Success!
This is what I did:
0. Created a Groupon account with Spanish address. Not sure this is necessary, but thought it wouldn’t hurt.
1. When signing into Iberia, make sure you are on España site (it will show in top left corner. ) If not click there and make adjustment.
2. Sign into your Iberia Plus account.
3. Click on Iberia Plus tab, then IberiaPluStore, and again (only option) IberiaPluStore
4. Click on “Go to IberiaPluStore,” which will open new tab with store.
5. Scroll down slightly and you’ll see Groupon as first one listed in “Most Popular.”
6. Click on Groupon logo, and then > Shop Now > Continue
7. On Groupon site, click on “Viajes” tab
8. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see Iberia offer > click
9. Payed with Paypal. I tried using a Visa then a Mastercard cc but both didn’t work. (I’m guessing because the Spanish address is not my billing address, and it’s not possible to but in a non-Spanish address in your account info.)
* I’m guessing you can also sign in more quickly and directly to store, here: https://ibplustore.iberia.com/
** I used Iberia.com site in Spanish, but can’t imagine why it wouldn’t work if you have language set to English.

I, on the other hand, put my German address so it would match the billing address on some of the credit cards I use and possibly avoid problems. Seemed to work so far. Hope the offer comes up again (although so far I haven't seen the Avios purchased).

Hello everyone,
I purchased 5x4000, 5x8000 AND 1x2000 vouchers and redeemed them all without remembering there is a 60,000 Avios redemption limit. Has anyone, in the past, gone over a redemption limit and not gotten\received all their points/miles?

If you buy with your Amex Sendo Oro, you can get the 149 euros pack up to 15.278 earned miles, as they are giving X6 bonus on purchases until January 31st
This is a TREMENDOUS value

What is Amex Sendo Oro? Is that an Iberia branded American Express card? Otherwise, I've missed out on a trick here!

It's a pretty good card, all things considered.
