Customers earn ~7000 miles/booking for staying among a handful of premium hotels in each city. One stay can now earn a free flight. Hotel partners fill rooms that would have otherwise gone unused with coveted premium business travelers. rocketmiles.com facebook.com/rocketmiles twitter.com/rocketmiles
