The Amex Sendo Oro card sounds good. Unfortunately I don't have a banking relation in Spain, but I'll keep it in mind in case that changes one day. As for the Avios, they still haven't turned up on my account but I don't expect that to happen before the first week of January from what was written on the voucher (14-15 I think).

I have received all of mine on my account today. I bought the smallest and largest package. Probably should have done it differently (taking a couple of the lesser amounts for ex), but never mind, it's still an ok deal.

2000 Avios received today...
No portal miles yet, although with an email confirmation I'm sure they'll show up eventually.

I reckon those ones will take a lot longer to post. When I bought the 10,000 miles package I recall getting an email saying that I would get 2,000 something extra Avios for purchasing in the Iberia store. At that point I think they were still offering 16 Avios per Euro for purchases, and have reduced it to 5 Avios since then.

I made a purchase at Fnac.es, through the IB store, on the 26th/Nov and the Avios have not been credited yet.
IIRC in the mail I received from the IB+ Store after the purchase it mentioned that the Avios could take up to 40 days to post.

For some reason, my 2000 Avios Groupon posted twice. The 2000 Avios posted on 12/30 and I immediately transferred them to BA. The following day I noticed the 2000 Avios were back in my IB account and in my 'Account Activity' page on Iberia the Groupon had posted twice.
