So signing in to your Iberia account, clicking through to the Iberiaplustore then clicking through to Groupon, enables the system to track that you have signed in through your account if you then click the link in post #503 .

I am pleased to have secured one of the 2,000 Avios package this time.
I managed to get into the Iberia store exactly once, and I'm not sure what I did right that time. . I'd buy given the price anyway, but the bonus is, well, a nice bonus.

Make sure the country is set to Spain.

They will post with the correct date, though.
Mine took about a month this time.

I have made sure this is the case every time I sign into Iberia Plus. I wonder if this is the key as to why the whole thing became such a dog's breakfast for a number of British Avios collectors during the early iterations of this promo.

I am not surprised, given how it has been every time and how this package offers the best value at 61% reduction.

Just noticed the following in Iberia Store T&C for Groupon:

*No ofrecemos los 2.000, 4.000, 8.000, 12.000 o 20.000 Avios que usted compre a través de las Promociones "Avios en Iberia Plus".
* We do not offer the 2,000 , 4,000 , 8,000 , 12,000 or 20,000 Avios that you might buy through any "Avios en Iberia Plus" promotions.


Was it there before or they just recently added it? Does it mean they won't post Avios for that purchase? The English translation is kind of weird.

It means "leave us alone if your Avios don't arrive... chase Groupon instead because they're the ones selling you Avios."

It's like buying something from Amazon but then contacting the book publisher if your package doesn't arrive.

Really hope it all works out this time round. Just bought a 20,000 Avios package. Followed the same procedure as every time, which began with setting the country to Spain - English before signing into my Iberia Plus account.

Thanks for the alert - mine have posted too. The quickest I can remember. And usually they post on Tuesdays.

I got my 2.000 today as well. Good job in actually getting all the IT worked out and getting it done quickly. And in August at that.

I got my 2,000 too, which is a nice surprise! Now I am waiting for the 20,000 package that I bought.

Same here, this was rather quick, last time it took about 2 weeks.

My 20,000 Avios package just turned up, so it does seem that this round of the Groupon promotion is working quite well.

Now we just have to wait for the Iberiaplustore Avios to turn up.
