Brightline Rewards Launches, Offering Perks and Points on Train Travel

Brightline — a private rail operator in Florida — just launched its new loyalty program, Brightline Rewards.

Members will enjoy extra discounts, early access to promotions, and the ability to earn and redeem points. Brightline is incentivizing travelers to sign up for Brightline Rewards with giveaways for new members.

Here’s what you need to know about the new Brightline Rewards loyalty program.

What Is Brightline Rewards?

Brightline Rewards is the new loyalty program behind Brightline, a private train company in Florida. Brightline offers service between Orlando and southeast Florida, including destinations like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach.

With Brightline Rewards, members can earn and redeem points on trips, use points for upgrades, and access members-only deals. Additionally, members can get other unique benefits, including in-station discounts, surprise bonuses, and the chance to win a stay at a luxury resort.

These perks will build on Brightline’s regular promotions, which offer discounted tickets, buy-one-get-one-free travel, and other perks.

Brightline Rewards Details

You can enroll in Brightline Rewards for free at gobrightline.com/rewards. Here are the benefits Brightline Rewards members can enjoy:

• Earning points: Members earn a base of 5x points on every purchase, and whoever pays for the tickets earns the points.
• In-station benefits: Travelers can show their membership card for 10% off at Mary Mary bars and Markt stores in Brightline’s stations.
• Members-only deals: Brightline will provide special deals and discounts to Brightline Rewards members, such as early access to sales before the general public.
• Redeeming points for rides and upgrades: Brightline will offer award bookings and cash-plus-points options to book a train ride, onboard snacks, baggage, or an upgrade to Premium seats. Unfortunately, point values will vary due to its dynamic pricing model. There are no minimums for point redemptions and no blackout dates, and you can expect an average value of 1 cent per point on redemptions. You’ll see the option to use points on the checkout page.

Right now, Brightline Rewards is offering 500 bonus points at random to those who sign up for a new account. Additionally, Brightline is offering triple points for bookings through June 3, 2025. That means 15 you’ll earn points per $1 spent — triple the regular earnings.

Giveaways for New Members

Travelers who enroll in Brightline Rewards by May 30, 2025, are entered in a sweepstakes to win a piece of 1 million points, with prizes ranging from 500 to 100,000 points.

Additionally, members can enter to win a 2-night stay at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort, including theme park tickets, Brightline Premium round-trip tickets, a pool cabana, meals, 2,500 bonus points in your Brightline Rewards account, and more. This sweepstakes ends on April 18, 2025, and you must be at least 21 to enter.

Final Thoughts

Those who ride Brightline in Florida should sign up for Brightline Rewards, as it offers points on bookings, exclusive discounts, and extra perks for members. Plus, you could win a chunk of bonus points or a trip to Walt Disney World if you sign up soon.
