Last Recorded Benefits
Confirm availability and enrollment requirements with the issuer.
- ✦Economy companion ticket on Aer Lingus after $30k annual spend
- ✦Priority boarding on Aer Lingus flights
- ✦Avios pool freely between Aer Lingus, BA and Iberia accounts
- ✦No foreign transaction fees
Why it earns its spot
- +Aer Lingus awards to Ireland avoid BA's worst surcharges
- +Avios transfer freely, so the bonus is as flexible as the BA card's
Where it costs you
- −Perks only matter if you actually fly Aer Lingus
- −Same 1x base earn problem as its siblings
- −Three near-identical Avios cards split one bonus pool of value
The Compound Verdict
Functionally a second or third helping of the same Avios bonus, with Irish seasoning. Boston and East Coast flyers heading to Dublin get real use from the priority boarding and surcharge-light awards. Everyone else should just pick whichever Avios card has the best offer.
