How many miles can I earn?

Rocketmiles offers significant earning opportunities, with rewards ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 miles or points per hotel night, depending on the type of establishment, length of stay and loyalty program selected. For example:

  • A night in a budget hotel could earn you around 1,000 miles.
  • A stay in a luxury hotel can offer up to 10,000 miles per night.

These estimates vary according to specific promotions or current partnerships. Check reward details when booking to maximize your earnings, and compare with other sites such as Booking.com (even if from the same subsidiary) or the hotel’s own site. You’ll see that prices can vary from one platform to another. It’s also a good idea to check the value of the number of points or miles earned.

Why does Rocketmiles appeal to different traveller profiles?

For Canadians

Rocketmiles represents a solution to maximize their travel rewards, mainly thanks to local partnerships such as Aeroplan.

In addition, Rocketmiles offers collaborations with international programs such as Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan, which provides a good return on investment for flights to Alaska, Hawaii and other popular Canadian destinations.

American Express Membership Rewards credit cardholders in Canada can also take advantage of Rocketmiles to convert their points into useful credits for travel or online purchases.

For business travellers

Many Rocketmiles locations cater specifically to the needs of professionals, who are looking to earn rewards while benefiting from services such as :

  • Business centers
  • Continental breakfasts to take away
  • Simplified departures
  • On-site dry cleaning services

For leisure travellers or luxury travellers

Whether planning a quiet beach getaway or a city adventure, Rocketmiles helps make your stay rewarding. Popular destinations such as Cancun, Las Vegas or New Orleans, or stays in luxury hotels, usually offer the added benefit of significant loyalty point earnings.

Interesting features of Rocketmiles

The Rocketmiles application

Rocketmiles offers an app on iOS and Android that is user-friendly and easy to use. The Rocketmiles app allows you to make your reservations and track your rewards.

Visit the Rocketmiles website or download the application from the App Store. It was present on Google Play but has been rendered inactive. For the latter, you’ll have to make your reservations online. The app has recently been updated for Apple users and is available in English but not in French, just like the site.

Search for hotels, filter according to your preferences and select your rewards program. Once you’ve chosen your hotel, complete your booking and start earning rewards after your stay.

Hotels and loyalty programs

Over 400,000 hotels worldwide are available, offering options to suit all budgets and preferences. You’ll have no trouble finding the right hotel for you.

Finally, thanks to our many established partnerships, you can choose from over 40 loyalty programs, including all the major airlines, hotels and retailers.

Does the number of miles received offset a possible reward with the hotel program?

It all depends on how much you value your points. By taking into account our mileage valuation Aeroplan at 2 cents per mile, you can assess whether it’s worth it.

Here’s an example of a search carried out for the end of August 2025 in Madrid. The Melia Madrid Princesa is available at a rate of 269 CAD taxes included, slightly lower than Booking (271 CAD) even before the 1,000 points offer. The gain in points is equivalent to $20.

According to Melia’s main website, this hotel offers a basic room for 269.42 CAD on the same dates. Therefore, it is beneficial to use Rocketmiles to earn extra points.

Finally, if you have a Booking.com account and already have an advantageous Genius status, your benefits may be better. For example, being level 2, this time, we get a price of 244 CAD per room, all taxes included, i.e., 10% with our status.

As you can see, it’s all a question of price comparison, depending on the sites, the statuses available and the value of the points earned with Rocketmiles, as this site does not guarantee the best rate.
