American Airlines is in the middle of negotiating a new credit card deal.  I’ve banked with Citi since I was 5 years old, so I prefer they keep the relationship.  To be completely honest, I prefer both cards stay so we can continue to earn EQMs from both.  But, that just ain’t happening.

Here’s a master list of all the current hotel booking bonuses for 3rd party sites Kaligo, PointsHound and RocketMiles.

And, while we’re on the subject, how to get 500 bonus miles on your next RocketMiles booking.
