KYLE OLSEN\/THE POINTS GUY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>First and foremost, since Rocketmiles is considered an online travel agency, don&#8217;t expect to earn hotel points on your reservation. If you have hotel elite status, this probably isn&#8217;t the way for you to book stays as it&#8217;s unlikely your benefits will be honored when booking this way.<\/p>\n<p>But think about hotels that don&#8217;t participate in major hotel loyalty programs (i.e., boutique or other independent hotels where you aren&#8217;t trading up hotel points). The beauty of Rocketmiles is that you can earn airline miles on reservations that normally accrue nothing. Also, you can earn credit card points in addition to American miles and Loyalty Points booking through Rocketmiles.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s do a side-by-side comparison of weeklong hotel stays.<\/p>\n<h3>Stay Hotel Waikiki<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"jsx-19345235 tpg-figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:0\" class=\"jsx-185092990 full-width-auto-height-image\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;padding-top:30.9375%\"\/><img alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%;background-size:cover;background-position:0% 0%;filter:blur(20px);background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAABCAIAAAB2XpiaAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAFklEQVQImWNgZxCYOWPR\/\/\/\/v33+BAAkOwfDxY9sWwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==&quot;)\"\/><noscript><img alt=\"\" sizes=\"100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/01\/Rocketmiles-Stay-Hotel-Waikiki.png?width=640 640w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/01\/Rocketmiles-Stay-Hotel-Waikiki.png?width=750 750w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/01\/Rocketmiles-Stay-Hotel-Waikiki.png?width=828 828w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/01\/Rocketmiles-Stay-Hotel-Waikiki.png?width=1080 1080w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/01\/Rocketmiles-Stay-Hotel-Waikiki.png?width=1200 1200w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/01\/Rocketmiles-Stay-Hotel-Waikiki.png?width=1920 1920w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/01\/Rocketmiles-Stay-Hotel-Waikiki.png?width=2048 2048w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/01\/Rocketmiles-Stay-Hotel-Waikiki.png?width=3840 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/01\/Rocketmiles-Stay-Hotel-Waikiki.png?width=3840\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/noscript><\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"jsx-19345235 figcaption\">Miles earned on one week-long stay.

On the other hand, buying miles on American&#8217;s website doesn&#8217;t earn Loyalty Points, making this $455 add-on at checkout even more of a deal.<\/p>\n<div
