Rove Transfer Partners, Explained
The partner lineup
Rove transfers to roughly 18 airline and hotel programs covering Star Alliance, Oneworld, and SkyTeam, plus the Accor hotel program. 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 programs that major U.S. cards rarely or never offer, including Lufthansa Miles and More, SAS EuroBonus, Japan Airlines Mileage Bank, Vietnam Airlines LotusMiles, and Air India Maharaja Club. These open sweet spots, like Japan Airlines first class or Lufthansa business, that are otherwise hard to book from U.S. points. Join free through Rove to reach them.
The partners that overlap with bank points
Some Rove partners are also bank transfer partners, which is where pooling happens. Turkish Miles and Smiles is shared by Rove, Citi, Capital One, and Bilt, and the Accor hotel program is shared by Rove and Bilt. 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.
