Rocketmiles is upping the bonuses they offer for first booking with American Airlines & US Airways to 5,000 miles.
You must make your first booking using the AA or US link below by April 15, 2015, and choose the associated airline miles (AA or US).
You can access the American Airlines offer here and the US Airlines one here.
Rocketmiles has been traditionally offering 3,000 bonus miles as a first booking bonus, but seems that they are now upping this to 5,000 miles (probably with other airlines as well).
Conclusion
You don’t usually find “discounted” prices on Rocketmiles, so buying hotels from them make sense if there is a good bonus mile offer round or someone else is reimbursing you for the price paid.
