Points/miles upstart Rove Miles just announced something pretty intriguing.
Starting now, hotel stays booked through Rove Miles:
- Earn Rove Miles
- Earn hotel program loyalty points AND allow you to be eligible for elite night credits and status benefits such as upgrades, free breakfast, etc.
- Earn credit card points for your purchase
Rove Miles can be redeemed for airline and hotel bookings on their platform and/or transferred to one of their partners, such as:
- Aeromexico Rewards
- Air France-KLM Flying Blue (ahem, Delta fans!)
- ALL — AccorLive Limitless
- Cathay
- Etihad Guest
- Finnair Plus
- Hainan Airlines Fortune Wings Club
- Maharaja Club
- Qatar Airways Privilege Club
- Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus
- Turkish Airlines Miles & Smiles
- Vietnam Airlines Lotusmiles
“We’re eliminating outdated barriers in the travel rewards world,” said Arhan Chhabra, Co-Founder and President of Rove said in a statement. “For the first time ever, travelers don’t have to choose between flexibility and loyalty; they can have both. This is what modern rewards should look like.” (If you’ve been to a Frequent Traveler University or read blogs such as Upgraded Points, AwardWallet, or NerdWallet, chances are you know Carissa Rawson. She’s Rove Miles’ Director of Travel and Marketing. She’s one of us points/miles enthusiasts!)
Rove Miles award bookings are similar to those made through Chase, American Express, Capital One, etc.: they’re considered revenue bookings to the airlines or hotels. So, you’d earn eligible status nights, miles/points, upgrades, etc. for those bookings, too. (All Rove purchases code as hotels for now, though I’m told that may change in the future.)
As an example: let’s say you’re chasing Hyatt Globalist status. You book a night through Rove and pay with whatever credit card you want. You’ll earn your World of Hyatt elite night toward Globalist, earn World of Hyatt points and be eligible for any applicable World of Hyatt status benefits. You’ll also earn Rove Miles and credit card points. If you want, you can then redeem those Rove Miles toward another Hyatt stay — and still earn all the good stuff.
Again, that’s just an example. Use them however you want through the program.
You can also earn Rove Miles on all Loyalty Eligible hotel bookings through October 31, 2025—totaling 10x Rove Miles per $1 spent—in addition to any hotel points and credit card rewards earned.
Another way to earn Rove Miles: through their shopping portal and shopping extension. So, there’s the potential for a lot of free travel.
Happy booking and earning!

Obviously the key issue is will the rates be the same as a direct booking? Most chains have a 10% member direct booking discount.
It’s on an individual basis for now; some chains are showing the member discount and others aren’t. We’re also getting the package deals, which can be cheaper than the member discount. Our next version of Loyalty Eligible should include the discounts for every brand at every chain.
