Aerlingus AerClub/Avios

When you check-in it will show on your boarding pass so they could check at the gate if you forked over 9.99 for the privilege to carry a bag on if your fare/status does not include it.

They seem to have no interest in policing this from what I can see.

Recently had this problem, I asked for a flight (price/availability) on my vouchers, they sent me an itinerary and a price but it was so long that the hotel prices had risen and so I didn't want to take it.

When I tried for another set of dates they told me the flight voucher was used - after a lot of too and fro they would not back down, even though I did not pay for the flight nor was i given a simple price before they sent an itinerary they consider it used, no discussion.

In future I will ask for 2 flights just to ensure that they cannot book an itinerary!

I have used benefits with Aer Lingus down the years in the same way and, if I don't pay for the flight option (taxes etc) when they reverted then my entitlement carried on to be used in future.

I don't think you can. IIRC correctly it's in the Ts & Cs that you can't change your mind / flights.

Air France all the way

Never klm

It doesnt have to be a codeshare

BA flights will credit

If you want to try the A380,you could do what I did last week and fly it on BA to Sin and then do a short regional to wherever

You can lounge hop at Sin between the BA,QR and QF lounges

Your business class ticket will give you access to the Qatar business lounge with a table service fine dining restaurant and copious quantities of Singapore slings

Some retailers are part of the "speedy awarding" program, and you get it within 5 days, while others can take up to 35 days. Travel purchases can taken even longer with month.

If you log on to your estore account and go on "pending transactions" you should see the transaction listed there.

If it's not there after a week, there is a form in the help center for missing avios, if you can find the transaction in the list there you can claim it that way. If the transaction is not on the list and you can't even find it in the "recent transactions" then it might not be tracked correctly. But it takes in my experience at least 1 week to show up in the missing avios form.

I've booked a return flight to the States next month that consists of Aer Lingus flights to/from Newark and a United Airlines connection to Florida on the Aer Lingus booking. Do you know if I get tier credits for each of the 4 legs of the journey or are the connecting flights treated as one journey for tier credit purposes.

Yeah looking at their T&C's I think you're right unfortunately. Seems it's only BA operated flights where you've any chance of getting tier credits.

Flew BA on Friday and tier points and Avios were credited to my AerClub account today - was sceptical of how it work but fair play.

yeah, that’s all I did although I booked through a corporate travel tool through work.

Does anybody know if you get Tier Credits for flights operated by Privilege Style?

If you booked it as EI flight and then it turns out to be operated by Privilege Style you will get tier credits.

There are a few DUB-ACE-DUB flights in the next week or so where Privilege Style will jump in.

Old News, already active since nearly 2 weeks 😉

If you are on ultra with them (which pays for itself imho),this is now the first decent avios earning card in the Republic of Ireland earning at 10 times the rate of the BoI aer club card

Its already been discussed upthread alright,and over on the Rev thread in the personal finance forum
