Avelo Airlines today announced the launch of the Avelo Airlines World Elite Mastercard, in partnership with Cardless. This makes Avelo the first U.S. domestic airline to adopt next-gen credit card infrastructure with fully embedded, digital-first tech. The partnership enables Avelo to deliver smarter rewards, faster approvals, and seamless digital integration to its millions of customers—capabilities that legacy bank partnerships simply cannot match.

The Avelo Airlines Mastercard integrates seamlessly with Avelo’s other offerings and gives cardholders 5% in Avelo Cash back on Avelo purchases, 2% in Avelo Cash back on all other purchases, and unique benefits like a free carry-on bag, priority boarding, and standard seat selection capabilities¹. The product was designed to deliver unmatched value for Avelo Customers.

The Cardless technology platform allows Avelo to provide improved customer experience and the ability to track activity in real-time to learn from each purchase and continuously optimize rewards and can leverage AI-powered technology to deliver personalization and drive significantly higher customer engagement.

Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “Our Customers have been asking for a loyalty program with unique perks for Avelo travelers, the Avelo Airlines Mastercard offers just that. When Cardless demonstrated what their platform could deliver—the speed, control, personalization, and seamless integration with our loyalty program, I was impressed. This is the future of airline financial products, and we’re bringing it to our Customers today while continuing our purpose of inspiring travel through convenience, affordability, and industry-leading reliability. Not only will our Customers enjoy this new technology, but they’ll also enjoy their Avelo travel perks of a free carry-on, priority boarding and cash back opportunities.”

Cardless Co-Founder and President Michael Spelfogel said, "Avelo is proving that a startup airline can embrace game-changing technologies and leapfrog ahead. Cardless gives Avelo the power to embed and scale its financial products directly in its ecosystem, and leverage AI productivity tools that drive better offers, and a digital-first experience that customers actually want to use. We're so proud to help power Avelo's disruption and overhaul of airline rewards, and we expect other carriers to follow in their lead."
