Avios Ireland: Win 1 million Avios when you convert your Real Rewards points
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
SuperValu has launched a competition giving away 1 million Avios
As a reminder, our coverage of Avios Ireland (AerClub) is exclusively on the Head for Points website. You will not receive these articles via our daily emails unless it is a deal which UK residents can take part in.
Whilst Tesco has a major presence in Ireland, AerClub has teamed up with supermarket chain SuperValu.
We have written about the relationship between SuperValu and AerClub a few times.
The competition
There is one prize of 1 million Avios, 100 prizes of 10,000 Avios and two return flights to New York to be one.
To enter you must have a valid Real Rewards card as well as an Aer Club account.
Simply convert Real Rewards points into Avios by 31st October and you will be entered into the prize draw.
The minimum transfer level is 50 Real Rewards points or a €2.50 Money Back Voucher.
You earn one Real Rewards point for every €1 you spend in SuperValu. You can convert Real Rewards points into Avios at the rate of 1:1. This makes it roughly half as generous as the Tesco partnership which gets you 2.4 Avios per £1 spent.
Full details can be found on the SuperValu site here.
