News and notes from around the interweb:

• The CEO of Rove offers this update and context of the value they offer when you book hotels with them. And there’s a promo code for 10,000 bonus miles on your first booking.

  You can get up to 25x miles at a bunch of hotels without needing a card, while the next best giving a flexible currency is 10x requiring a high [annual fee].

  That, combined with the fact that you get the miles instantly when the stay is nonrefundable, means you can often cover your flight for free with your hotel stay. Attaching an email from a customer who did this and got 3 free biz class tickets on [Turkish] for 255k miles within 2 weeks of our launch (for about $10k hotel spend). The flights he received were likely worth more than he spent on the hotel. The amount you’d have to spend with any other program to get that is much much higher.

  Also attaching an example where we were cheaper than the hotel and offered a great rate for earn and redeem. Price matching the hotel hasn’t been implemented yet, meaning there’s some sweet spots like this (and other cases where we end up more expensive, which will also disappear soon, but the miles you get are worth multiples more). TLDR is hotels have a certain number of rooms we get a crazy low rate on, just like award seats on a plane, and we provide the best possible value until these sell out, after which we are still very competitive.
