Pegasus BolBol

IndependentHUBSSAW · AYT · ESBLast reviewed May 2026

Pegasus BolBol is the loyalty program of Pegasus Airlines, the Esas Holding (Sabanci family) Turkish ULCC publicly traded on Borsa Istanbul (PGSUS). CEO Guliz Ozturk leads roughly 30 million annual passengers on a 100-110+ aircraft fleet (A320neo, A321neo, 737-800), primarily out of SAW (Istanbul-Sabiha Gokcen) with AYT (Antalya) and ESB (Ankara) as focus cities. Pegasus was founded as a charter operation in 1990, relaunched as an LCC in 2005, and IPO'd in 2013. Routes span Europe, Turkey domestic, the Middle East, Central Asia and the Caucasus, and North Africa.

For US travelers BolBol is hard to access. No major US flexible currency transfers in - not Amex MR, Chase UR, Capital One, Citi, Bilt, Wells Fargo, or Marriott. The only practical funding paths are flying Pegasus or holding ING Turkey co-branded cards (Premium or Classic). The program is more flexible than a traditional FFP - call it a hybrid points-and-coalition program with mobile-app gamification (yes, weekly BolPoints for finding hidden objects in the app, which is unusual). The published award chart is simple: domestic winter one-way 10,000 BolPoints, summer 15,000; international winter one-way 25,000, summer 30,000. Minimum 2,000 BolPoints to redeem for a ticket and 500 for ancillaries. For US flyers the practical takeaway: Pegasus paid fares are typically very cheap, so cash often beats points unless you are already accruing through ING Turkey or routine Pegasus flying.
