Aer Lingus, Ireland`s International Airline, has partnered with MBNA America Bank, N.A. to introduce a new credit card program entitled Shamrock Rewards. The no-annual-fee credit card provides consumers with the opportunity to accrue points with each retail purchase made and redeem those points for travel on Aer Lingus.
Issued through MBNA, the Aer Lingus Platinum Plus MasterCard`s benefits to cardholders include special exclusive Aer Lingus travel offers and credit lines up to $100,000; travel insurance; the MBNA Platinum Plus Registry, which offers services like a card and document registry; emergency cash and replacement airline tickets; and a low introductory annual percentage rate for cash advance checks and balance transfers.
Jack Foley, executive vice president Aer Lingus North America said, “We are pleased to be a part of MBNA`s family of credit card programs by offering consumers this unique travel program. Unlike other transatlantic carriers` programs, the Aer Lingus Shamrock Rewards program allows cardholders to accrue and redeem points for travel at a 20% faster rate.”
