Editor's note: Since writing this post, the original author has started a role at Rove.<\/em><\/p>\n

We've all heard of American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One miles, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou Rewards, Wells Fargo Rewards, and Bilt Rewards. These huge programs are mostly bank-driven and offer credit cards that pair with their flexible point currencies. And we love them. Creating a wide variety of partnerships for transfers means that us users can get the best value from all the points we earn.<\/p>\n

But it's challenging to create a new transferable currency, which is why we're so intrigued by Rove. Launched in April 2025, Rove boasts itself as “the first universal airline mile.” But does it hold up? Let's take a look at Rove, how it works, the rewards it earns, and whether it's worth the investment.<\/p>\n

What Is Rove?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Unlike programs such as Amex Membership Rewards<\/a> and Chase Ultimate Rewards<\/a>, Rove isn't tied to a bank or loyalty program. Instead, it relies on a travel portal and a shopping portal to allow users to earn Rove Miles — which are currently transferable to 18 hotel and airline partners.<\/p>\n

Its closest competitor is Bilt Rewards<\/a>, whose program allows you to earn rewards without needing to sign up for a credit card<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Using its travel portal, you can book both flights and hotels. This is similar to what you'll find with Capital One Travel<\/a> or Expedia<\/a>, both of which allow you to earn rewards on your bookings.<\/p>\n

Its shopping portal<\/a>, meanwhile, has both a Chrome extension and a website link, much like you'll find with sites like Rakuten<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So what's the big deal? How is Rove different from the competition \u2014 and how does it expect to stick around?<\/p>\n

How to Earn Rove Miles<\/span><\/h2>\n

Rove's biggest differentiator is the sheer number\u00a0<\/em>of miles you can earn on bookings. According to Max Morganroth, co-founder and CEO of Rove, “While platforms can\u2019t publicly undercut the rates each individual hotel sells their rooms for, we can charge you the same rate as the hotel and give our entire commission back in the form of miles. When you're using the miles, we give you a discount as this restriction applies only to cash.”<\/p>\n

According to Rove, you can earn rewards at the following rates:<\/p>\n
