Norwegian Reward, the loyalty program of Norwegian, is adding a new car rental partner, Avis Car Rental. The new partnership will allow reward members to earn points towards cheaper and free Norwegian flights when booking car rental at destinations around the world online.
Norwegian Reward makes it easier for its members to earn cheaper or free flights for everyday consumers. Members receive CashPoints, valued approximately 10 to 1 pound ($1.28), which can be earned by booking Norwegian flights and purchasing products and services with its growing list of partners. CashPoints can then be spent toward the cost of Norwegian flights, including all flight extras and taxes.
From today, Norwegian Reward members can earn up to 10% CashPoints and up to a 15% discount when booking car hire with Avis. Members can also add an additional driver for free.
