Win 50,000 Avios points with Avis and Aer Lingus

Avis and Aer Lingus AerClub have launched a competition to win one of five prizes of 50,000 Avios.

The good news is that there is virtually no effort required to enter as long as you are already an Aer Lingus AerClub member.  If not, you can sign up for free via this page of the Aer Lingus website.

If you win, your prize will be dropped into your AerClub account, but you can move the Avios across to British Airways Executive Club in two minutes by using ‘Combine Your Avios’.

You can enter via this special page of the Avis website.

There are three questions to answer:

How many bonus Avios will AerClub members collect when they book a car group C or above for 3 or more days with Avis between 1st October – 30th November 2019 for rental between 1st October – 15th December 2019?

AerClub members are entitled to a free additional driver on every Avis rental? (True or False?)

Answer: True

When AerClub members join Avis Preferred how many bonus Avios will they collect on their first Preferred rental?

Answer: 1,000

The closing date is 30th November.  It is one entry per person and you must be over 18 years old.

Click here to enter.  Remember that you need a 3081XXXXXXXX AerClub number to enter, and not a British Airways Executive Club membership number.

There are no residency restrictions – you do not need to live in Ireland to take part.  Good luck!
