Card Features and Benefits:

The Aer Lingus credit card offers yet another way to earn Avios, even if you already carry the British Airways credit card.

This card earns 3x Avios on British Airways, Iberia, LEVEL, and Air Lingus and 2x Avios on hotels booked directly with the hotel.

Aer Lingus Credit Card Earn Rate

• Earn 3 Avios per dollar pent on purchases with Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, and LEVEL
• Earn 2 Avios per dollar spent on hotel accommodations
• Earn 1 Avios per dollar spent on any other purchases.

Aer Lingus Credit Card Benefits

• When you spend $30K on purchases on your Aer Lingus Visa card in a year, you'll receive a discount voucher of $1,000 to use toward two tickets on the same flight.
• No foreign transaction fees
• Using this card at least once every 36 months (or any Avios transaction) will keep your Avios from expiring
• Avios can be transferred into British Airways Avios or Iberia Avios via Avios.com.

While the 3X Avios on Iberia / 2X Avios on hotels are nice features and the bonus on this card can be attractive, the Chase Sapphire Reserve earns 3X Ultimate Rewards on these and all airlines and can be transferred to Avios 1:1 if needed - as well as a range of other travel partners.

The $1,000 voucher can be a nice perk if you spend heavily on Aer Lingus and hotels, but probably less so if you are using the card for non-bonuses spend.

Note: You will only be approved for a Chase card if you have applied for fewer than 5 personal credit cards within the last 24 months from any issuer. (Business cards do not count against the total, except for Capital One and Discover, but are subject to the policy). Learn more about the 5/24 rule here.
