Aer Lingus unveils new loyalty programme
Aer Lingus has re-launched its loyalty programme in partnership with Avios.
The programme, named AerClub, enables Aer Lingus’ frequent flyer programme members to collect Avios points on Aer Lingus flights, as well as on non-air purchases from a range of brands including retail, hotels and car hire, across Ireland, Europe and North America.
AerClub members will also be able to collect Avios points when shopping with a range of online retailers including Apple, Currys, House of Fraser, Argos, Eason, Marks and Spencer via the Avios eStore, and new partners Applebyand Holidays with Aer Lingus on aerlingus.com.
Members will also be able to collect Avios points when shopping at luxury shopping destination Kildare Village.
There will be a tiered membership with points awarded based on frequency of travel and spend. Unlike the previous Gold Circle programme, AerClub members will earn Avios points on every Aer Lingus flight, collecting three points for every €1 spent, as well as when flying with selected AerClub airline partners.
