The new loyalty perk that means you can turn everyday spending into free flights with Norwegian Airways
The low-cost airline has extended its loyalty scheme to allow passengers to earn points to spend on free flights when they shop at thousands of retailers
NORWEGIAN Airways has launched a new scheme for passengers to turn everyday spending into free flights and perks.
Its works exactly like a cashback website where shoppers are given money back on purchases they make online and includes big retailers like ASOS, John Lewis, M&S and Argos.
From tomorrow, passengers can make purchases through Norwegian’s online shop and then turn these points into free flights, free baggage on flights or seat reservations.
The amount of points customers earn for spending the online shop varies depending on the brand and the amount being spent.

The bigger the purchase the more points customers get and each point is worth 10p.
For example, a customer taking out a 24 month O2 mobile monthly contract could earn up to 535 CashPoints – worth around £50 – enough for a one-way flight and checked bag to most European destinations with Norwegian.
The new addition to Norwegian’s loyalty scheme is similar to Avios where customers can also earn points for spending online.
The quickest way to benefit from the reward scheme is by booking flights with the low-cost airline.
In fact, for every six flights (or three return flights) you’ll get a free “reward”.
IS THE NORWEGIAN REWARDS SCHEME ANY GOOD?
IT could be a good way for passengers to bag perks and flights, as long as they don’t spend more than they originally planned.
The more expensive the purchase the more points you’ll get, so think carefully before splashing out.
Compare prices on cashback websites or comparison websites before making a purchase make sure you’re getting the best deal.
Also, remember you’ll need to click through the link on the Norwegian e-shop to earn the points.
This could be a free seat reservation or baggage-fee waiver and this is valid for 12 months.
Brede Huser, senior vice president at Norwegian Reward said: “Norwegian Reward is quickly growing its partner network in the UK to give more choices to our members and to make their money travel further when flying with Norwegian.”
