VivaAerobus VivaFan is the paid annual discount club of VivaAerobus, Mexico's largest ULCC by passenger count (roughly 25 million per year, parent IAMSA + Irelandia Aviation, CEO Juan Carlos Zuazua). The fleet runs roughly 80-90 A320-family aircraft, primarily from MTY (Monterrey, the main hub), with MEX/AIFA, CUN, and GDL as focus cities. US routes include Houston, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Austin, San Antonio, and Orlando.
The critical reader fact: VivaFan is a paid discount subscription, NOT a points program. The closest mental models are Sun Country UClub, Avelo PLUS, Volaris v.club, Frontier Discount Den, Spirit Saver$ Club, and Wizz Discount Club. There is no points currency to earn, transfer, or redeem - members pay an annual fee in exchange for a fixed discount on every paid Viva booking. Pricing varies by region (verify on vivaaerobus.com): VivaFan Individual sits around MXN $1,499 per year, and the Accompanied Traveler tier covers up to 8 companions on the same booking. Discounts run roughly MXN $400 off per round-trip on Viva Smart, MXN $300 off Basico, and MXN $200 off Light, plus extra carry-on or checked baggage allowance and member-only sale access. No US flexible currency transfers in (because there is nothing to transfer to). The strongest US-flyer use case is group or family travel via the Accompanied Traveler tier - 8 passengers x MXN $400 = up to MXN $3,200 in savings per trip.

The cheat sheet.
VivaFan has no award chart - it is a paid annual subscription, not a points currency. All "redemption" is the cash discount applied to paid fares (roughly MXN $400 off Viva Smart, MXN $300 off Basico, MXN $200 off Light per round-trip; verify current discounts on vivaaerobus.com).
