How to Earn and Redeem Rove Miles

Whether you're doing online shopping or booking travel, you're always going to want to get the most from your money. That's where Rove comes in. We're not your typical booking portal—we offer more rewards, let you earn miles that are way more valuable than standard cash back, and don't force you to use a certain credit card for payment.

Let's talk about how to use Rove to earn miles, how to redeem the rewards you've earned, and how Rove compares to the competition.

What is Rove?

In short: Rove is a combination of all your favorite online shopping portals. With Rove, you can:

• Book hotels: Earn up to 25x Rove Miles per $1 spent when booking hotels.
• Book flights: Earn between 1x and 10x Rove miles per $1 spent when booking flights.
• Go shopping: Rove has a shopping portal and a Chrome extension that lets you earn miles on every purchase. Rates vary by vendor.

If you're someone who's ever used Rakuten, AAdvantage Shopping, TopCashBack or Honey for your online shopping, Rove will be pretty familiar to you.

The same is true if you've used Expedia, Priceline, Hotels.com or a credit card travel portal (such as Capital One or American Express) to book travel.

How to Earn Rove Miles

Rove is simple to use for both shopping and travel. Before getting started, you'll first want to create an account. The button to do so can be found on Rove's home page.

From here you can scroll through different types of hotel stays, check out top deals for earning miles, and also perform a classic search.

Let's say you'd like to stay three night in Paris in mid-December. You'll type that information into the search bar, then hit the Search button.

You'll be taken to the search results page, which offers a variety of filters, including:

• Hotel name

• Property types

There are also a number of ways you can sort the results you receive, including:

Once you've found a hotel that you like, you simply click on it and complete the checkout process. It's that simple!

Booking Flights With Rove

Rove isn't just good at booking hotels. It has an excellent tool for searching for flights as well as booking them. You'll first want to select the Flights tab up top, which will take you to the flights search page.

From here, you can explore flights from your home airport using both cash and miles.

If you have a specific flight in mind, you can search up top on the search bar.

You'll then be presented with the search results, which will show you all the available flights to your destination.

Filters for your search include:

• Number of stops
• Airline
• Flight times

Plus, you can sort by either the cheapest or the fastest flights.

Online Shopping

Another excellent way to earn Rove Miles is via your online shopping. To get started, you'll first want to head over to the Shopping section at the top of Rove's homepage.

From here, you can view a variety of featured stores or type in the one that you're searching for. It's free to use and earnings are tracked automatically once you've clicked on a store.

If you'd rather not fuss with the website, you can also choose to install the Rove shopping extension on Chrome. Once installed, it'll automatically track and offer you the ability to activate earnings when you visit a website.

How to Redeem Rove Miles

Redeeming Rove Miles is where the fun's at. At any time, you'll be able see the balance of your account in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

There are two main ways to redeem Rove Miles for travel. The first is by booking travel through Rove's platform. It looks a lot like earning miles, which makes it super intuitive.

Redeeming Rove Miles For Hotels

If you'd like to use your Rove Miles for hotels, you'll complete your hotel search in the same way as if you were booking cash.

Rove shows a handy slider bar in its search results, letting you know the exact value you're getting when redeeming your points. It helps to make sure you're getting the best bang for your buck.

When you select a hotel, instead of choosing to pay cash, you select Rove Miles on the right-hand side.

From there, you'll be taken to the check-out page. You just need to fill in a few details and then that's it!

Redeeming Rove Miles For Flights

The process is pretty similar to booking flights within Rove miles, especially when you're booking directly on Rove's platform. You will want to toggle Miles on the search bar.

Then, you'll want to see which flight works best for you, whether that's by booking with Rove or transferring your miles.

Rove is unique in that it shows you both the cost of your flight when you're booking on Rove's platform (direct booking) and when you'll need to book with a partner (transfer booking).

You can toggle between the search results using the Booking Type filter.

Because Rove shows you both the cost in miles when transferring and when booking direct, you'll be able to easily see which is the better deal.

If you do end up wanting to transfer your miles, Rove will prompt you to double-check award space before doing so.

Once you've verified that the flights are available, you'll then be able to select how many miles you'd like to transfer.

Keep in mind that you must already have an account with the airline to which you're transferring miles or you must create one.

Once you've entered your details, you'll then be asked to review them. After that, your rewards are sent to the airline's loyalty program and you'll need to head to their site to complete the booking.
