Rocketmiles AMTRAK code showing 0 results when code is used
I have a roadtrip through AZ, NM, and TX coming up and I'm trying to book a hotel in at least one town along the way using the Rocketmiles 3000 point deal.
If I search using the link or the AMTRAK code in the app it gives me zero results in at least two of the towns I've searched. BUT, if I do the exact same search, not using the referral link or code I get results. It's almost as if it's zeroing out results when I use the code in some towns. Granted I'm searching for Holbrook AZ and Alamogordo NM, but I get at least 1 and 2 results respectively, until I try to use the code.
Anyone else run into this problem?
I sent a message on to Rocketmiles and AGR so I'll see what they tell me. The terms make no mention of only applying in certain areas or for certain hotels.

Yes, I have seen the Amtrak code on a prospective Rocketmiles booking trim the list of offered hotels. Trying to generalize from just a few observations it seems to drop the lowest-priced properties. Maybe there's nothing but 1 or 2* properties (not participating in buying AGR points) available in the localities you're checking.
