The Rove Miles platform allows members to double-dip at “Loyalty Eligible” properties, where you can earn hotel points and elite status benefits on top of Rove miles. You can even earn bonus miles by paying with a cobranded hotel credit card … at least, in theory.<\/p>\n

I was excited at the prospect of stacking rewards<\/a> but also skeptical that it would be as easy as Rove Miles made it sound. So, I booked a cheap two-night stay at a property near my home to see how well Rove’s Loyalty Eligible bookings really worked.<\/p>\n

Here’s how my experience went.<\/p>\n

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to double-dip hotel rewards with Rove Miles. In fact, the hardest part was the booking process.<\/p>\n

Rove’s website can be slow, finicky and hard on the eyes. The “around your area” search location tool doesn’t work very well (it put me over 25 miles south of my location), and some hotels didn’t appear in my search results because Rove’s map has very narrow city limits. But once I expanded the map view, I found the hotel I wanted.<\/p>\n

Additionally, applicable properties don’t always show up when you filter for “Loyalty Eligible.” I had to remove the filter and click into my desired hotel to see both standard and Loyalty Eligible rates.<\/p>\n

While the cost per night looked slightly different depending on whether I earned World of Hyatt<\/a> points, the total for my two-night stay was the same.<\/p>\n

Another odd quirk: Supposedly, the Loyalty Eligible rate only covers the room, with no complimentary breakfast amenity, but this hotel provides a free buffet breakfast for all guests.<\/p>\n

I checked Hyatt’s website to see how Rove’s rates compared. The cash price on Rove Miles was about $23 cheaper in total than on Hyatt, but this may be because Rove’s booking was nonrefundable while Hyatt had a flexible cancellation policy. (Rove Miles only offered nonrefundable rates for my stay, likely because I booked it a day before checking in. When I looked at rates for the same property further out, I saw both nonrefundable and flexible rates.)<\/p>\n

With the Loyalty Eligible option, I could earn 5 Rove miles per dollar spent on the stay, plus World of Hyatt points and elite night credits. However, I could have earned 13 Rove miles per dollar spent if I had opted to book Rove’s rate and forgo my Hyatt earnings.<\/p>\n

On the booking page, I entered my World of Hyatt membership number under “Guest Details” and paid with my World of Hyatt Credit Card<\/a><\/span> (see rates and fees<\/a>). The blue font confirmed that I would earn both Rove miles and Hyatt points.<\/p>\n

Within an hour, the reservation appeared in both my Rove and Hyatt accounts.<\/p>\n

Check-in experience<\/h2>\n

The day after making my booking, my 1,266 Rove miles showed as pending in my Rove account. But what about my World of Hyatt rewards and perks?<\/p>\n

When I checked in and showed my ID, the Hyatt front desk found my reservation easily. No need for me to present a confirmation number or email, which has sometimes happened when I’ve booked stays through portals like Capital One Travel<\/a> and Chase Travel\u2120<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The staffer didn’t mention my Discoverist elite status<\/a> (which I get for free as a World of Hyatt cardholder), but when I asked, they saw my status on my account and offered me my Discoverist benefits like free bottled water and 2 p.m. late checkout.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the staffer confirmed that I could, indeed, partake in the free daily buffet breakfast.<\/p>\n

\n

The staffer asked for a credit card to cover incidentals during my stay. I realized I had forgotten my World of Hyatt card<\/a>, so I asked if there was one already associated with the reservation, and she was able to pull it up.<\/p>\n

I had booked an accessible room because that was what Rove Miles had available. The staffer asked if I needed this type of room, and when I said no, she switched me to a regular room. My room was ready to go when I headed upstairs with my keycard around 3:15 p.m.<\/p>\n

Later, I ordered churros ($5) from the hotel restaurant and charged them to my room \u2014 for testing purposes, of course.<\/p>\n

Double-dipping rewards<\/h2>\n

Now, let’s get to the fun part: maximizing my rewards.<\/p>\n

After checking out, I waited for my Hyatt points and elite night credits to hit my account. They arrived a few days later.<\/p>\n

Then, I checked my credit card statement. As promised, the purchase (including my churros) coded as “Hyatt Place,” and I had earned bonus points accordingly.<\/p>\n
