Please review the Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we will protect and use your personal information in connection with the Program. If you object to your information being transferred or used in this way please do not access or participate in the Program.
Collecting Points
The amount of Points a Program member earns will depend on the service purchased and the Program member’s tier status.
In instances where the logged in account is different from the billing email, the ClubMiles points will be awarded to the logged in account.
Members at the Silver Tier or higher earn Points as follows:
Airline Tickets
- Earn one (1) Point for every U.S. dollar spent on stand-alone flights through the CheapOair.com or OneTravel.com branded desktop or mobile websites.
- Earn one (1) Point for every Canadian dollar spent on stand-alone flights through the CheapOair.ca branded desktop or mobile website.
Hotels and Rental Cars
- Earn two (2) Points for every U.S. dollar spent on stand-alone hotels and rental cars through the CheapOair.com or OneTravel.com branded desktop or mobile websites.
- Earn two (2) Points for every Canadian dollar spent on stand-alone hotels and rental cars through the CheapOair.ca branded desktop or mobile website.
Ancillary Offerings
- Earn two (2) Points for every U.S. dollar spent on an Ancillary Offering that is combined with the purchase of flights, hotels or rental cars through the CheapOair.com or OneTravel.com branded desktop or mobile websites.
- Earn two (2) Points for every Canadian dollar spent on an Ancillary Offering that is combined with the purchase of flights, hotels or rental cars through the CheapOair.ca branded desktop or mobile website.
In addition, Points multiply at the Gold and Platinum tiers, as follows:
- Gold Members: Points are doubled on each Qualifying Purchase.
- Platinum Members: Points are tripled on each Qualifying Purchase.
And purchasing using one of our brands’ mobile applications doubles your points earned on top of any tier multiplier.
Qualifying Purchases can be made online on the Sites for the applicable brand that offers ClubMiles membership. No Points will be provided for purchases of stand-alone Ancillary Offerings. Except where required by law or provided for in these Terms, Points have no cash value. Points have no exchange rate to any market currency.
ClubMiles will attempt to credit your Account with the awarded Points on a timely basis, usually thirty (30) days after the booked travel was completed. Your Tier status will be updated (if applicable) when your points are credited to your account. Points are not earned on bookings that are cancelled. Points are not earned on bookings that are cancelled. Changes or cancellations to the booked itinerary may result in differences between the estimated number of pending points calculated and the ultimate number of points that are credited to your Account for that itinerary. However, you have the responsibility of making sure that your Points are properly credited. Please retain copies of your purchases for your records. Any claim for Points not credited accurately must be received by us within six (6) months of the date of claimed accrual of such Points.
For clarity, where a purchase is made in whole via redemption of the Points, the portion of such purchase that includes a Points redemption will not be included in the total of the Qualifying Purchase. Points you earn upon making a Qualifying Purchase cannot be redeemed for that purchase and can only be redeemed for a subsequent Qualifying Purchase.
In the event of any ambiguity, uncertainty or dispute as to whether any particular itinerary or part thereof is a Qualifying Purchase, ClubMiles shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine whether such travel is a Qualifying Purchase.
Points may also be awarded to you by ClubMiles as a goodwill gesture in the context of customer service (e.g., courtesy waiver of applicable fees). To avail yourself of these courtesy points, you will need to sign up for the Program on a Site.
Points Expiration
In general, Points will not expire as long as a Qualifying Purchase was made through your ClubMiles Account with any of the Sites at least once every two (2) years. "Qualifying Purchase" means a Points-eligible booking that has been completed through one of the Sites or over the phone, and has been confirmed in the case of flight bookings, or consumed in the case of hotel and rental car booking (meaning hotel check-out date or end of the rental car period). Points on your Account shall expire if no Qualifying Purchase was made through your Account with any of the Sites for the preceding two (2) year period; however, Points rewarded as a customer service courtesy will expire on the expiration date assigned to them and should be redeemed before the assigned date.
Redeeming Points
Points can be redeemed via instant redemption while booking on the Sites. You must have a minimum of 1000 Points in order to use instant redemption. The Points are redeemable for service fees charged by us and/or our affiliates in connection with your flight booking (“Service Fees”) and fees charged by us and/or our affiliates when you purchase certain Ancillary Offerings (as defined below) (“Ancillary Offering Fees”). Service Fees exclude Enhanced Seat Assignment Fee, Baggage Service Fee, Post Ticketing Fees. The maximum savings from the redemption of Points on flights and Ancillary Offerings is the value of Service Fees and Ancillary Offering Fees. The exact number of Points required to redeem for certain Service Fees or Ancillary Offering Fees will be shown online on the applicable Site. ClubMiles reserves the right in its sole discretion to change the redemption options offered as well as the number of points needed to redeem for certain Service Fees or Ancillary Offering Fees at any time. ClubMiles also reserves the right to limit the quantity of Points an Account may redeem in a single transaction. Gift cards redeemed through the Program must be fulfilled online. All gift cards are subject to the issuer's own Terms & Conditions. At ClubMiles’ discretion the Program may also allow you to use Points to get a discount off of certain types of travel or travel-related items booked on CheapOair.com.
Ancillary Offering means the following services:
- Travel Assist Classic
- Support Package (Premium Support or Supreme Support)
- Flexible Ticket
- Flexible Ticket Bundle (Flexible Ticket and Flight Watcher)
- TAC Bundle (Travel Assist Classic and Price Drop Assurance

ClubMiles reserves the right at any time to limit Program enrollment. We may terminate your participation in the Program and void or cancel your entire Points balance if you do not meet the Program eligibility requirements or any Points in your Account are issued, received, or redeemed through deception, fraud or theft, or otherwise illegally, or not as authorized in these Terms.

