New "Plus Status" Offering Allows Travelers to Earn Additional Benefits for Flights and Everyday Purchases

STAMFORD, Conn. and MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Synchrony (NYSE: SYF), a leading consumer financial services company, and Sun Country Airlines (NASDAQ: SNCY) today announced the launch of a new credit card program focused on rewarding leisure travelers for both flights and everyday purchases. New cardmembers can earn 25,000 points when they spend $1,000 in the first 90 days after opening a new account.*

The new Sun Country Visa Signature® credit card allows cardmembers to earn up to 5X Sun Country rewards points for every $1 spent on Sun Country purchases: 3x when they use their card, and 2x when they fly. Cardmembers also earn 2X rewards points for every $1 spent on gas station and grocery store purchases, and 1X rewards points on all other purchases.*

In addition, cardmembers receive 50% off their first checked bag for themselves and travel companions on the same itinerary and 50% off Best and Standard seat selections for themselves and travel companions when purchasing pre-flight on suncountry.com or via the mobile app, plus a 10,000-point anniversary bonus if they spend $10,000 on their Sun Country Visa in a 12-month period based on the date of account opening. Travelers also receive a free premium drink in flight and a 25% discount on additional in-flight food and beverages when making their purchase using their Sun Country Visa.*

"At Synchrony, we create products to meet travelers' needs, and this new card will offer Sun Country customers a seamless and rewarding customer experience," said Bart Schaller, EVP & CEO, Digital, Synchrony. "This new program and partnership underscores Synchrony's commitment to delivering exceptional value and further enhances our role across many industries, including travel. We are proud to help empower Sun Country travelers to enhance their journeys and open up new possibilities for exploration."

Sun Country is also introducing Plus status to its Sun Country Rewards program to make travel even more rewarding. Plus members enjoy one additional point for every dollar spent on Sun Country purchases, no change or cancellation fees with complimentary Flexible Fares, and an upgraded day-of-travel experience with priority check-in, priority security (MSP departures only), and priority boarding (Zone 1) for themselves and their travel companions on the same itinerary. Members can qualify for Plus status by taking 10 flights in a calendar year or spending $10,000 annually on the Sun Country Visa.

"Sun Country offers our customers great value with low fares, more than 90 nonstop destinations, and a comfortable onboard experience," said Colton Snow, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Sun Country. "Our partnership with Synchrony allows us to enhance our value by offering a credit card for both air travel-related purchases and everyday spending.
