Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    American Express just announced they’re adding Aer Lingus as another AMEX Membership Rewards points transfer partner, bringing the total number of airline transfer partners to 17.  The ability to transfer points between the two programs will start at the end of August, and transfers will be at a 1:1 ratio.

    I love earning AMEX Membership Rewards points with cards like The Business Platinum® Card from American Express and The Blue Business®️ Plus Credit Card from American Express.  And more flexibility is always a good thing.

    But this news isn’t earthshattering, because it’s already possible to indirectly transfer AMEX Membership Rewards points to Aer Lingus.

    It’ll Now Take You Fewer Clicks to Transfer Your AMEX Membership Rewards Points to Aer Lingus Avios!

    That’s because British Airways and Iberia are already AMEX Membership Rewards points transfer partners, and they use the same type of points (Avios) as Aer Lingus.

    So in the past, you could, for example, transfer AMEX Membership Rewards points to British Airways or Iberia, then transfer those points to Aer Lingus.  Here’s our step-by-step guide on how to transfer your Avios points between accounts.

    It’s worth knowing how to transfer Avios points between accounts, because each airline has a different set of partners and offers its own unique perks.

    Avios points are valuable for anyone looking for a way to save on short-haul flights within the US or Europe.  Or those looking for award tickets to Europe!  For example, you can book round-trip coach off-peak awards from 6 US Cities to Dublin for only 26,000 Avios points.

    But this news means you’ll be able to save a few steps!  And continue to have flexibility in using your AMEX Membership Rewards points.
