Another airline partner program that I want to highlight is Rocketmiles, an online hotel search engine where you earn miles instead of hotel loyalty points. Rocketmiles offers different earning rates per hotel per night, so it’s a good idea to check online if you have a paid hotel stay planned as you could earn thousands of miles.
Generally, I don’t like to pay for my hotel stays, rather I redeem points for free nights. However, there are occasions when paying cash is worth the value of the points earned. For example, I linked my United Airlines account to Rocketmiles on my last paid reservation and earned 6,000 miles for a $100 one-night stay (1,000 miles/night + 5,000 sign-up bonus). Not bad for only one night.
