The announcement builds upon the addition of Iberia Plus and
AerClub, the airlines’ loyalty programs, as newest Chase
Ultimate Rewards® point transfer partners in late 2017.
Eligible Chase credit cardmembers can transfer Ultimate Rewards
points to Avios in increments of 1,000 at full 1:1 value – meaning
one Chase Ultimate Rewards point is equal to one Avios.
New Aer Lingus and Iberia Visa Signature Cardmembers in the U.S.
will be able to earn Avios by using their credit cards for travel
to any of the cities in Iberia and Aer Lingus’ networks, as well as
many other destinations with their redemption partners. The cards
will also offer customers additional benefits including savings on
flights, no foreign transaction fees, lost luggage reimbursement
and auto rental collision damage waiver.
Chris Treadwell, Commercial Director at Avios Group (AGL)
Limited, said: “We’ve partnered with Chase on a co-brand credit
card with British Airways for more than 24 years and could not be
happier to expand our partnership to two more airline partners,
Iberia and Aer Lingus. This allows us to offer Avios-earning credit
cards to even more customers in the U.S.”
Renata Rached, Iberia’s head of Loyalty, said: “Through our new
Iberia Visa Signature Card, our U.S. customers will now be able to
make more of their Iberia flights from our U.S. gateways: Boston,
Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York or San Francisco to any of
the 100 destinations we offer in Europe, the Middle East and Africa
via our hub in Madrid. We are excited to bring more of Iberia
Airlines, and all it stands for, to U.S. customers.”
Aer Lingus Chief Operating Officer Mike Rutter said: “Our
partnership with Chase allows us to offer rich rewards through the
Aer Lingus Visa Signature Card on flights from our 13 North
American gateways to Ireland, the UK and Europe, as well as through
our partners. More guests will be able experience our award-winning
service, while getting access to incredible destinations.”
“We are excited to welcome two new partners to our co-brand card
business,” said Leslie Gillin, Chase Co-Brand Cards President.
“Whether customers are looking to travel to see relatives, learn
more about their roots, or are planning their summer travel to
Europe, they can now do so by earning 3 Avios per $1 spent on the
airlines.”
