You do not need to book through AA. You can book through your normal booking channel. The big deal here is that you must have your hotel earning preferences set for AAdvantage miles and not set for the hotel chain's points. Even though I received the email and registered, this may be a promo that provides me nothing as I typically find my Starwood Starpoints more valuable (especially with the elite bonus) than the paltry AA miles I could earn with the same stay.
