Launched in 2025, Rove Miles is one of the newest transferable point programs, offering users a way to earn rewards on travel and online purchases without needing a credit card. This feature sets Rove apart from other programs that gatekeep points behind credit card access.
Here’s how Rove works, how to earn miles, redeem them and where this program may fit into your overall travel strategy.
Rove combines elements of a shopping portal, an online travel agency (OTA) and a transferable rewards program into a single ecosystem, where miles earned from flights, hotels or online purchases can be redeemed for travel or transferred to partners.
To start using Rove, you’ll need to create an account, which requires a phone number, and log in.
Rove offers three primary ways to earn miles: booking hotels, buying flights, and making purchases through its shopping portal.
Loyalty-eligible rates are charged by the hotel and earn hotel points and elite credits. Non-loyalty rates work like standard OTA bookings, meaning they won’t earn hotel points or elite credit, but typically offer higher Rove earning rates.
When searching for hotels, you can toggle to view loyalty-eligible properties, since default results show non-loyalty options.
Rove makes it easy to compare options by displaying both the cash price and the mileage cost in the results. For example, a two-night stay at the Hotel Le Notre Dame Saint Michel in Paris costs $612 or 42,000 Rove miles, which equates to about 1.4 cents per mile. This visibility of both earning rate and redemption value helps users decide whether to pay with cash or miles. Additionally, Rove’s redemption value is dynamic and fluctuates based on route and availability, providing flexibility for users. Booking through the portal can provide travelers with solid redemption rates, while transferring miles to airline partners opens up the possibility of higher-value redemptions. For those seeking an alternative to traditional credit card rewards, Rove offers a more accessible way to earn and redeem miles.
