Collect Double Avios When You Shop Local
As a reward for shopping local, you can now collect double Avios when you shop in store at Appleby and Kildare Village, or online via the AerClub eStore at Brown Thomas and Arnotts.
Summer is here and lock down is over, so I think we all deserve a little treat! However, it is vital that we try to shop locally and support Irish businesses as they re-open. I have been working with Avios for many years and I was delighted to see that they are rewarding their Irish customers by offering double Avios when you shop in stores at Kildare Village and Appleby, and online at Brown Thomas and Arnotts, before August 16th 2020.
We all want something to look forward to, and having a nice pot of Avios to spend when we are back travelling again sounds good to me! Avios don’t expire as long as you collect or spend at least one Avios point every 36 months. As well paying for Aer Lingus flights, you can also use Avios to book hotels and car hire – read five ways to spend Avios here.
So why not use this promotion to boost your Avios balance, by collecting double Avios when you shop local in these stores before August 16th?
Collect 10 Avios for every €4 spent in Kildare Village
I am a regular visitor to Kildare Village but I haven’t been for months now, I am delighted that this Avios promotion will give me an excuse to go back – well that, and the fact that a brand new Jimmy Choo store has just opened! As well as saving up to 70% off retail prices, I also love the outdoor village atmosphere and the long opening hours. There some great dining options too, including Saba and Dunne and Crescenzi.
There are over 100 brands in Kildare Village including Ted Baker, Under Armour, Michael Kors, Superdry, Coach and Mint Velvet. I rarely leave without something for the kids too, the sports shops are superb and they even have school bags and shoes to get the kids ready to go back to school. You can pre-book your visit and secure a complimentary parking space, and check out the quiet times at the village here.
