Avelo Airlines has partnered with Cardless to launch a new co-branded credit card that offers a $250 sign-up bonus, 2% back on all purchases, and valuable perks like free carry-on bags and seat assignments. The card has a $99 annual fee, but the benefits can make it worthwhile for frequent Avelo flyers.

Why it matters

Avelo is a growing ultra-low-cost carrier focused on the East Coast and Southeast, so a co-branded credit card can help drive loyalty and revenue for the airline. The perks like free carry-on and seat assignments are valuable for budget-conscious travelers, making the card an appealing option for Avelo's target customers.

The details

The new Avelo Airlines World Elite Mastercard, issued by First Electronic Bank and managed by Cardless, offers a $250 Avelo Cash bonus after $1,000 in spending within the first 90 days. It also earns 5% back in Avelo Cash on Avelo purchases and 2% back on all other purchases. Key benefits include free carry-on bags, standard seat assignments, and priority boarding - perks that can offset the $99 annual fee for those who fly Avelo regularly.
