1. What is Norwegian Reward?
Norwegian Reward is a loyalty program offered by Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA ("Norwegian"). By signing up as a Member of Norwegian Reward you may accrue CashPoints and earn special Rewards by buying tickets from Norwegian or products and services from any of Norwegian Reward's partners ("Partners"). CashPoints earned can be used by Norwegian Reward Members to purchase flight tickets or other related products or services from Norwegian.
For your ease of reference, here is a short explanation of the main features of Norwegian Reward:
- CashPoints: Our digital currency which Members can earn and use by buying tickets and other products and services from Norwegian or other Partners of Norwegian Reward.
- Rewards: Benefits, such as free checked baggage, which Members can earn by being a loyal customer of Norwegian.
- Reward Partner: Other companies that, through an agreement, can offer Norwegian Reward Members an opportunity to earn CashPoints and benefit from special offers. As a Member of Norwegian Reward, you must identify yourself as such when you make purchases with our Reward Partners in order to earn CashPoints.
- Reward Number: As a Reward Member you will be awarded a Reward Number which is used to connect you with the purchases you have made with Norwegian or any of our Partners.
- Family Account: This is a solution that enables Members to collectively earn and use CashPoints in one account.
More information can be found in the Terms and Conditions for Norwegian Reward.
When you become a Member of Norwegian Reward, you will be able to log into your own account on our website and keep track of your registered flights and CashPoints earned. As a Member you will receive status updates and Member offers. Please know that you as a Member can administrate the communication settings on your Reward profile. Our Reward program has a long list of Partners which will enable you to earn CashPoints not only when you buy flight tickets with Norwegian, but also when you shop online, book a hotel or make other purchases.

You may purchase airline tickets and other products and services from Norwegian or buy products or services from our Partners without a Norwegian Reward membership, but you will not be able to earn CashPoints or be eligible for Rewards.
