I really like the UI and the search experience. But more programs are definitely needed, is there any roadmap to add more programs?

I have spent a few months playing with Roame.travel. My net conclusion; a lot of promise there that I hope will be realized, but still very much a beta product.

The biggest issues I see...

1. Way too much phantom space showing up. (AA specific) While some of that is an AA issue, a fair amount is on Roame. When Roame shows me award space and I immediately go to AA and it is not there, that is a Roame issue.
2. The interface is slow.
3. Listing premium fares with 2x% in premium is not a premium fare.

I hope they get there, but trying to monetize it now seems like jumping the gun.

Is there an option to use a password to login as the link to sign-in appears to be taking forever? At least for me.

Hi, may I ask if you checked your spam folder. Or do you have a Yahoo/SBC email domain? We have experienced issues with Yahoo-related emails for a while.

Not yahoo. Of the three attempts, I received the link twice, but after an extended wait, and none on one occasion.

May I ask what domain you use? It is one of the large providers like Gmail? Or a company domain? Are you still experiencing log in issues?

I am seeing this across multiple browsers.
Thanks.
Confirming that this issue should have been completely fixed a couple of months ago

Yes! We are rolling out more loyalty programs as we speak. Are there any in particular that you would like us to prioritize?

Thank you for the feedback! We have looked into AA and those are actually fares we see, but may not be available. Will need to clean the data here.

Ironically, we have been facing bots leveraging our search to collect award flight data. Working on it continuously.

Showing mixed cabin fare to be complete. Unfortunately, if we hid them, we would also get a lots of complaints on missing fares.
Global321 and Warriorconcept like this.

Maybe in a future feature update you could add an option about mixed fares to choose the mix. I think the vast majority of would have no problem with a mixed fare that is coach domestic and business/first international, but (virtually) no one is interested in reverse.

Awards don't seem to be correct when looking at different websites.
