12,000 Avios with an Economist subscription via Iberia Plus
Hi All,
New to FT so apologies if this is posted in the wrong place or if it's already covered elsewhere on the site. (searched threads and couldn't see any mention)
Back in December I saw an article on headforpoints for this deal but is was pulled early and I missed it. It seems like the deal is still live via this link I found on shrewdtraveller.co.uk and I thought I would post here as it may benefit someone.
You can get 12,000 IB avios points for signing up to an economist 12 month subscription. It states in their t&c's that you can cancel within the first 4 weeks and receive a full refund, however it does also state " You will not receive a full refund for all un-served issues. " so kind of confusing however comments on the headforpoints post seem to suggest that most people have been able to cancel without any problem.

The terms and conditions were changed on January 16th. If you ordered before that date, you will receive your refund. If there is any push back from the magazine, push back yourself. You are due your money.
If you applied on or after January 16th, you are now bound by these rules:
Cancellation
Unless specifically stated in any Subscription offer or promotion when you place your Subscription order, you have the right to cancel your Subscription at any time. Please note that if your Subscription includes a digital element, by placing your order you agree that we may start your Digital Subscription immediately and you acknowledge that you will lose your right to a refund in relation to any issues that have been published before you cancelled.
If you exercise your right to cancel, unless the terms of any Subscription offer or promotion state otherwise, we will reimburse all payments received from you, less a pro-rated amount for each issue delivered (if your Subscription contains a print element) or published (if your Subscription is a Digital Subscription only) before you cancelled.

I'm at week 5 and still no sign either. If you have waited the full 6 weeks and they still haven't credited I would ping them (economist) an email.
If you get a response please let us know.
(i'm going to email them next week if still waiting)

Update: My points have just posted! I sent an email on Thursday morning and the points appear to have posted sometime in between then and today. However I haven't had an official reply from them yet, but I'm guessing this movement was due to the email I sent. (?)
