  I made a reservation via AAdvantage hotel (#*********) and asked for the reservation to be cancelled if a refund could be issued. Rocket Travel then cancelled the reservation without a refund. I would like for a full refund to be issued. The refund was defined. If I am expected to pay fully for this reservation, then I should get the associated ***** miles rewards, which I have not been granted.

  Dear ****,
  
  Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we have worked on your previous request. We recognize that the situation regarding the refund for your reservation has been frustrating, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
  
  As previously communicated, the decision regarding refunds is governed by the terms and conditions established by the hotels and their central reservation offices, and unfortunately, we are unable to override their policies in this instance.
  
  However, we are pleased to inform you that we have processed your request to add the applicable mileage to your AAdvantage account. This has been authorized today, and you should see the miles reflected in your account within the next two weeks.
  
  We hope this resolution is helpful and clarifies the current status. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or require additional assistance.
  
  Kind regards,

  Dear ****,
  
  Thank you for your valuable time, kind patience, and for sharing your feedback. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention as it helps us to continuously improve our services.
  
  We understand your disappointment regarding the partial refund for your reservation. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.
  
  We want to clarify that the reservation you made through our website was subject to a non-refundable and non-amendable policy, which was agreed to and acknowledged by you during the booking process.
  
  Despite this strict policy, we did attempt to contact the hotel on your behalf to request a refund. Please note that, as previously advised, while the reservation has been canceled, a refund could not be guaranteed, and once a cancellation occurs, the reservation cannot be reinstated, regardless of the refund outcome.
  
  Unfortunately, despite our efforts, the hotel/central reservation office has denied our refund request, adhering to their established terms and conditions.
  
  While we empathize with situations that may prevent you from completing your stay, we must emphasize that we are bound by the policies set forth by the hotels and central reservation offices and are unable to override their decisions in this instance.
  
  We remain at your disposal should you have any further questions or require any additional clarification.
  
  Kind regards,

  I am rejecting this response because: The response mentioned a "partial refund" -- none was issued, so this is simply not correct. I understand the policy, however, I requested that the cancellation only take place if a refund could be issued. It should not have been cancelled otherwise, which you cancelled anyways, so I indeed am expecting a refund and will continue to reject the resolution without a proper resolution.

  I had booked a trip to ********. I made the hotel, airline and car rental at the same time, mainly using my AA miles. I did have to pay $185.42 in addition to miles for the car rental. Unfortunately I fell and broke my kneecap Dec 7, 2024. At the same time, my wife had to have surgery for an issue that came up. They did not do surgery for my cracked patella, but opted to allow it to heal on its own. My wife had complications from her surgery. She is now wearing a wound vac. Because of our health issues, we decided to cancel our trip. This was early February. We contacted the airlines, car rental agency and the hotel to cancel. The only problem we had was dealing with the rental car agency. The last correspondence with them was Feb 20, 2025 at which they said they would need something from our doctors saying we cant go. I responded by saying we both have notes from our doctors saying we cant travel. By the way, our trip was scheduled for May 3, 2025. We had given them plenty of notice for cancellation. Now, *** is refusing to reimburse us the $185.42 and we also lost the ****** points used to secure the car rental service. All we want is to be reimbursed the $185.42 and the ****** points. We did what they requested and feel its not right for them to keep our money. We had given them plenty notice and we have documentation from our doctors saying we cant travel in May.

  Hi ******,
  
  First of all, we thank you for your preference and loyalty in choosing us to make your reservation. We received a notification from the Better Business Bureau regarding a review of ********* at Budget.
  
  I am truly sorry to hear about the unfortunate situation and health complications that you and your wife experienced in December. I understand that dealing with these health issues has undoubtedly been a challenging time for both of you, and I sincerely empathize with the difficult decision you had to make to cancel your planned vacation.
  
  I noticed a chargeback filed in our system. Since your bank has been involved, while this is a department that has a high level of management, we are not entitled to expedite processes that are involved with external entities, including financial institutions. That said, we can only wait for your bank to make the final ruling in collaboration with our specialized team. Unfortunately, we do not have a time estimate for these cases, and we recommend you wait for updates from your bank.
  
