American Airlines has a loyalty program called AAdvantage. It has been widely documented already that AAdvantage took a devaluation hit this past year in reward redemption. That being said, I still believe that there is still a lot of value to be had, especially for short-haul redemptions.

Rocketmiles is a hotel booking engine which looks for the best rates at a number of hotel chains.
