Rove Transfer Partners, Explained

By Bryce Casson, Founder · Cardocrat · Updated October 2026
The short answer: Rove Miles transfer 1:1 to 21 partners, 20 airlines plus the Accor hotel program (Accor at 1.5:1). Seven are programs no other major U.S. transferable currency offers, such as Lufthansa Miles and More, SAS EuroBonus, Vietnam Airlines, Air India, and Copa, while shared partners such as Flying Blue, Virgin Atlantic, and Turkish overlap with bank points so you can pool the two.

The partner lineup

Rove transfers to 21 programs: 20 airlines covering Star Alliance, Oneworld, and SkyTeam, plus the Accor hotel program. The newest is Copa ConnectMiles, added September 1, 2026. All move 1:1 except Accor at 1.5:1, with a 2,000-mile minimum and 100-mile increments. That breadth lets Rove Miles book awards across essentially any alliance, the same flexibility that makes bank points valuable. See transferable points.

The partners you cannot reach elsewhere

The Rove edge is access. It partners with seven programs that no other major U.S. transferable currency offers: Lufthansa Miles and More, SAS EuroBonus, Vietnam Airlines LotusMiles, Air India Maharaja Club, Hainan Airlines, Copa ConnectMiles, and Frontier Miles. These open options, like Lufthansa premium cabins booked through Miles and More, that are otherwise hard to book from U.S. points. Join free through Rove to reach them.

The partners that overlap with bank points

Most Rove partners are also bank transfer partners, which is where pooling happens. Flying Blue and Virgin Atlantic are shared with all six major issuers: Chase, Amex, Capital One, Citi, Bilt, and Wells Fargo. Turkish, Etihad, Qatar, Cathay Pacific, and Japan Airlines are each shared with Citi, Capital One, and Bilt, among others, and the Accor hotel program is shared with Bilt, Capital One, and Citi. Capital One overlaps the most, with 12 of the 21 Rove partners, while Chase shares only 3. For those, you can combine Rove Miles with your bank points in one account to reach an award. Lufthansa Miles and More, by contrast, is reachable from no U.S. card at all, so there Rove is your only route rather than an overlap, one of its biggest draws. Confirm the current partner list before you plan, since programs add and drop partners. See airline sweet spots.