  Please know that we remain at your disposal for any further queries or assistance you may require.

Unfortunately, without my knowledge, my fraud department to file a dispute Because they thought that the charge was nonrefundable without knowing that I had already gotten a refund I have submitted all the documents and emails seven your support team through ********* and would like my account restored Ive even sent in a letter from the bank that the dispute from my employer has been Dismissed.

  Hi ******,

  First of all, we thank you for your preference and loyalty. We received a notification from the Better Business Bureau regarding your recent report of account locked.
  
  We have noticed that the letter forwarded by your bank indicates that the amount is $5,169.75, while the dispute was for $3,922.26. I advise reaching out to your bank to issue a letter indicating that the chargeback for the specific amount of $3,922.26 was dropped for further evaluation.
  
  I recognize the difficulty you are facing as an authorized user without direct access to the corporate bank account. I also understand the urgency of the situation with your upcoming travel and the need to book hotels. Despite empathizing with your report and our desire to waive the user lock, our system has automatically recognized that a chargeback was issued. Please note that until we receive the official letter from your bank confirming that they have agreed to drop the chargeback (for $3,922.26) , we will be unable to proceed with the account release. This is not a new process or a preference on our side but an established procedure for the intervention of external entities such as your bank.
  
  I regret that we could not be more helpful this time, but we must respect the established procedures for these scenarios. We are more than willing to assist you once the case is resolved or when you forward us the letter from the bank.
  
  Thank you for your understanding.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  well, I appreciate the response from the team at ****************************************. I have provided a letter on bank letterhead that shows that this dispute From the corporate entity that initiated it due was a delay in a refund on the canceled hotel. I have never disputed any charge with ***************** or ***************** hotels up until this point and there is no risk since the hotel was never stayed in and it was for a future reservation. I look forward to ***************** unlocking this account now that I have provided letter on bank letterhead that clearly says that this dispute has been dropped by the CEO of my company and furthermore, they should be able to see on their end if this dispute is done once my account has been restored to book hotels as an executive platinum loyal customer. I will consider this matter resolved. I just emailed the letter today so lets hope that the good people at ***************** can do the right thing.

  I used Advantage Hotels/Rocket Travel to purchase a stay and loyalty points for status on American Advantage. I inquired by email in regards to purchase a hotel on non refundable would apply towards the month I purchased or instant accrual. I was told yes twice. I purchased after getting this information on email. The purchase was made for ******************************* March. After making stay the points showed up on March 5th. I called twice and was told they could do nothing on their end, I spoke to Supervisor ******* and she was the worst customer service supervisor you could ever get. Was not apologetic but kept repeating what the booking said. I told her multiple times that I contacted customer service with advantage hotels and was told it would be instant accrual. When the supervisor wouldn't apologize or give me any options I am choosing to file a complaint now and either get my miles posted in February or get my money back since they failed on every level to give the information I needed. ******* was not nice to a paying customer and should be reprimanded for being a terrible supervisor rep. ** apology and a solution may have calmed all of this down and not led to filing complaint. ******* is the supervisor

  Hi *******,
  
  First of all, we thank you for your preference and loyalty in choosing us to make your reservation. We received a notification from the Better Business Bureau regarding a review of 837025966.
  
  I understand your frustration regarding the posting time of your American Advantage points and the interaction you had with our supervisor.
  
  I sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. I understand how important it is to receive accurate information and timely resolution, especially regarding loyalty program benefits. 
  
  I have reviewed your phone record and attempted to locate the specific interaction where you were advised about instant accrual. Unfortunately, I was unable to find a record matching your description. However, I want to clarify that in general, ************************* points are credited to your account approximately four weeks after the completion of your stay, as outlined in the confirmation email you received.
  
  I also apologize for the interaction you had with our supervisor. We take your feedback seriously, especially regarding our escalation team, as they are a critical part of our customer service. We will be addressing your concerns regarding her demeanor and conduct with the appropriate management to ensure our teams are providing the highest level of service and empathy.
  
