Using AerClub for a Aer Lingus upgrade
Aer Lingus's loyalty program is AerClub. Depending on the route and offer, Aer Lingus upgrade bids can often be paid with points as well as cash — points are a payment method, not a separate product.
Cash or points
When you reach the bid step on Aer Lingus, you'll see whether your offer can be paid in AerClub points, cash, or a mix. The available options depend on the route, fare, and offer shown for your booking.
Earning on an upgraded cabin
Note that miles/points are usually earned based on your original fare class, not the upgraded cabin — check your program's specific rules.
