Rove Miles Offers Up to 5,000 Bonus Miles on Hotel Bookings Today Only — Plus Bigger Portal Rewards for Black Friday

Rove Miles has first-time hotel booking bonuses, today only.

• Spend $100, get 500 bonus miles with code BLACKFRIDAY100
  
• Spend $500, get 2,500 bonus miles with code BLACKFRIDAY500
  
• Spend $1,000, get 5,000 bonus miles with code BLACKFRIDAY1000

In addition, earn 10 Rove Miles per dollar in addition to hotel loyalty program points, status credits and status benefits on stays with their loyalty-eligible rates (normally 5 points per dollar). I walked through their new opportunity to stack rewards last month.

Always check hotel pricing against what you can get elsewhere. Sometimes it’ll be a lower rate plus the points, but sometimes they show a higher rate (and higher rewards as well).

Rove is also offering double miles through their shopping portal:

Nike, Macy’s, Sephora, Ulta, Adidas, Kohl’s, Saks 5th, Saks Off 5th, Staples, Home Depot, Dell, StubHub, Walgreens, Newegg, Sony, Staples, Dyson, Groupon, Best Buy, British Airways, Buying Hyatt points, Temu, Shein, Chewy, Viator, Converse, Kate Spade, Getyourguide, Ticketmaster, Caesars, MSC cruises, Princess Cruises, Airalo, Eatwith, and Luxury Escapes.

Plus, 5x on airline, Airbnb, and hotel gift cards from giftcards.com and 4x on Visa and Mastercard gift cards from giftcards.com, and 3x on flights booked through Rove which is great because you’re still earning airline miles and status.

Rove’s miles can be redeemed directly for travel through their portal, or transferred to a variety of loyalty programs.

• Star Alliance: Air India Maharaja Club, Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus, Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles, Lufthansa Miles & More
  
• oneworld: Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, Finnair Plus, Qatar Airways Privilege Club
  
• SkyTeam: Air France-KLM Flying Blue, Vietnam Airlines Lotusmiles, Aeromexico Rewards
  
• Non-alliance: Etihad Guest, Hainan Airlines Fortune Wings Club
  
• Hotel: Accor Live Limitless

They’re the only one that transfers to Lufthansa (great for better inventory in business class and earlier inventory for first class); Air India has United awards from 3,500 points in coach and 7,500 in first class; and my go-to would be Finnair or Qatar Avios (which tranfer to BA as well) plus Air France KLM.

This program has been super-rewarding – overindexed, in a way – and they need to be. They don’t have an installed user base. They’re growing from zero, without being attached to any travel brand. So the only reason customers will book through them is if they give the customer more value than other programs. So definitely check what they’re offering. I’m finding myself using their shopping portal more and more (along with Rakuten’s, now that their points tranfser to Bilt).

I wouldn’t go making purchases you aren’t otherwise going to make, but moving purchases that you need to make anyway to today in order to take advantage of some of these deals can make a lot of sense.
