Aer Lingus and SuperValu launch a NYC competition
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
Aer Lingus AerClub has launched a new promotion with the SuperValu supermarket chain.
If you convert your SuperValu Money Back vouchers or Real Rewards points into Avios by 31st December 2018, you will be entered into a draw to win a family flight to New York. Full details are on the SuperValu website here.
As a reminder, AerClub members can convert Real Rewards points to Avios at a rate of 1 Real Rewards point to 1 Avios (minimum conversion of 50 points) or convert Money Back vouchers to Avios at a rate of €2.50 voucher to 250 Avios.
Your ‘family’ flight is limited to four people, will be in Economy and is ‘subject to availability’. Unfortunately the T&Cs state that it is likely to be difficult to obtain seats for your ‘family flight’ during school holidays …..
Readers in Ireland will know that SuperValu regularly runs transfer bonuses into Avios. This competition is instead of a transfer bonus so you may prefer to sit on your points or vouchers until another transfer bonus comes along.
