Buy cheap Avios points via Groupon Ireland from 1.05p
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
Yesterday we covered the return of the ‘cheap Avios’ promotion run by Groupon Spain, in association with Iberia Plus.
A smart-eyed reader let us know that Groupon Ireland is also running this deal. The pricing is almost the same, but all of the instructions are in English and not Spanish.
The only price difference is that the €429 package comes with 35,000 Avios via Groupon Ireland. You only got 34,000 Avios via Groupon Spain.
There is no ’90 day’ rule with Aer Lingus. Unlike Iberia Plus, you can open an Aer Lingus AerClub account and immediately move your points to British Airways Executive Club.
As I said yesterday when covering the Spanish deal, the Avios are not a steal at these prices. There is no longer a ‘super cheap’ teaser package and the prices for the other packages are higher than they were a year ago.
On the upside, Sterling is currently stronger against the Euro than it has been for a while. More importantly, if you have any issues redeeming your Groupon voucher, it will be easier to deal with AerClub and Groupon Ireland than Iberia Plus and Groupon Spain.
This is the deal:
- 2,000 Avios for €29 (1.25p)
- 4,000 Avios for €59 (1.27p)
- 8,000 Avios for €109 (1.17p)
- 15,000 Avios for €199 (1.14p)
- 20,000 Avios for €259 (1.11p)
- 35,000 Avios for €429 (1.05p)
You will need an Aer Lingus AerClub account to redeem your Groupon voucher, which you can open here. You can then use ‘Combine My Avios’ via avios.com (your AerClub account details work at avios.com) to move them across to British Airways Executive Club.
