Redemption NotesAvios are redeemable only through the Aer Lingus AerClub program or partner Avios-earning programs; there is no cash redemption option and no transfer to Chase Ultimate Rewards or other non-Avios currencies; Avios transferred between AerClub and partner programs (British Airways, Iberia, Finnair, Qatar) are available at 1:1 but require separate program membership enrollment; redemption value varies significantly depending on route, cabin, and partner airline surcharges — British Airways in particular charges high carrier-imposed surcharges on some award tickets that can diminish the effective per-Avios value

Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Maximum Cards per Issuer
You can hold up to 5 cards from this issuer simultaneously.
Shutdown Risk Triggers
Manufactured spending and gift card liquidation at scale, excessive cash advances, too many Chase credit card applications in a short period, applying for more than 2 Chase cards within 30 days, suspicious large cash deposits triggering AML review, holding disproportionately high total Chase credit limits relative to stated income, pattern of opening and closing cards repeatedly to farm welcome bonuses
Cliff Effect Rules
The Aer Lingus Visa Signature bonus restriction is fully independent from the other Chase Avios-family cards: holding or having received a bonus on the British Airways Visa Signature® Card or the Iberia Visa Signature® Card does NOT block eligibility for the Aer Lingus Visa Signature bonus, and vice versa. Each of the three Chase Avios co-branded cards (Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia) maintains its own independent 24-month bonus clock, meaning a cardmember can strategically apply for all three within a 24-month window (subject to 5/24 and Chase's 2-card-per-30-day limit) and earn all three welcome bonuses. The card cannot be downgraded to a no-annual-fee product; cardholders must close the account to exit.
International Friendly
This card works well for international travel and transactions.
Additional Issuer Rules
Chase enforces the 5/24 rule — applicants who have opened 5 or more new personal credit card accounts across any issuer in the past 24 months will be automatically denied regardless of credit score. The Aer Lingus Visa Signature Card bonus restriction is card-specific: the new cardmember bonus is not available to current cardmembers or previous cardmembers who received a new cardmember bonus on this specific card within the past 24 months, and holding or having received a bonus on the British Airways Visa Signature or Iberia Visa Signature does NOT block eligibility for the Aer Lingus bonus. Chase also limits approvals to no more than 2 personal credit card applications within any 30-day period, and if the account is closed within 6 months of opening, Chase reserves the right to claw back the welcome bonus Avios.
Military & Hardship
MLA Compliant
