Breeze Easy Visa Signature Card
Breeze Airways and Barclays US Consumer Bank today announced the debut of the Breeze Easy™ Visa Signature® credit card.
Breeze’s first co-branded credit card comes less than three years after the airline’s launch and offers up to 10X BreezePoints for Breeze purchases including airfare and trip add-ons, such as premium seating, additional checked bags and even inflight snacks and beverages. Other benefits include complimentary inflight Wi-Fi on Breeze’s Airbus fleet, priority boarding and accelerated earn on a wide range of everyday purchases, including grocery stores and restaurants. There’s also an introductory sign-up bonus valued at $500.
And there are some other changes as well. Breeze is rebranding its loyalty program, and also introducing a new fare class. Let’s check out all the details below.

New Loyalty Program
In tandem with the debut of the Breeze Easy Visa, the airline also announced the launch of its new loyalty program. Dubbed Breezy Rewards™, the program gives members the ability to earn BreezePoints for all Breeze purchases and access other benefits such as no change or cancel fees, seamless booking and flight management tools, and Free Family seating.
BreezePoints were initially introduced when the airline launched in 2021. By rebranding the guest rewards program as Breezy Rewards, Breeze is bringing to life the benefits of being a Breeze Easy Visa cardmember.
New No-Flex Fare & More
Breeze also introduced a new ‘fare-only’ option for travelers who desire the most basic experience. With the No Flex Fare, flight changes are not permitted but partial credit is issued for cancellations. Guests earn 1X BreezePoints and have up to 24-months to rebook using their remaining credit without an additional fee or penalty.
As part of this change, Breeze also enhanced its Nice bundle to include a carry-on bag and added complimentary WiFi to both its Nicer and Nicest bundles.
Guru’s Wrap-up
That’s some humdrum. The card doesn’t offer much in terms of benefits and the Anniversary Bonus and One-Way Bundle Upgrade requires substantial spending that are not worth chasing in my opinion. It could be worth getting for the signup bonus, but not to keep long term. And even that bonus is not very enticing considering that you have to pay $89.
