What is Rove?
Rove is a revolutionary travel rewards platform that allows you to earn airline miles from everyday shopping — all without needing a credit card. By simply using their Chrome extension, users can rack up flight miles from purchases at over 7,000 online stores and hotel booking sites.
In a world where traditional rewards programs are tied to financial institutions, Rove makes travel hacking easy, free, and accessible — especially for Gen Z.
Who Founded Rove?
Rove was founded by two young visionaries:
A 22-year-old Wharton graduate
A Harvard dropout with a big dream
Their goal? Help millions of people fly for free — especially younger generations who are new to travel rewards or don’t qualify for traditional travel credit cards.
The Global Inspiration Behind Rove
The idea behind Rove was inspired by Asia Miles — a Hong Kong-based loyalty program where people earn flight miles through everyday purchases.
Rove takes that idea and supercharges it for a global audience. It acts as a “universal” travel rewards platform, making it easier than ever to earn and use miles across major international airlines.
How Rove Works
Rove is incredibly simple to use. Here’s how it works:
Install the Chrome Extension – This plugin automatically tracks when you shop at partnered stores.
Shop as Usual – Make purchases from 7,000+ online merchants.
Book Hotels Through Rove – Some deals give back up to 40% of the value as airline miles.
Combine Your Miles – Rove lets you merge miles earned from shopping, hotel bookings, and even eligible credit cards.
No spreadsheets, no complex terms. Just shop and fly.
Airline Partners and Travel Benefits
Rove has already partnered with 11 major airlines, including:
Qatar Airways
Air France-KLM
Finnair
And more...
That means you can redeem your miles for international flights, business class upgrades, or even multi-airline routes.
Why Gen Z Loves Rove
Gen Z is budget-conscious but loves to travel. Rove gives them a barrier-free entry into travel hacking — no credit check, no fees, no gimmicks.
Key reasons Gen Z is excited about Rove:
No need to sign up for a travel credit card
Rewards come from things they already do (online shopping, booking hotels)
It’s tech-forward, easy to use, and fits their lifestyle
Who Is Backing Rove?
Rove isn’t just a smart idea — it has serious backing:
Part of Y Combinator’s Winter 2024 batch
Raised $2 million from top investors like:

That’s a strong sign that Rove is here to stay — and ready to scale fast.
