to be updated and fixed. Use the website
Very frustrated
Seconds after my search. Then, when I refresh my search, the rate that supposedly wasn’t available anymore is still
Shown. Feels like a boat-and-switch.
Good
ok, not great
Fabulous program for travelers
Overall, a good hotel booking site
Several improvements are needed though. 1) There’s no way to leave a review of the hotel! You can READ the booking.com reviews but can’t leave a review on Rocketmiles or on booking.com!
2) USUALLY, the Rocketmiles fees are OKAY, (usually c$10) but sometimes the fees can be more than 15%, and, in one case, more than 50%! Advertising the ACTUAL price rather than adding the Rocketmiles fees later would be an improvement!
3) Too often the app logs me out and I have to log back in!
4) The room description is often woefully inadequate! Most descriptions of the hotel’s talk of “select rooms having air conditioning”. Why not copy the description from the hotel website?!
5) Charges for parking and resort fees are not specified, which can have a major impact on price; I had a hotel that charged $50 per night for parking! I know that prices change but that COULD be made clear.
Terrible
Unable to Make Reservation
You will have to fight with them to get your miles
Steer Clear!!!
I write this after using the app multiple times. The first few bookings went great, after that, it was all down hill.
I have had to fight with them for being double charged, the Rocketmiles side, when checking into the hotels, have been declined and I have had to purchase the hotel separately, which also took hours to deal with, and customer service, although they are very nice for the most part, the majority of the operators are unwilling to help. Getting help usually takes several phone calls to get to a person who cares.
Exercise caution
Earning rewards for travel is nice, but consumers should exercise caution when using this app. It is glitchy. Even their customer support says so.
Unreliable bookings and horrible customer service
"We reached out to our hotel providers but we were unable to confirm your booking. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Even though I never received a hotel booking they still charged my card. When I called customer service they confirmed the problem and promised to refund the false charge minus the value of the points.
I received an email two weeks later that the hotel would not process the refund.
After several weeks fighting with them and a dozen calls I received most of my money back.
I will never book with them again, it's not worth it.
