Dublin, 4th November 2025: Aer Lingus and Tesco Ireland today unveil a new partnership that offers AerClub members a unique opportunity to turn their Tesco Clubcard vouchers into Avios, unlocking unforgettable travel experiences. 

From today, Tesco Clubcard members can use the retailer’s Reward Partner programme to convert Clubcard vouchers into Avios, the rewards currency of Aer Lingus’ loyalty programme, AerClub. These Avios can then be redeemed on Aer Lingus flights, upgrades, hotel stays, car hire, and more, making it easier than ever to turn groceries into getaways.

This partnership arrives just in time for Christmas, helping families stretch their budgets further while planning their next adventure, swapping turkeys for Türkiye.

From next week, Tesco will issue Clubcard vouchers to almost one million Clubcard members. Every €2.50 in Tesco Clubcard vouchers can be converted into 600 Avios, turning everyday spending into a memorable travel moment.

With Aer Lingus reward flights starting from only 4,000 Avios, plus taxes, fees and charges, this means just €17.50 in Clubcard vouchers could take customers to Paris, London, or Amsterdam (one-way)*.

For those dreaming of something bigger, each apple you buy with Tesco Ireland gets you closer to the Big Apple - with a reward flight to New York starting at 13,000 Avios plus taxes, fees and charges, meaning just €55 in Tesco vouchers could help you cross the Atlantic*.

Start Making Savings Today

To begin collecting Avios with your Tesco Clubcard, all you need to do is make sure you have your AerClub membership number handy when you are exchanging your Tesco Clubcard vouchers for Avios in the Tesco app or at Tesco.ie/clubcard/reward-partners. If you're not yet a member of either Tesco Clubcard or Aer Lingus’ AerClub, you can join both for free.

Susanne Carberry, Aer Lingus Chief Customer Officer, said: “As we approach the 10th anniversary of AerClub, we’re more committed than ever to making the programme even more rewarding for our loyal members.

“Through our new partnership with Tesco Ireland, members can convert Clubcard vouchers into Avios, allowing them to make significant savings on travel experiences. In real terms, this means a stroll down the aisles of Tesco brings you one step closer to the sun-soaked isles of Spain. It’s a simple, rewarding way to make everyday shopping go the extra mile.”

Suzanne Quinn, Tesco Ireland Customer Director, said: “We are always looking for exciting new ways we can reward customers for shopping with Tesco, and what better way to do it than to team up with Aer Lingus and Avios. In our next Clubcard statement we’ll be giving back over €7.5 million in vouchers to our loyal customers – converted into Avios that’s enough for 450,000 people to fly one way to Paris! Clubcard vouchers last for two years and can be found in the tesco.ie app, so vouchers already issued can be used for this amazing new Reward too.”

Rob McDonald, IAG Loyalty’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “As the brand behind the loyalty currency Avios, we are dedicated to offering members the most rewarding experiences, allowing them to turn their everyday into their next holiday.

“Thanks to this landmark announcement with Tesco Ireland, Aer Club members can now benefit from even more ways to collect and redeem Avios, underscoring our dedication to building one of the world’s most connected and rewarding loyalty network.”

As the global loyalty currency of Irish flag carrier Aer Lingus, members can collect and redeem Avios across a broad ecosystem of travel, retail and financial services partners. From flights and hotel stays, to groceries and online shopping, Avios allows members to turn their everyday spending into meaningful rewards, such as flights, Business Class upgrades, car hire, and so much more.

Tesco Ireland is the latest partner where AerClub members can collect Avios, following successful partnerships with brands such as Uber, Revolut and the Bank of Ireland, as well as the Aer Lingus eStore which allows members to collect Avios with hundreds of brands when shopping online.
