Members of the airline’s loyalty programme will collect 1 Avios for every €1 spent on any journey taken on the Uber app in Ireland and the UK. To celebrate the new partnership, AerClub members who link their AerClub and Uber accounts via the Uber app and complete a journey before July 31st will receive 500 bonus Avios.

Avios is the reward currency of AerClub and can be collected by flying worldwide and through everyday spending with hundreds of retail partners. Whether you’re catching a flight or heading home after an adventure, this partnership with Uber ensures members can now also boost their balances on every journey they take with Uber in Ireland and also in the UK.

Demand for Uber rides has increased by a massive 175% compared to last year, proving that more and more people are choosing convenience on the go. With operations now spanning every city in the Republic of Ireland, this convenient collaboration with Aer Lingus ensures that AerClub members can seamlessly collect Avios on the go.

Users simply need to link their AerClub and Uber accounts by entering their details into the Uber app in the settings section. Avios will automatically appear in each member’s account after every Uber ride.
