How to Use Rove Miles for Hotels
Earning on hotel stays
The strongest Rove hotel play is on the earn side. Booking a cash hotel stay through Rove can earn up to 25x Rove Miles, and because you pay with your own card, the same charge also earns your card rewards. Use a card that bonuses travel or hotels and you stack twice on one booking. The tradeoff is that a third-party booking may not earn the hotel own points or elite-night credit, so weigh it against booking direct when you are chasing status. See stacking Rove with card rewards.
Redeeming through Accor
On the redeem side, Rove Miles transfer to Accor Live Limitless, the group behind brands like Sofitel, Fairmont, and Novotel. The ratio is 1.5 to 1, less favorable than the 1 to 1 airline transfers, so Accor is best when you have a specific stay in mind. Accor is also a Bilt transfer partner, so if you collect Bilt points you can combine the two in one Accor account, the one clear hotel pooling overlap. See pooling points.
Pairing Rove with a hotel card
Rove sits neatly beside a hotel credit card. Keep using your hotel card free-night certificate and elite benefits for direct stays where status matters, and turn to Rove for cash bookings at independent hotels or chains where you would earn little anyway. That way you capture Rove Miles plus card rewards on throwaway stays and protect your status on the ones that count. Join free through Rove. See booking hotels with points.
Stop guessing at point values. Look up the real award price and live availability for a specific trip before you transfer.
