Redeeming miles with transfer partners
Last updated April 23, 2025
Rove Miles redeem at the best value when you transfer your miles into other airline and hotel loyalty programs—often unlocking much better values than booking through traditional rewards travel portals that offer you a fixed rate of 1 cent per point. Below is an overview of Rove’s current transfer partners, how to use them, and some tips on maximizing your redemptions.
1. Rove’s Current Transfer Partners
Rove Miles supports transfers to:
- Air France-KLM Flying Blue
- Air India Maharaja Club
- Accor Live Limitless (Hotels)
- Aeromexico Rewards
- Cathay Pacific Asia Miles (Coming next month)
- Etihad Guest
- Finnair Plus
- Hainan Airlines Fortune Wings Club
- Vietnam Airlines Lotusmiles
- Qatar Airways Privilege Club
- Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus
- Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
With these partners, you can effectively access flight awards on all three major global airline alliances—Star Alliance, Oneworld, and SkyTeam—plus a robust hotel network via Accor Live Limitless (ALL). ALL's loyalty program provides better rates on top hotels brands around the world, including Raffles, The Savoy, Banyan Tree, The Plaza, Fairmont hotels, and more.
2. How Transfer Partners Work
When you have Rove Miles, you can choose to:
• Book through Rove’s search tool (where we display integrated award availability on some partner airlines and help you transfer), or
• Transfer your Rove Miles to the loyalty program of your choice, and redeem directly on that partner’s website.
The Transfer Process
1. Navigate to “Transfer Miles”
On the Rove website or app, look for the “Transfer Miles” page under the profile icon.
2. Select Your Preferred Partner
From the list of partners, choose where you want to send your Rove Miles (e.g., Flying Blue, Qatar, Accor, etc.).
3. Enter the Number of Miles
Decide how many of your Rove Miles you want to move. Each partner may have different transfer minimums or increments.
4. Confirm & Complete Transfer
Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm the transfer. Transfers can be instant or take a short processing time, depending on the partner.
5. Redeem on the Partner’s Site
Once your loyalty account reflects the newly transferred points or miles, redeem them for flights, hotels, or other travel rewards directly through that program.
3. Transfer Ratios
All programs on Rove transfer at a 1:1 ratio besides Accor Live Limitless.
Accor Live Limitless has a 1.5:1 ratio, which means you’ll need to spend more Rove Miles to get the same number of points in that program. Even so, those programs often offer competitive redemption rates or unique “sweet spot” awards that can make the extra ratio worthwhile.
Final Thoughts
Rove Miles’ transfer partnerships cover 12 loyalty programs, helping you tap into all three major airline alliances plus a hotel chain with global reach. Whether you’re eyeing a high-end hotel stay in Paris, a domestic AA flight booked via Etihad, or a Star Alliance itinerary with Turkish, the ability to transfer Rove Miles broadens your redemption options and can unlock greater value than using one program alone.
In summary:
1. Review your travel needs and potential loyalty programs.
2. Check if direct booking via Rove is available.
3. If not, or if you see a better deal, transfer your Rove Miles at the appropriate ratio (1:1 or 1.5:1).
4. Complete your redemption through the partner’s website.
With a little homework, you can maximize your Rove Miles to cover flights, hotels, and beyond—all while enjoying flexibility and sometimes substantial points savings.
