🥢 The Lazy Stack That Earned Me 90,000 Miles This Year: Rove Miles + Blue Apron
I earned almost 90,000 miles this year from dinner — and it’s the laziest stack I’ve ever used. If you’ve been around No Point Left Behind for a while, you know I love a good lazy stack — anything that earns points automatically, fits into real life, and doesn’t require spreadsheets or remembering 14 steps. And this year, one stack has quietly become my absolute favorite: Rove Miles + Blue Apron.
Since January, this single routine has earned me almost 90,000 miles, and the bulk of those miles came from dinner. Yes, dinner. I even booked a round‑trip ticket to Iceland thanks to this stack.
Here’s exactly how it works — and why it’s one of the easiest, highest‑earning stacks I’ve ever used.
Some of the credit card links on this page are personal referral links for cards I personally hold and use. If you choose to use one of these links, I may earn points, miles, or a small bonus at no additional cost to you.
I do not use affiliate links for credit cards. Every card mentioned here is one I personally use in my own travel strategy.

🍽️ Why Blue Apron Is Better Without a Subscription Now
Blue Apron used to require a weekly subscription, which meant:
remembering to pick your meals
remembering to skip weeks
remembering to cancel when you’re traveling
If you’re like me, that was a disaster. I’d forget to choose meals, forget to skip weeks, and end up with boxes arriving when I wasn’t even home.
Now? You can pay $9.99/month for access and order whenever you want — no subscription, no weekly commitment, no “oops I forgot to skip” surprises.
It’s flexible, predictable, and perfect for stacking.
✈️ The Rove Miles Multiplier: 25.9 Miles Per Dollar
This is where the magic happens.
Right now, Blue Apron earns 25.9 miles per dollar through Rove Miles.
That means:
a $60 order earns ~1,554 miles
a $100 order earns ~2,590 miles
a month of meals earns thousands
a year earns tens of thousands
This is one of the highest everyday multipliers I’ve ever seen — and it’s been consistent since January.

💳 Step 1: Check CardPointers for Active Offers
Check my card pointers extension before I order
Before I order, I always check CardPointers to see which of my cards have:
dining offers
grocery offers
statement credits
bonus multipliers
This step alone has saved me hundreds this year.
I activate all my credit card offers through CardPointers — it helps me leave no offer behind and makes sure every benefit I already have actually gets used.

🔁 Step 2: Order Meals Through Rove Miles
Each week (and yes, I remember now because the points are so good), I:
Open Rove Miles
Click through to Blue Apron
Order my meals
Pay with the card that has the best offer
Watch the miles roll in
It’s the easiest stack I’ve ever used — and the most productive.

👨👩👦 Step 3: Make It Work for Real Life (Even With Picky Adults)
My boys are grown, but they’re still picky. So sometimes I just order meat add‑ons for them and make the full meal for my husband and me.
It’s flexible enough to work for:
picky eaters
busy schedules
nights you don’t want to cook
nights you do want to cook
weeks you’re traveling
weeks you’re home
And because it’s not a subscription, you only order when you want to.
🚫 Step 4: Reduce DoorDash Spending Without Trying
This stack has quietly replaced most of our DoorDash orders because:
dinner is already planned
ingredients are already in the fridge
meals take 20–30 minutes
we’re earning miles instead of spending extra
It’s a lifestyle upgrade and a points upgrade.
It’s really hard not to make dinner when you don’t have the excuse ‘What should we have tonight?’ Believe me, I’ve tried.
✈️ The Results: Almost 90,000 Miles Since January
Here’s what this stack has earned me so far this year:
~90,000 miles
Hundreds saved through card offers
Less DoorDash
More planned dinners
Zero subscription stress
And all of it came from a routine I’d be doing anyway — feeding my family.
🧠 Why This Stack Is So Powerful
This is the perfect example of what I call a lazy stack:
recurring
automatic
everyday spending

low effort

It’s the kind of stack that makes travel hacking feel easy — because it is easy.
