Earn Tier Credits
Tier Credits are earned whenever you fly with Aer Lingus or our AerClub airline partners. They are based on the fare type purchased. The more Tier Credits you earn the more benefits you will unlock as you advance through Green, Silver, Platinum and Concierge tiers.
What’s the difference between Tier Credits and Avios?
Tier Credits are earned from flying. It’s our way to recognise our frequent flyers and they determine your tier status in AerClub.
Avios is the reward currency of AerClub and can be collected by flying with Aer Lingus and our AerClub airline partners. Additionally, they can be collected in many other ways - online through our AerClub eStore, or by booking hotels, car hire, and more.
