-- Mutually beneficial online payments platform will reward Breeze Guests with 50% more BreezePoints earned at checkout --

Breeze Airways, the newest, nicest domestic low-fare airline, with more than 120 nonstop routes, today announced it is the launch customer of StaqPay, an incentive-based online checkout platform that empowers consumers to pay how they want while earning additional rewards with the brands they love.

Targeted for a second quarter launch on www.flybreeze.com and on the Breeze app, StaqPay offers Breeze Guests the opportunity to earn fifty percent more BreezePoints off their base fare simply by selecting StaqPay at checkout and linking their preferred form of payment to the platform including ACH, debit, credit or even crypto currency.

In addition to the benefits Guests receive from paying with StaqPay, Breeze benefits also by saving money on merchant fees compared to typical payment processors.

“This is just a nice solution all the way around because it gives us the ability to reward our Guests while saving Breeze money on merchant fees,” stated Breeze CCO Lukas Johnson. “By helping reduce costs, StaqPay is supporting us in our mission of providing our special brand of high flex, low fare service. It’s truly a win-win.”

StaqPay, a new Salt Lake City-based fintech backed by institutional investors including Kickstart Seed Fund, Peterson Ventures and Pelion Venture Partners, is poised to usher in the next generation of flexible online payment.

“I can’t think of a better launch customer for StaqPay than Breeze,” stated StaqPay President and CTO Dee Evans. “Just as Breeze has disrupted its industry by creating an entirely new category of air travel, StaqPay is similarly disrupting the online payments world by offering a new and innovative solution built to benefit both businesses and their customers.”

Guests on Breeze may choose from three price bundles: ‘Nice’, ‘Nicer’ and ‘Nicest’ with the percentage of BreezePoints earned based on the bundle purchased.
