During the Summer of 2007 tenants and leaseholders told us at a focus group that we should do more to reward good tenants who look after their homes, care about their neighbours and environment. Our Board and all our staff agreed. The launch of our Aire Card is the first of a number of initiatives that acknowledges the respect thousands of our tenants have for their homes, neighbours and their tenancy.
What is it?
The Aire Card is a discount shopping card. It can be used to make savings, typically 10%, at a range of national and local shops. Participants include 100's of local shops, restaurants and services as well as many well known national stores. You can use the Aire Card throughout the UK and abroad.