  Regarding your main concern, I recommend reaching out to your American Advantage Loyalty Program Account Representative directly. They may have options available to assist you in achieving your desired status. They are best equipped to handle specific requests related to your loyalty account. Our system performs base points credits only. 

  
  I understand this may not be the resolution you were hoping for, and I am truly sorry for the inconvenience and frustration this has caused. We value your patronage and are committed to improving our services to prevent similar situations in the future.

  
  Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

  Hi *******,

  We received your BBB rejection.

  I understand and acknowledge your frustration. It is certainly disheartening to learn that this impacted your desired status.
  
  While I recognize your desire for us to manually adjust the posting date of the points to reflect your booking date, I sincerely regret having to reiterate that our system generates these details automatically and they cannot be modified. In the same way, the fact that your miles were going to be credited within a maximum of four weeks after your stay, as stated in your confirmation email, cannot be dismissed.
  
  Regarding your request for a refund, I have reviewed your case in light of the successful crediting of your points according to the time frame indicated in your confirmation email. In this instance, I regret to inform you that a refund is not applicable.
  
  Despite I did not find any related record of your communication before booking, we are taking your feedback seriously and are actively reviewing our internal processes to ensure our team provides accurate information in the future.

  I am rejecting this response because: I 100% believe I was given the wrong information and the business is not doing anything besides denying they can do anything about the points. I was recently given a 45 dollar coupon for future stay, but at this point I do not want to use this company for future stays. I would still like my points applied the way I was told or get a refund. They continue to deny either.

  My complaint is related to my AAdvantage Hotels booking which website is owned and operated by Rocket Travel, Inc. by *****. My booking confirmation *********.I booked a Comfort Room at a hotel on AAdvantage Hotels website for 3 nights.On the night of my check in on 2/20/25, I found out that my room was back to back with the front desk, which is separated by a very thin wall. My room was very noisy which disrupts my rest. I immediately talked to the hotel staff in person as well as called AAdvantage ******************************** to request to change to a quieter room, but I was told by both parties that the hotel was fully booked and I can't move. As it was very late at night and I was in a foreign country, I had no choice but to stay for the night, but I wrote an email to the hotel manager as well as AAdvantage ******************************** requesting to change the room in the morning.On the second day 2/21/25, the noise got worse. I took videos of the noise in my room and emailed to the hotel manager and the AAdvantage ******************************** I also spoke to the hotel manager on the phone who agreed to refund me the rest 2 nights, so that I can find another hotel as the hotel did not have other rooms. The hotel manager told me that I needed to contact AAdvantage ******************************** for refund as my payment first went to AAdvantage ********************************, and the hotel has not received payment. I then called AAdvantage ******************************** on 2/21/25 explaining the situation and agreement with the hotel manager about the refund. AAdvantage ******************************** said that they needed to do internal investigation. I shared all my email communication as well as videos showing the noise with AAdvantage ********************************, which promised a resolution in ***** hours. I followed up every 3-4 days since then and it's already 3/10/25 and I still have not heard back and AAdvantage ******************************** stopped responding to me.

  Hi **** *****,
  
  First of all, we thank you for your preference and loyalty in choosing us to make your reservation. We received a notification from the Better Business Bureau regarding a review of 816580406.
  
  I understand that you were unable to rest comfortably due to the proximity of your room to the front desk, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
  
  Following your request for a refund, I immediately investigated the situation. I understand you were informed that the hotel manager had approved a two-night refund. However, upon speaking directly with the hotel management, I was informed that a one-night refund was initially approved upon immediate cancellation at the system level, allowing your room to be occupied by another guest. Our team agents did their best to facilitate this (immediate cancellation), but unfortunately, the system requires specific and precise procedures that can sometimes take longer than expected. Subsequently, the hotel has denied any refund.
  
  The hotel management has also indicated that their location in the center of the ancient town means that some level of noise is to be expected during certain hours of the day. They also noted that your room accommodation was otherwise in perfect condition and that you departed at 4:00 p.m. on the second day of your stay.
  
