Allegiant Allways Rewards Visa® Review
Overview
The Allegiant Allways Rewards Visa is a co-brand for Allegiant, an ultra-low-cost carrier serving mostly leisure routes to smaller cities. Its points are locked to Allegiant, and with a low $59 fee, it is a modest card aimed at people who take Allegiant's budget getaways.
For a regular Allegiant flyer it can offset fares and travel costs, but the limited, leisure-focused network keeps it niche.
Think twice if: you do not fly Allegiant, since its network is limited and the points are locked to it.
Our 2.5 out of 5 rating
Each score weighs the rewards rate, value after the annual fee, welcome offer, points flexibility, and perks, with every point valued at a flat 1 cent. This is our editorial assessment to help you compare cards, not a guarantee of approval or of the value you will get.
Rewards: how it earns
You earn bonuses on Allegiant purchases and dining, in locked Allegiant points, and get some travel discounts. The earning is fine for a budget-airline card, but the points only work on Allegiant, so the value depends on flying them.
| Category | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Travel | 3x | Bonus category |
| Dining and restaurants | 2x | Bonus category |
| Everything else | 1x | Everything else |
Every point and mile above is valued at a flat 1 cent, the same honest standard we use for every card. Run your own spending through the calculator to see what this card would actually return for you.
Pros and cons
- Low $59 fee
- Earns on Allegiant plus travel discounts
- Solid welcome bonus for the tier
- Points locked to Allegiant
- Limited, leisure-focused network
- Niche appeal
The welcome bonus
The welcome bonus is solid for the tier: 45,000 points after $3,000 in 90 days, a decent chunk toward Allegiant travel and the main reason to get the card.
Is it worth the annual fee?
The $59 fee is low, and for a regular Allegiant flyer the points and travel discounts can cover it. If you do not fly Allegiant, the fee is hard to justify.
First-year value vs ongoing value
| Welcome bonus | 45,000 points |
| To earn it | $3,000 in 90 days |
| Est. first-year value* | $749 |
| Est. ongoing value / yr* | $299 |
The welcome bonus makes year one the high point: roughly $749 in value once you count the bonus, this card’s rewards, and its credits, minus the $59 fee. After that, the honest figure is about $299 a year, so judge whether it earns its keep on the ongoing number, not the first-year headline.
*First-year value counts the welcome bonus, estimated rewards, and annual credits, minus the annual fee; ongoing value is a typical year after. Every point at a flat 1 cent, on average spending.
Benefits and protections
Beyond the rewards, the perks and protections worth knowing about include:
- Buy-one-get-one airfare and priority boarding benefits on Allegiant
Statement credits
This card does not come with recurring statement credits. Its value is in the rewards rate and welcome offer.
Who should get it, and who should skip it
If you take Allegiant's budget getaways regularly, this low-fee card can offset fares and the welcome bonus helps.
If Allegiant is not part of your travel, the locked points will not do much. This is a card for their leisure flyers.
