Rove Miles, the independent points aggregation platform, now lets members transfer balances directly to Air Canada's Aeroplan frequent flyer program at a 1:1 ratio. The move marks the latest expansion for Rove, which operates without affiliation to any single airline, hotel chain, or credit card issuer.
The partnership launches with a 25% bonus on all transfers through the program. Members who convert 10,000 Rove Miles to Aeroplan gain 12,500 Aeroplan points, for example. This incentive runs during the launch window and rewards early adopters testing the new connection.

Users can now browse available Air Canada flights and partner airline redemptions in real time before committing miles to the transfer. This eliminates the friction of converting points, then discovering limited award availability. The search covers Air Canada's extensive Star Alliance network, which includes United Airlines, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, and dozens of other carriers.
Rove has positioned itself as a neutral middleman in the points world. Rather than tying members to single programs, it aggregates rewards from multiple credit cards and sources, then lets users transfer strategically to the airline or hotel offering the best value. Aeroplan joins existing transfer partners in the Rove ecosystem.

The 25% launch bonus essentially gives members a temporary arbitrage opportunity, converting lower-value points into potentially high-value airline miles.
The integration reflects broader industry trends. Loyalty programs increasingly recognize that portability drives engagement. Members with stuck points in underutilized programs abandon those accounts. By enabling transfers to strong