  Despite the discrepancy in the information regarding the two-night refund approval, and in our commitment to your satisfaction as a valued AAdvantage Hotel customer, we have processed a one-night refund of $236.54 back to your original payment method today, March 18, 2025. Please allow 7-14 business days for this to reflect in your account. Furthermore, we have not deducted any value of the AAdvantage miles that were credited to your account for this booking. We are absorbing the cost of this one-night refund, which was the only refund explicitly approved and confirmed to us by the hotel management. Furthermore, we have not deducted any value of the AAdvantage miles that were credited to your account for this booking. 
  
  To move forward with your request for an additional one-night refund, I would require further clarification regarding the two-night refund approval you received from the hotel manager. If you can provide us with any written confirmation or further details that substantiate this two-night approval from the hotel, we would be happy to re-evaluate your case.
  
  Without further clarification and documented confirmation of the two-night refund approval from the hotel, we will consider this case closed following the processing of the one-night refund issued today.
  
  We value your loyalty as an ***************** and AAdvantage Hotel customer and regret that this particular experience did not meet your expectations. We hope you will consider using AAdvantage Hotels for your future travel needs.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  

  Thanks ******* for the update. I appreciate your effort working with me to resolve this issue. I am confident that we will find a resolution on this case.
  
  
  As far as for the written support for the 2 nights refund approved by the hotel management, please see attached email chain. I also did a screenshot in case you have an issue opening the file.
  
  
  As you can see from my initial complaint, which was sent from my other email address linked to my AAHotel account, I had been in communication with both AAHotel and the ********************************* team, confirming the hotel has agreed to refund me for two nights of my stay. There have been no further disputes regarding this resolution, which is why I left the hotel and booked an alternative accommodation, assuming that the refund for the two nights would be processed as agreed. 
  
  
  I would never lie or fabricate this situation, especially since the hotel management is included in this email chain. They would have disputed my claim easily if the resolution I emailed was not true or made up. In fact, if the hotel management is now telling ******* that they never agreed to refund me for the two nights, it would mean the hotel is providing false information. In that case, I believe *******, as my agent or **************** customers' agent, should support me and other AA customers in addressing this dishonest behavior, take appropriate action against the hotel, and consider penalties or removal of the hotel from your platform.
  
  
  Based on basic contract, customer protection and agency law, if an ********************** agency is made aware of dishonest practices by a hotel and fails to remove the hotel from their platform or take appropriate action, they could be in breach of their duty of care under consumer protection and contractual obligations. By allowing a dishonest hotel to remain listed, ******* may be violating their responsibility to ensure that the services they offer are reliable and not misleading to customers. This failure to act could potentially constitute a breach of the agencys legal and ethical duties.
  
  
  With that being said, I appreciate the process of refund for 1 night, but I have the following 2 requests:
  
  
  1. I continue to request for a refund of my 2nd nights as previously agreed with the hotel, in the form of cash or travel credit valid for 1 year from today.
  
  
  2. Now with written support from me that the hotel agreed for a 2 nights refund, what actions will AAHotel take to penalize ******** ************** as they have been actively being dishonest or misrepresenting the situation with AAHotel.

  
  Sincerely,
  
  **** *****

  Hi **** *****,
  
  Thank you for your further response and for highlighting your perspective.
  
  I have carefully reviewed the screenshot you forwarded before. While I understand this reflects your written communication to both AAdvantage Hotel and the ********************** on that date, the content of the screenshot, as it appears to us, primarily discusses an issue related to clean service arrangements. I do see your statement within that communication indicating a two-night refund approval, but not from the hotel. 
  
  As previously stated, we have been in direct and ongoing communication with the ********************** management regarding your stay. They have consistently maintained, and provided written confirmation, that the only refund they approved was for one night. This was further reconfirmed by the hotel during our direct contact. For this BBB record, I enclose the written approval received from the hotel.
  
