TODAY IS CYBER MONDAY!

Before you check out: 1) Click the shopping portal link. 2) Use your top card for this merchant/category. 3) Activate any short-term offer on your card. Do all three and you’re multiplying instead of just spending.

Use Save Wise to check on merchant bonus history, set alters for when to buy, and ensure you have all your credit card offers activated!

Use CardPointers to get your credit cards organized and to ensure you are paying with the best card at every store!

If history is any indicator, today might be the best points earning day of the year.

INDUSTRY CHECK IN While you’re focusing on stacking the immediate multipliers (shopping portals and Cyber Monday deals) let's keep in mind the broader landscape:

• Reward multipliers remain strong but many cards include hidden caps or thresholds. As we reach year end make sure you haven't reached your caps.

• The legislative and business side is under pressure. If laws push issuers to reduce swipe-fee-based income, reward offers may shift.

• We are watching out for the emerging “upper-middle” credit-card tier. These may offer good value but operate with different multiplier mechanics than the top-tier ultra-premium cards.

✈️ Introducing Rove Miles: A Powerful Tool for Travelers

Rove is the newest earning platform making waves in the travel-hacking space and it’s especially valuable for travelers who want to turn cash hotel bookings into free flights, elite status, and high-value award redemptions.

Here’s everything you need to know before you dive in.

🌍 What Are Rove Miles?

Rove Miles are a transferable rewards currency from the Rove travel program.

No credit card required - anyone can earn.

You can earn Rove Miles through:

• Their hotel booking portal

• Their shopping portal (with caveats — more on that below)

• Their flight booking portal (1-10x)

And you can redeem those miles for free or discounted travel, similar to Chase or Amex transferable currencies.

For years, our members have relied on deals, multipliers, and smart redemptions to travel for pennies on the dollar. Rove adds another way to amplify your results, especially when you’re making cash hotel bookings.

Here’s why it’s worth paying attention:

• OTA-style multipliers are large - often 10x to 95x+.

• Loyalty Eligible bookings earn 5x Rove Miles, elite nights, and status perks.

• Points post instantly after non-refundable bookings.

• Transfers to most partners are instant.

• You can transfer points free and unlimited between Rove members.

🔥 Powerhouse Transfer Partners

Rove’s partner list includes some of the strongest airline and hotel programs:

• Flying Blue (Air France / KLM)

• Avios (Finnair, Iberia, Qatar, British Airways, etc.)

• Cathay Pacific Asia Miles

• Etihad Guest

• Turkish Miles & Smiles

• Miles & More (Lufthansa group) — exclusive!

• Hainan, Thai Airways, Vietnam Airlines, and more

And yes… transfer bonuses appear regularly.

(As of 12/01/25: 20% bonus to Finnair.)

⚠️ Read This Before Booking

Rove is powerful — but it is NOT perfect.

Expect:

• Site timeouts

• Error messages

• Room rate fluctuations

• Inconsistent room descriptions

• Higher cash prices vs other OTAs (sometimes)

• A glitchy shopping portal with a high failure rate

Rule of thumb:
✔️ Use Rove ONLY for hotel bookings (for now).
✔️ Compare prices and calculate the value of the miles earned. 💡TIP: Use the Bonus Multipliers Calculator in the Bonus Resources of your Earning Multipliers Curriculum to do the math for you!

🧠 Rove Strategies You Should Use

1. Book a cash hotel stay → use the miles to book flights.

2. Book Loyalty Eligible stays and stack EVERYTHING.

You can earn simultaneously:

• 5x Rove (look for promos when this is higher)

• Credit card points

• Hotel loyalty points

• Elite nights

• Status perks

  This is the “super stack” that’s currently unmatched anywhere else.
