This is a backward step.
Just tried to book a room.
10% more expensive than Wotif.
Being points junkie thought I'd go through with it anyway.
Filled everything out and pressed confirm to pay.
Takes me back to booking screen saying I was getting some reward.
Had to fill out everything again.
Then told me the room type I booked was now not available.
Went onto Wotif and made this booking and another.
Room type was available.
Saved about $240 with difference to Rocket site.
Virgin Australia-Rocket Travel = Epic fail
