Looks like they're pretty much just cookie cutter cards for the new Avios UR transfer partners.  I guess the big differences are the companion ticket on Aer Lingus and priority boarding on Aer Lingus.

Very real!  I flew them with an infant about 6 years ago to take advantage of their no-fee Ireland layover on the way to the continent and even economy was a great experience.

I wondered what the next chase airline card would be! I'd read there was still another one to be released.

Very similar to the BA and Iberia card that just came out.  It's interesting to see the differences in the $30,000 perk, though.  I wonder why they went with each of those for those airlines.

Also, these are not governed by 5/24 so there's three cards now that offer big Avios bonuses that are churnable.  I wonder if their 24 month rule applies to just that product or to any Avios cards.  If it's product specific, you could get a 75K bonus every 8 months lol.

Interesting. Possibility of a 75k Avios Bonus with extra spend, and also an Iberia Card is mentioned, definitely 75k Avios. 

Depending on the Avios cost to DUB, which sounds like a low Avios amount, could also be a viable UR transfer partner.