  I fully respect your desire for a two-night refund and understand your disappointment with the situation. However, our refund processes are directly tied to the approvals we receive from the hotel, who are best positioned to assess the issues experienced during your stay. 
  
  While we understand this is not the resolution you were hoping for, our final position remains the issuance of the one-night refund of $236.54, which has already been processed.

  Does the advertised "soundproofing" on by the hotel and on AAHotel's (Rocket Travel **** website constitute false advertising? Please see the snip below from the AAHotel Comfort Room description. As I have repeatedly mentioned, my room is separated by a thin wall from the front desk. The room is very noisy and it is not soundproofing as advertised on your website.
  
  With this being said, I would request AAhotel and the ********************** to refund me 2 nights that I have not stayed, due to the noise as well as the false advertising.

  I booked a hotel room with a pool view at the **************************************** through AAdvantage hotels operated by Rocket Travel **** (RTI) on February 20, 2025. (Confirmation number: *********) I contacted *** that same day to request a cancellation. My cancellation request was denied as the rate was non-refundable.Because the cancellation request was denied, I completed the stay at the hotel. However, I was not given the pool view room that I paid for, so I am requesting a partial refund because I did not receive what was paid for.Additionally. the ***** AAdvantage miles that were part of the benefits of the booking were never added to my account. So I am additionally requesting that the ***** AAdvantage miles be added to my account ********** the miles cannot be delivered, I would accept a full refund for the booking as satisfactory compensation.

  Hi *****,
  
  First of all, we thank you for your preference and loyalty in choosing us to make your reservation. We received a notification from the Better Business Bureau regarding a review of *********.
  
  I have identified a report of a room assigned without pool view for your reservation ********* at the ****************************************. I sincerely regret this discrepancy, as such instances are uncommon within our platform's operations, and we are committed to investigating this matter thoroughly to identify the root cause and implement measures to prevent similar situations from occurring in the future.
  
  As part of the measures we will take to resolve your case, we have evaluated the price difference within the framework of third party companies in order to make an equivalence of the payment made to the hotel. That said, it was found this difference is only 5 USD per night. I understand the dissatisfaction you faced upon arrival, so I would like to extend that compensation to a Travel Credit of 50 USD to show our commitment to resolve your case. Please know that this is the maximum amount we can grant in this instance considering the original difference of costs ($5).
  
  I have also sent your 5100 miles to the most immediate cycle of posting, and they will be credited to your account within one or two weeks (normally they are credited sooner).
  
  Your Travel Credit has been successfully sent to your email address on file. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in reaching a mutually agreeable resolution. Your business is crucial to us, and we hope to provide you with a better experience in the future.

  On February 22, 2025, I sent a message to Rocket Travel **** asking if they could give me a call because I needed to notify them of some travel changes. I never heard back so two days later on February 24th, I called and spoke with a ***resentative, ****** about my dates of travel changes and that I still wanted to keep my reservation but want them to notify the hotel not to cancel my reservation on February 25th when I was scheduled to arrive. I wanted Rocket Travel to update the hotel that I will be arriving on February 28th. They stated that they were unable to get in contact with the hotel and would follow up with me. I never heard back from Rocket Travel and on February 27th I called Rocket Travel AGAIN to get an update on if they were able to speak with the hotel, H4 *********************. The *** at Rocket Travel attempted to call the hotel while I was on the phone but stated that no one at the hotel was answering. I communicated that I was traveling and didn't understand how they were unable to get in contact with a hotel after 5 days and multiple attempts. Rocket Travel **** sent an email stating that they reached out to the hotel and they were unresponsive and asked if I wanted to cancel the reservation. I communicated AGAIN that I just wanted them to notify the hotel that I will be using the reservation and just want them to notify the hotel that I will be checking in on February 28th. Needless to say, Rocket Travel **** was never able to communicate my request and when I arrived to the hotel they mentioned that I was listed as a NO SHOW and my reservation was canceled resulting in me losing out on $510.88. I attempted multiple times to mitigate the issue and had to rebook a new reservation and spend extra money for a hotel. The lack of empathy and communication was unprofessional and disheartening. It's not fair and I'm requesting my money back.

