Booking Vacation - Miles
I am looking to book a vacation and was thinking of American or Continental vacations. If you book through one of the carriers do you get the miles for the flight and the hotel stay or is there a restriction on this?
Thanks

Welcome to Flyertalk
You will get miles for the flights and almost always for the hotel. If the hotel is some special discounted rate it may not give miles, but I have never had that problem.
If you don't need the hotel, there are times booking through the vacation sites is way less money for the same flights as the regular website, you just skip the hotel.
Just check the fare class of the flight to make sure, but unless they get really cheap and make changes you will get the miles.
