From Chrome's developer tools, I see the error occurred due to:

I've heard that this may happen because autofill goes haywire and inputs erroneous data. Try typing that in manually.

 

What happens when you try your phone?.

Solution

Are you booking with points or cash (debit or credit card)

 

If you are booking a cash ticket you can book the flight and add your RR number after booking and no log in would be required. 

 

If you are trying to use points you could book by phone by calling reservations 800-435-9792 

 

You could also try to reset your password to see if that fixes anything.

Looks like it's a known issue. I can login to the website just fine, but not the app. Hopefully rectified soon. As noted above, you can book without being logged in then add your RR number later, or call to make a points booking.

Issues with Login

You may experience errors when attempting to log in. We are working to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. You may still book flights now and add your Rapid Rewards account later.