  Hi ******,
  
  First of all, we thank you for your preference and loyalty in choosing us to make your reservation. We received a notification from the Better Business Bureau regarding a review of 814709978.
  
  I acknowledge your recent hotel reservation and the concerns you have raised. I understand your frustration with the difficulties we encountered in reaching the hotel and the subsequent issues with your reservation. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or distress this situation has caused. 
  
  Regarding the modification of your booking or notification of late arrival, I must reiterate that hotel policies are strictly adhered to and are aligned with system's functionalities. As outlined in our terms and conditions, hotels are subject to the accepted policy, which typically dictates that a hotel offer may be non-refundable and non-amendable.
  
  I understand that our team attempted to assist you by communicating with the hotel. Please note that any additional considerations are facilitated by the property and are largely documented as internal notes, quite difficult in system-level modifications. While we strive to act as a helpful intermediary, the primary responsibility for direct communication lies between the hotel and the client.
  
  Furthermore, we have been notified of the chargeback initiated with your bank. Due to this action, our system has automatically locked the reservation. As a result, any further updates or refund-related inquiries must be addressed directly with your financial institution, as they are now the primary point of contact for this matter. We advise you to reach out to them for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding your refund.

  
  As a gesture of goodwill and in recognition that our customer service may not have fully met your expectations, we have issued a Travel Credit of $40. This credit has been sent to your registered email address and can be utilized for future bookings (hotel platform and cash+travel credit combination only, or the travel credit alone).
  I understand this situation has been challenging, and I appreciate your understanding.

  
  Kind regards,

  I had a reservation using ****** points through AAdvantage website. I needed to change the dates of my reservation and they told me to contact the hotel directly. They said they were unable to contact the hotel and I would need to call them myself. I called the number and they couldnt find my reservation. The second number they gave me the hotel couldnt find my reservation as well. The third number they gave me the hotel couldnt find my reservation either. The booking date has now passed and I lost my points and every time I call rocket travel they put me on hold for long waits and give me the runaround. I would like my points refunded immediately.

  Dear *****,
  Thank you for your valuable time and patience. We are happy to assist you.
  We have escalated your case to our Customer Satisfaction and Investigations (CSI) team for further review. After a thorough investigation into all circumstances involved in this situation, we found that your reservation was under a strict non-refundable/non-amendable policy, which was clearly displayed during the booking process, and you agreed to these terms before completing your reservation.
  In our eagerness to assist, we contacted the hotel to request a date change on your behalf. However, our request was denied, and the hotel indicated they needed to speak with you directly to address any resolution. When you informed us that the hotel could not locate your reservation, we reached out again and spoke with the owner, ****, who confirmed that the reservation was active and ready for your scheduled check-in date.
  Please note that despite our efforts to secure a refund or modification, the hotel has maintained their stance due to the strict non-refundable/non-amendable policy. While we empathize with your desire for a refund or date change, we are bound by the terms and conditions established by the hotel for this reservation. We genuinely apologize for the unfavorable outcome. Please understand that changes or cancellations free of charge are exceptions that only the hotel or central reservation office can approve or deny.
  We hope this information clarifies the situation. We remain at your disposal for any further queries you may have.
  Kind regards,

  I am rejecting this response because: This does not address the fact that this company is advertising an ****** as a hotel and their mistake in giving me the wrong phone number several times causing confusion. I could have had my son use the reservation, but when I called they said that there was no reservation under my name. This was excessive unnecessary delay by the travel agency and there needs to be consquences for their poor service.

  We want to assure you that the phone numbers we provided were the same numbers we used to contact the hotel directly. We apologize for any misunderstanding. However, we must reiterate that all relevant information regarding the booking was provided during the reservation process.
  We appreciate your understanding.

