Can I use Norwegian CashPoints to pay for bags and seats?

Yes. CashPoints can pay for a Norwegian flight and for extras you add to a booking, including extra baggage, seat reservations, cancellation insurance and booking changes. You can use CashPoints for all or part of the eligible cost, and taxes and some surcharges still require payment.

How many flights do I need for each Norwegian Reward level?

You move up one level for every 8 flights within 12 months: Traveller at 8, Bronze at 16, Silver at 24 and Gold at 32. A flight with a stopover counts as two flights. Flights on Wideroe count too, except government subsidized routes.

What is a Norwegian CashPoint worth?

One CashPoint is worth 1 Norwegian krone (NOK), converted at the current exchange rate. Members outside the Nordics earn CashPoints, while members in the Nordics earn Spenn by default.

What do I get when I reach Norwegian Reward Traveller?

You earn 2% extra CashPoints on flight tickets, and Traveller is the first level that comes with a benefit. At Bronze and Silver you choose more benefits, and extra CashPoints can be chosen up to 3 times for 6% extra in total.

Redeems on:Norwegian Reward CashPoints

Norwegian Reward is the loyalty program of Norwegian Air Shuttle, the Scandinavian short-haul carrier with roughly 80 737-800 / MAX aircraft based at OSL (Oslo), CPH (Copenhagen), and ARN (Stockholm). Norwegian successfully exited examinership and CashPoints earning and redemption are fully restored. The long-haul 787 fleet was retired during 2020-2021, and Norwegian no longer flies to the US. Norwegian co-owns Wideroe (a Norwegian regional carrier) for joint earning.

The defining feature: CashPoints is a cashback-model currency, not a traditional FFP. CashPoints redeem at NOK 1:1 (roughly USD 0.10) against the live cash price of any Norwegian or Wideroe ticket - no award chart, no blackout dates, no peak/off-peak, no partner award redemption. Earning is a percentage of the fare paid (excluding taxes), with LowFare, LowFare Plus, and Flex earning progressively higher percentages. Norwegian Reward has a five level status ladder: Member, Traveller, Bronze, Silver and Gold. You move up a level for every eight qualifying flights within 12 months, so Traveller is 8 flights, Bronze 16, Silver 24 and Gold 32. At Bronze and Silver you choose your own benefits, and Gold gets all of them plus a free hot drink, priority boarding, free seat selection, priority customer service, no CashPoints expiry and Avis President's Club status. There is no current US-issued co-brand (the BoA-issued Norwegian Reward Credit Card was discontinued); current cards are Nordic-issued. For US readers based in or extensively traveling Scandinavia, CashPoints is a predictable but unexceptional tool - cash often beats it.

Award chart

The actual numbers. Get your nerd on, memorize the cheap ones.

The cheat sheet.

See the rates →

Norwegian Reward has no award chart in the traditional sense - CashPoints redeem 1:1 against the live cash price of any Norwegian or Wideroe ticket (1 CashPoint = 1 NOK off the fare). There is no peak/off-peak structure, no minimum redemption threshold beyond standard ticketing minimums, no blackout dates, and no partner award redemption.

The practical implication for US readers: there are no sweet spots to learn. The math is a flat rebate. Useful only if you regularly fly Norwegian or Wideroe and accumulate CashPoints faster than you can spend them. For US-Scandinavia travel, redeem SkyTeam (Delta, KLM, Air France Flying Blue, SAS EuroBonus) or Star Alliance (United) miles instead.

Sweet spots

Where your points punch above their weight.

Where this currency genuinely shines.

Show me the picks →

Minimal direct US-flyer relevance - Norwegian no longer operates US routes.
Predictable cash-style rebate on intra-Europe Norwegian metal for connecting US flyers based in OSL/CPH/ARN.
No sweet spots, no aspirational redemption - 1:1 NOK = 1:1 NOK, every time.
For premium-cabin Europe redemption, look elsewhere (Flying Blue or SAS EuroBonus on SkyTeam, United on Star Alliance).
