Outside of a brand new name, not much is changing with what's now known as &#8220;Breezy Rewards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Like with the former Breeze Airways Rewards program, travelers can continue earning 2% to 6% worth of BreezePoints on fare and add-on purchases. Nothing is due to change with the earning rates.<\/p>\n<p>BreezePoints are redeemable for 1 cent apiece, which will remain the norm. However, with other changes announced today, there's another way to rack up BreezePoints, which means a quicker path to cheaper flights.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_62514\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62514 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Feature-Toni-5.jpg\" alt=\"Breeze Airways plane in-flight.\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Feature-Toni-5.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Feature-Toni-5-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Feature-Toni-5-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Feature-Toni-5-325x260.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Breeze Airways<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"A_New_Co-Branded_Credit_Card_The_Breeze_Easy_Visa_Signature_Card\">A New Co-Branded Credit Card: The Breeze Easy Visa Signature Card<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The focal point of today's announcements is the <strong>Breeze Easy\u2122 Visa<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Credit Card<\/strong>, which is open to new applicants.

Effective today, however, Breeze flights are bookable on the airline's first online travel agency (OTA) partner, Priceline.<\/p>\n<p>Booking through Priceline will quickly become the best way to book Breeze flights. Breeze is known for charging a hefty amount in carrier fees, such as with its infamous technology development charge.<\/p>\n<p>After a few comparisons, it's clear that you can book the same flight in the same fare class for less on Priceline than you can on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flybreeze.com\/home\" rel=\"noopener\">flybreeze.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, here's a Breeze itinerary for a flight between Bangor (BGR) and Orlando (MCO).