  1 March 2025 Reservations were made with AAdvantage Hotels for ***** April 2025. Upon receiving the confirmation number I noticed the dates should have been ***** April 2025. I called the number to get the dates updated and was told that the reservation had not hit the hotel system yet. I was told that I would receive an email within ***** hours (see screenshot of email). It has been 5 days since first contact and I have received nothing but excuse after excuse why the dates cannot be updated. 1. ********** reservations **** needs to update it. 2. I personally call the hotel chain and was informed by ****** in reservations and ******(sp?) at the front desk that the booking agency ROCKET TRAVEL by ***** needs to send them an email requesting the update. 3. I have been told numerous times (each time I call Rocket Travel) that Im being put on hold so the hotel can be contacted and ensure the dates cannot be changed. 4. As soon as the agent comes back on the line Im told that theyre still waiting on an update from the hotel stating the dates can be changed. 5. ********* and ***** from Rocket Travel informed me that they have received confirmation from the hotel and the dates would be changed (4 Mar 2025). 6. As of 6 Mar 2025 no further emails/contact from Rocket Travel has been made by them (I have to reach out) and being pressed to cancel the reservation and rebook which means they will make double the money. The customer service representatives have lied numerous times and fail to help/do their job.

  Dear ******,
  Thank you for your patience and for allowing us to assist you with your reservation. We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention.
  We have conducted a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding your request to change the reservation dates. Our engineers have confirmed that the dates selected during the booking process were those originally entered by you.
  We understand that errors can occur during the booking process. However, we also emphasize the importance of carefully reviewing all reservation details before confirming, particularly given that this reservation was made under a strict non-refundable/non-amendable policy.
  Despite this policy, we have been diligently working to facilitate your date change request. This process requires coordination between our system, the central reservation office system, and the hotel's system. Please note that if any of these parties are unable to implement the change directly within their respective systems, the request will be denied.
  Currently, the hotel has verbally agreed to consider the change. However, they have not yet implemented the changes within their system. As previously stated, their ability to directly modify the reservation within their system is crucial for the success of this request.
  We will continue to actively pursue this request on your behalf. Please allow us 3-5 business days to finalize the process. We will keep you informed of any updates.
  We hope this information clarifies the situation. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I have spoken with the hotel multiple times and have been told it could be done. I was also told multiple times that the date would be changed by two different representatives just to get the same response that I just got in this response.  I find it suspect that when I suggested to get the hotel on three-way I was told that it was policy not to talk on three-way.  I have also have received a different response via email(see attached). UNETHICAL So either someone is lying or theres no communication between different levels of the company. Just leave the reservation as is and I will take this as a ****** learned that this business will use and has scripted excuses not to help the consumer.

  I am filing this complaint against Rocket Travel by ***** due to an unresolved refund issue.On 10/24/2024, I booked a hotel (*********** in *******) through Rocket Travel and paid in full, receiving a 17% discount. For reference my booking ID is *****************, upon returning home on 11/13/2024, I discovered that the hotel had charged me the full price for the stay. The reason? Rocket Travel had not paid them.I immediately contacted Rocket Travels support team via email, requesting a full refund for the amount wrongly charged by the hotel. To my surprise, they only refunded part of the amount.For the past three months, I have repeatedly followed up with Rocket Travels support, but they have failed to resolve the issue. Each time, I am told that the remaining balance was supposedly processed and that I need to wait for an email from Hyperwallet to access my funds. First, they asked me to wait 3-5 business days, then 7-14 business days, and so on. It has now been three months, and I am still *********** can a company of this size fail to process a simple refund? This is completely unacceptable. I should not be harmed due to their incompetence.I am requesting the full refund owned to me.

  I am rejecting this response because I have not received any email from the Hyperwallet system. I have already allowed a couple of months for the email to reach my inbox, and yes, I have checked all possible Gmail folders. In fact, I have lost count of how many times I have been asked to wait for this email-credit since I first reached out to Rocket Travel in early November 2024.

  
  The process through Hyperwallet is clearly not working, and Rocket Travel has not provided any alternative ways to receive this credit.
  

  I would appreciate a more assertive and specific response to this matter, which has been ongoing far longer than it should have been.
