Aer Lingus Credit card - pros and cons?

[Ryan]

Has anyone with pre existing medical conditions used the travel insurance. Do they charge a loading in this case?

Is there a calculator anywhere, or a way to see how many points flights cost? I'm wondering if this card is better then the AIB platinum card.

AerClub avios chart

FWIW, I use 1 avios = €0.01c as a rough guide of value.

That's if using the Avios for flights. If using for accommodation, they are worth only half that!

They’re terrible value for accommodation imo - same applies to earning them on hotel stays as well as redeeming them. There’s much better value in using an accommodation aggregator like hotels.com through the AerClub e-store to get both Avios and hotels.com reward nights.
