    Complaint Type:
    Product Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    This complaint arises from some miscommunication on both my part and on the part of Rocket Travel, AAdvantages travel agent partner. I am an AAdvantage Platinum Pro member. On April 10, I booked two fully-cancellable hotel reservations (** and ********************) through the AAdvantage portal. When I received my credit card statement, I did not recognize the Tokyo charge (Im getting old). On April 30 I called Rocket Travel to confirm whether that was a legitimate charge and they could not find a record of it, so I disputed the charge with my CC company. On May 2, I realized my error and asked my CC company to reverse the dispute. On May 2, I received an email from Rocket Lawyer cancelling my DC reservation. I immediately called Rocket Lawyer to say I had not requested that reservation to be cancelled and the agent told me she would get back to me within a couple of hours, which she did not, and the DC reservation was not reinstated (and I did get a credit on my CC). For the next few days, I continued to reach out to my CC company who assured me the dispute was resolved. I subsequently tried to make some new hotel reservations through the website and discovered I was locked out. After various conversations with Rocket (by phone and email), I understood that I was locked out because I disputed the charge and that they could do nothing about it. I acknowledged my error but Rocket never acknowledged their role in this; had its agent on April 30 found my reservation, none of this would have happened. A few days later, I discovered that the initially disputed ***************** was never cancelled, at which point I cancelled it and I did receive a CC credit. Since then, I have not been able to make any hotel reservation through the AAdvantage website. I tried to see if AAdvantage could help resolve this, but they have been unable to. I feel I have been unjustly locked out, and as a result I have lost a valuable AAdvantage benefit that I want to see reinstated.

    Avoid at all costs. Was told by customer service that they could waive the cancellation/refund policy and issue a refund but then they proceeded to run me around, insinuate the hotel manager was the reason for the delay, then not respond to follow up emails for almost 2 weeks. Only to turn around and go back on what they said. I attempted to get what the representative said in writing so I would have recourse, but they never sent it. There is good reason why this company has an F rating. Reps/phone operators are not based in the states, and thus unable to communicate in a timely manner with hotel/airline/whoever you need. When it comes to travel, time is literally the most important factor. This company was incapable of doing that on several occasions in my case. Do not book through this company. Even if your banking institution/airline offers rewards to book through them. As a consumer, you trust that major companies would associate with better businesses, but that is obviously not the case. Wish there was a way to warn people before they book so they don't have to learn the hard way like me and hundreds of others.
