Welcome to FlyerTalk.

The closest you can come is to hold a credit card that awards points, often double points when used to purchase airline tickets and sometimes other items, that can be used to purchase airline tickets. None of those earn airline miles for flying particular fare classes or distances.

As airlines compete with each other and banks do too, and different countries differ in regulation of both, IMO it’s highly unlikely there will ever be a universal airline affinity card.

Even trickier, you’re flying low cost carriers and two mainline carriers, Aer Lingus and Aeroméxico, that AFAIK have no partnership. Perhaps saving money for your spending discretion, rather than accumulating airline miles, is more appropriate for your travel style. There’s a lot to be said for having a bit more folding money at your destination.
