Weird serendipity - booked seat 5k Aer Lingus to Malaga a few weeks ago, and applied for the Aer Lingus card last week, arrived today! With coincidence like that you have a new subscriber
bensutton180 Amazing! I love it when things work out! I’ve flown in 5k before and its awesome especially if its one of their throne seats!
I don't know what's the target audience for this video, Ireland or outside of Ireland? If this is a review for Irish residents, then this card is great value if you use it for its perks and not to get into debt, then it's the best Ireland has to offer, its APR is the highest at 26.60%. This is not a credit card to pay interest, but to pay your groceries, leisure, transport costs, subscriptions, etc, and pay it back in full every month so you don't have to pay interest until you hit the €5000 yearly mark to qualify for the free tickets, but on its own, the travel insurance that they offer is better value than if you are to take travel insurance for a whole family, even for two people. Just on that alone is worth it, because a worldwide family travel insurance costs much more than €80 per year. To take this card, you must be already using travel insurance and want a better deal, otherwise, it makes no sense for you, the rest are extras (the 2 lounge passes, the 2 air tickets). So for the US market, it's a so-so card, but for the Irish market which is the market this card is catered for is a great card for a niché audience and a challenge you to come up with a better Irish credit card for travellers.
Ur channel deserves way more subscribers. Keep it up
Really appreciate this comment! I think so too! lol. Happy New Year!
can you make an updated version of irish credit cards? is so hard to find infos about it
Thanks- I live in Ireland and this is the only card I can find available for Irish residents. I won’t buy it, it’s terrible value. Do you know of any other travel credit cards available to Irish residents?
Hey Angela! Thanks so much for your comment!
Unfortunately travel cards are hard to come by on our little Emerald Isle. The BOI Aer Lingus card is pretty bad but its still better than nothing. I used my free flights to go to Tenerife which saved us almost €400 so depending on how you use your free flights, it might still be worth it.
Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Which do you think is better this bank issuer or chase bank for aer lingus ?
Thanks Bruce for the very useful information! One question comes to mind which I cannot seem to find the answer to: Are the award flights eligible for AerClub tier credits?
Also, its great to see you posting videos again! Keep it up!! You have a great style of reviews!
Hey Adam! Great question. I can confirm as someone who’s flown on an award ticket to Tenerife in Jan 2020, you do not receive any tier credits for those flights.
You will however, earn tier credits when you use avios to upgrade to Business. Instead of earning as little as 25 tier credits on a flight from Dublin to Toronto (for example) you’ll earn the full 125 tier credits.
Thanks so much for watching!!!
@@Seat5K Thanks for the info!
Love it mate
Mark Sheridan Thanks a mill! Glad you enjoy!
Does this card have some app to follow up our balance and get notifications when we use it?
The card benefits are awful, the best credit cards are the ones from US but since I live in Ireland this is the only credit card I can use for collecting points haha sad story =(
Hey! Sadly BOI does not have an app for this card product. Super lame, I know! Hopefully they develop something for the future!
Great new channel! I want to win the amenity kit!
