Avios Ireland: 350 bonus Avios AND get double Avios for converting SuperValu points

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.

You earn one Real Rewards point for every €1 you spend in SuperValu.  You can convert Real Rewards points or Money Back vouchers 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.

Two bonuses running at once

Last we month we wrote about a transfer bonus.  Until 8th April, you will get double Avios when converting Real Rewards points into Avios.  This means 1 Real Rewards point is worth 2 Avios.

However, a 2nd bonus has just been launched.

Until 30th April, you will receive 350 bonus Avios when you convert at least 250 Real Rewards points.

This means that – if you convert by 8th April – you would receive double points AND an extra 350 Avios on top.  250 Real Rewards points would get you (250 x 2 + 350) 850 Avios.

Full details of the 350 bonus points offer can be found on the AerClub site here.  The ‘double points’ offer has been removed from the site but should still be running.

PS.  If you visit Kildare Village on Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th April 2018 you will collect 4 Avios for every €1 spent during the event instead of the usual 1.25 Avios, with an extra bonus of 100 Avios on top.

PPS.  It seems that Aer Lingus has finally persuaded the dubious looking German nightclub Aer Club to sell the aerclub.com domain name ….

How to earn Avios from UK credit cards (September 2023)

As a reminder, there are various ways of earning Avios points from UK credit cards.  Many cards also have generous sign-up bonuses!

In February 2022, Barclaycard launched two exciting new Barclaycard Avios Mastercard cards with a bonus of up to 25,000 Avios. You can apply here.

You qualify for the bonus on these cards even if you have a British Airways American Express card:

There are two official British Airways American Express cards with attractive sign-up bonuses:

You can also get generous sign-up bonuses by applying for American Express cards which earn Membership Rewards points.

Run your own business?

We recommend Capital On Tap for limited companies. You earn 1 Avios per £1 which is impressive for a Visa card, along with a sign-up bonus worth 10,500 Avios.

You should also consider the British Airways Accelerating Business credit card. This is open to sole traders as well as limited companies and has a 30,000 Avios sign-up bonus.

EDIT: Applications for this card are temporarily suspended due to IT issues with the British Airways On Business SME loyalty scheme.

There are also generous bonuses on the two American Express Business cards, with the points converting at 1:1 into Avios. These cards are open to sole traders as well as limited companies.
