Breeze, a low-cost carrier founded in 2021, believes it can attract a steadfast customer base to its loyalty program with the release of its co-branded credit card.

Breeze Airways announced Tuesday it would launch a co-branded credit card and a re-branded loyalty program, an ambitious step for the young low-cost carrier. 

The co-branded credit card, in partnership with Barclays, will allow customers to earn 10 times the points for airfare, checked baggage, premium seating and inflight snacks and beverages. Other perks include complimentary Wi-Fi on board, and the ability to earn points on Breeze’s loyalty program through groceries and dining at restaurants. 

The credit card has an $89 annual fee and offers customers 50,000 BreezePoints when they spend $2,000 in the first 90 days of opening the account. Credit cardholders will also receive priority boarding for Breeze flights. 

Breeze’s loyalty program will be known as “Breezy Rewards” instead of “BreezePoints.”
