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 uses an unusual non-traditional tier structure: instead of elite levels, members unlock a new benefit every 8 flights within a rolling 12-month window. At 32 flights you reach Reward Priority - which adds 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 cheat sheet.
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, AF Flying Blue) or Star Alliance (United, SAS Eurobonus) miles instead.

- 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 (SkyTeam Flying Blue Promo Rewards, Star Alliance partners on SAS).

The high-leverage moves. Read this before you transfer a single mile.
The smart-money plays.
- CashPoints redeem at NOK 1:1 against any Norwegian / Wideroe ticket - simple, predictable, and never aspirational.
- No partner award redemption - CashPoints work only on Norwegian or Wideroe metal.
- The math is essentially a cashback rebate - useful only if you regularly fly Norwegian.
- Reward Priority (32 flights / 12 months) keeps CashPoints from expiring - the only meaningful protection from expiry.
- For US-Scandinavia travel, route via SkyTeam (Delta, KLM, AF) or Star (United, SAS Eurobonus) instead.
