Why I Like This Card
Boost your Aer Lingus flights with the card_name! Get a free economy companion certificate after spending $30,000 in a calendar year. Plus, you can get complimentary priority boarding for you and any authorized users on your account, on flights departing from and returning to the US from Ireland! You will also appreciate the various travel benefits, including luggage delay insurance and lost luggage reimbursement.- Credit: Good credit needed (you will probably need at least one credit card open for more than a year)
- Chase 5/24 rule: Chase will decline an applicant that has opened 5 or more personal cards (other issuers included) in the past 24 months. Hence, 5/24 rule
- Max cards: You can get approved for up to 2 Chase credit cards in 30 days. Business cards and personal cards are counted separately
- Apply for two cards: If you apply for one Chase card and get approved, it is recommended to apply for a second card since Chase is very good about approving for two cards, even within the same day. If the first application is still pending, wait for it to be approved before you apply for a second card
- Double dipping: Chase will not approve you for this card if you currently have an Aer Lingus Visa Signature Card, or if you have received a bonus on an Aer Lingus Visa Signature Card with in the last 24 months

Credit inquiries for Personal and Business card applications will not be combined.