If you have any questions regarding the Program, we can be contacted by email at rewards@CheapOair.com.
CheapOair Credit Reward Terms
By applying for and opening a CheapOair Credit Card (“CheapOair Credit Card”), CheapOair Visa® Card, or CheapOair Visa Signature® Card (each a “CheapOair Visa Card”), you hereby agree to be bound by these Credit Rewards Terms. In addition, you acknowledge you have previously enrolled in the CheapOair Rewards Program (the “Rewards Program”), or if you have not, you agree to be enrolled in the Rewards Program, and to be bound by the Rewards Program Terms and Conditions (“Rewards Program Terms”), which are available at CheapOairCardRewards.com.
Make Purchases with your CheapOair Credit Card or CheapOair Visa Card and Earn Reward Points
When you make an eligible net purchase (eligible purchases minus credits, returns and adjustments) (“Eligible Purchase”) with your CheapOair Credit Card or CheapOair Visa Card, you will automatically earn points in your Rewards Program account if your CheapOair Credit Card or CheapOair Visa Card account is open and in good standing both at the time you make an Eligible Purchase and at the end of your billing cycle during which you made an Eligible Purchase. Points earned for an Eligible Purchase will be calculated at the end of the billing cycle in which the Eligible Purchase was posted to your CheapOair Credit Card or CheapOair Visa Card account and will appear in your Rewards Program account within 60 days. Eligible Purchases do not include special financing purchases, balance transfers, cash advances, finance charges and fees associated with your credit card.
Earn Points with Your CheapOair Credit Card
When you use your CheapOair Credit Card for Eligible Purchases (including any fees or other charges paid at the time of booking) on the CheapOair website or through the CheapOair telephone customer service center, you will earn 6 points for every U.S. dollar spent, rounded to the nearest dollar. “Book now, pay later” and CheapCruises purchases made through CheapOair cannot be made on a CheapOair Credit Card. Cardholders who book airline travel on the CheapOair mobile apps earn a total of 8 Reward Points (2 Reward Member Reward Points + 6 Credit Card Rewards Points = 8).
Earn Points with Your CheapOair Visa Card
- Base Reward When you use your CheapOair Visa Card for Eligible Purchases made everywhere Visa credit cards are accepted, you will earn 2 points for every U.S. dollar spent, rounded to the nearest dollar.
- Dining When you use your CheapOair Visa Card for Eligible Purchases made at dining establishments, you will earn 2 additional points, for a total of 4 points for every U.S. dollar spent, rounded to the nearest dollar. Eligible Purchases made at dining establishments will be determined by the merchant category code (the “MCC”) associated with the merchant. An MCC is a four-digit classification code that is assigned to a merchant by the merchant’s payment card network or merchant processor based on the predominant business activity of the merchant. The merchant’s MCC will determine whether an Eligible Purchase qualifies as being made at a dining establishment for the 4 point reward. For example, a dining purchase at the café area of a grocery store may have an MCC identification as a type of merchant other than a dining establishment and therefore would not qualify as a dining purchase under these Credit Reward Terms. Neither CheapOair nor Synchrony Bank assigns or has responsibility for the assignment of MCCs or evaluates what MCC should be assigned to a particular merchant.
- CheapOair Purchases When you use your CheapOair Visa Card for Eligible Purchases (including any fees or other charges paid at the time of booking) on the CheapOair website or through the CheapOair telephone customer service center, you will earn 6 points for every U.S. dollar spent, rounded to the nearest dollar. Purchases on your CheapOair Visa Credit Card on CheapCruises are only eligible to earn 2 points for every U.S. dollar spent, rounded to the nearest dollar. “Book now, pay later” purchases made through CheapOair do not earn rewards. Cardholders who book airline travel on the CheapOair mobile apps earn a total of 8 Reward Points (2 Reward Member Reward Points + 6 Credit Card Rewards Points = 8).
Redeem Your Points
All points earned with your CheapOair Credit Card or CheapOair Visa Card and credited to your Reward Program account can only be redeemed in accordance with the Rewards Program Terms through your Rewards Program account by visiting CheapOair.com/rewards. Your CheapOair Credit Card account or CheapOair Visa Card account must be open and in good standing when your reward points are calculated at the end of the billing cycle during which you made an Eligible Purchase. If your account is not in good standing at that time, any points earned will be not be posted to your Rewards Program account until your CheapOair Credit Card account or CheapOair Visa Card account is brought back into good standing status. If your CheapOair Credit Card account or CheapOair Visa Card account is closed for any reason before your reward points are calculated or credited to your Rewards Program account, you will forfeit all points you may have earned that had not yet been credited to your Rewards Program account. Points are only earned on the Credit Card account or Visa Card account used to make the purchase and are not based on the website on which the purchase is made. For example, if you use a CheapOair Credit Card account to make an Eligible Purchase on the OneTravel website, you will earn points on your CheapOair Rewards Program account (and not on your OneTravel Rewards Program account). If you have more than one Rewards Program account, you cannot transfer or combine points between accounts. Points will not expire as long as a Qualifying Purchase was made through your CheapOair Rewards Program account at least once every two (2) years. "Qualifying Purchase" shall mean a Points-eligible booking which has been completed.
