How to maximize earning
Last updated April 23, 2025
Earning Rove Miles is simple, but optimizing your accrual strategy can help you earn miles faster and get the most value from your purchases. Whether you're using the Rove Shopping extension or booking hotels through Rove, here are the best ways to maximize your earnings.
1. Use the Rove Shopping Extension for Everyday Purchases
The Rove Shopping Extension allows you to earn miles on your everyday online shopping. To maximize your earnings:
- Activate Offers Before You Shop – Always ensure the extension is active and the offer is clicked before making a purchase.
- Compare Merchant Offers – Some merchants offer higher mile-per-dollar rates than others. Checking different retailers can help you earn more.
- Look for Special Promotions – Keep an eye out for limited-time promotions where select retailers offer bonus miles.
2. Book Hotels Through Rove for Maximum Earnings
Hotel bookings offer some of the highest Rove Miles earning rates, with up to 25x miles per dollar spent. To maximize your hotel earnings:
- Check Earning Rates Before Booking – Different hotels offer different mile-per-dollar rates. Always review the rate before confirming your stay.
- Book Directly Through Rove – Only bookings made through the Rove platform qualify for Rove Miles.
- Choose Longer or Premium Stays – Since miles are earned per dollar spent, luxury and extended stays can significantly increase your mileage balance—often enough to fly business/first class completely for free.
- Combine with Promotions – Look out for Rove’s special hotel promotions that offer additional bonus miles.
3. Take Advantage of Bonus Promotions
Throughout the year, Rove offers special promotions across both accrual methods. These can include:
- Increased Shopping Multipliers – Some merchants may temporarily offer double or triple miles per dollar.
- Hotel Booking Bonuses – Special deals where booking specific properties or stays within a timeframe will yield extra miles.
4. Utilize Transfer Bonuses for Better Value
Many airline and hotel partners periodically offer transfer bonuses, which can increase the value of your Rove Miles. For example, a transfer partner may offer a 25% bonus when transferring Rove Miles, effectively reducing the cost of award flights.
- Monitor Transfer Offers – Stay updated on transfer promotions from airline and hotel partners.
- Time Your Booking Strategically – If a transfer bonus is available, you can save miles by waiting for the right time to transfer.
- Compare Redemption Options – A transfer bonus may make one partner more valuable than another for the same flight or hotel stay.
5. Plan Your Spending Strategically
To optimize your earnings:
- Consolidate Major Purchases – If you have large purchases coming up (electronics, furniture, gifts), plan to buy them through Rove’s shopping extension when bonus offers are available.
- Book Travel in Advance – Hotel prices fluctuate, and early booking can help you lock in high earning rates.
- Track Your Earnings – Regularly check your Rove Miles balance and review pending miles to ensure all transactions are properly credited.
Final Thoughts
By following these strategies, you can maximize your Rove Miles earnings through both the Shopping Extension and hotel bookings. Additionally, taking advantage of transfer bonuses can significantly increase the value of your miles, making it easier to unlock high-value redemptions.
