Both at hotels in Bangkok, in case that matters. RM sent me emails after each stay was completed saying when the miles would post: March 18 and March 20 respectively. But none of the miles have posted to my AAdvantage account, and my RM account now lists the miles for both stays as "pending". I have also had several stays using bookaahotels.com -- I started using this site instead of Rocketmiles, notwithstanding the amazingly bad interface, once I learned that both sets of bookaahotels boosts do count as base miles, so much better miles/dollar ratio if you can actually find a hotel there -- for a total of 22.5K miles, and none of these have posted either. But the bookaahotels FAQs say their miles will take six to eight weeks to post.
No one seems to have received miles from either company (both are owned by booking.com) since very early March. I have a feeling they're trying to fix the promo miles loophole. I'm waiting for 33K miles to post from May 6 and May 11.
