How to Earn Points

Rove is a standalone loyalty program that allows you to earn miles on travel, shopping, dining, gift cards, and other purchases. You can then redeem those miles for travel or transfer them to Rove's airline and hotel partners.

You can earn miles in several ways:

  • Hotel bookings: Book through the Rove travel portal, with some hotels offering particularly high promotions. Some offers go as high as 25x on cash bookings.
  • Airfare bookings: Book through the Rove travel portal, which tends to offer lower earning rates than hotels, with 10x as the highest possible multiplier.
  • Online shopping portal: Earn miles on purchases made through Rove’s shopping portal, with elevated rotating offers at participating merchants. Rove also offers Chrome and Safari browser extensions that can alert you to available earning opportunities while you shop online (similar to Rakuten and Capital One Shopping).
  • Rove Dining: Link a card and automatically earn miles at 2,000+ participating restaurants in 20+ U.S. markets.
  • Gift cards: Buy gift cards from participating merchants and receive Rove miles immediately.
  • In-store offers: Link a card and earn miles at participating brick-and-mortar merchants.
  • Referrals: Earn miles by referring friends or family members to Rove.

Loyalty-Eligible Bookings

Another positive feature of Rove is that it allows you to earn loyalty points with your preferred hotel program while also earning Rove miles on the same stay. Rove says Loyalty Eligible rates are now available at roughly 99% of properties within participating hotel chains.

You can toggle the “Loyalty Eligible Stays” button when searching for hotels to see which bookings qualify. You can also filter results by your specific hotel loyalty program.

Another highlight is that whether you pay in advance or at the hotel, the hotel charges your card, not Rove. This allows you to use whichever credit card gives you the highest multiplier on your purchase.

For example:

  • When booking a Hilton hotel, you can use your Hilton credit card to earn the card multiplier and any associated perks.
  • You could also use a Chase or Amex card to earn those points instead.
  • Add your hotel loyalty number to earn points with the hotel program.
  • On top of that, you’ll still earn Rove miles.

It’s a great way to triple dip on rewards.

How to Redeem Points

There are a variety of ways to redeem your miles with Rove. The program offers 20+ airline and hotel transfer partners, including some that are difficult or impossible to access through other transferable points programs. As with most transferable points systems, we generally recommend transferring to partners to get the best value from your miles.

  • Transfer to airline and hotel partners: This is generally the best way to maximize the value of your Rove miles. Rove has 20+ transfer partners, including several programs that are difficult or impossible to access through other transferable points programs.
  • Book hotels through Rove: The hotel booking engine shows both the cash and points price when searching, along with how many miles you’ll earn on a cash booking and how many cents per point you’ll receive when booking an award stay. This makes it easy to determine the best deal right from the search page.
  • Book airfare through Rove: You can earn miles on cash airfare bookings, but you must click through to the booking page to see how many miles you’ll earn. When searching flights, you’ll see both direct booking options and transfer booking options.

One thing to know about flight searches: The transfer booking options are not always comprehensive. We liken it to an award consolidator site. It provides a helpful snapshot of what might be available, but we recommend running your own transfer partner searches directly on each airline’s website to get the most accurate picture of available awards.

Booking Tips

Look for loyalty eligible hotel bookings, then earn Rove miles on that booking, provide your hotel loyalty number to earn brand points and elite night credits, then pay with a travel card to earn hotel or travel category multipliers.

Who is it best for?

Rove Miles is best suited for travelers who want to earn flexible travel rewards without relying on a specific credit card, hotel, or airline loyalty program. Launched in 2025, the program allows users to earn miles through hotel and airfare bookings, online and in-store shopping, dining, gift cards, and other purchases. You can then redeem those miles for travel or transfer them to 20+ airline and hotel partners.

The program can work well for both beginners and experienced points-and-miles users. Beginners can earn transferable rewards without needing to manage multiple credit cards or loyalty programs, while more advanced users may find value in Rove's unique transfer partners and the ability to stack Rove miles with other rewards. Loyalty Eligible hotel bookings are especially appealing because you can earn Rove miles while still earning hotel points, elite-night credits, and status benefits.

That said, Rove is still a relatively new program with a shorter track record than established systems like Chase or Amex. We think it works best as a supplement to other rewards strategies rather than as a primary loyalty currency. But for travelers looking for another way to turn everyday purchases and travel bookings into flexible miles, Rove has quickly become an increasingly useful option.

Status Levels Explained

Rove does not have its own elite status program like other standalone points programs such as Bilt. It does, however, allow you to earn elite status points with hotels when booking through Rove.

Search for and book a “Loyalty Eligible” hotel, and you’ll be able to enter your loyalty number and earn elite status points on your stay.

What to Know Before Canceling

Rove is not tied to a specific credit card or bank, and there is no fee for joining or using Rove, so there is no need to ever cancel your account.

FAQs

Do you need a credit card to earn Rove miles?

No, there is no specific credit card you need to earn Rove miles. Rove is a standalone loyalty program that isn't tied to a specific bank or card issuer. You can earn miles through travel bookings, online and in-store shopping, dining, gift cards, and other purchases, while still earning rewards from the credit card you use to pay.

Can you transfer Rove miles to airlines or hotels?

Yes, Rove has 20+ airline and hotel transfer partners, including several programs that are difficult or impossible to access through other transferable points currencies. Transferring to partners is usually the best way to get outsized value from your Rove miles.

Does Rove show award flights from transfer partners?

Rove does display transfer partner booking options in its flight search results. However, these are not always comprehensive, so we still recommend searching airline programs directly before transferring to a specific partner.

Are Rove hotel bookings eligible for hotel loyalty points and elite status credit?

Yes, when you book a Loyalty Eligible rate. These bookings allow you to earn Rove miles while also earning hotel points, elite-night credits, and eligible status benefits. Rove says Loyalty Eligible rates are available at roughly 99% of properties within participating hotel chains.
