Haven't tried to do that, but I hope somebody else can answer your question because I would be interested to know. Are the addresses on both accounts identical? That was a problem with the takeover by British Airways of bmi, when people were transferring miles from Diamond Club to BAEC.
Back to the Iberia Groupon deal, and both mileage packages I purchased, 2,000 and 10,000 miles, have posted to my account twice. Now, I am assuming that this is a mistake that they're eventually going to see and correct. So, I'm trying not to get excited about it!

But if you transfer Avios from IB to BA and vv then everything has to match in terms of your account details, right? Address, email and all that? In my case, my IB account has a German address and my BA account a British address.
Still got a pile of doubly credited Avios in my account. But if something's going to happen, it will be from tomorrow on, although it won't be the first time I might be wrong with this idea that I have that nothing happens on a Sunday!

I dug out the long thread on the BA board where all required info ought to be available...

Mine were purchased on the 20th December and came through on 2nd January. I would expect yours to post this week, frankly, but don't be too impatient because these things can be inexplicably variable. If you've got to next week and still nothing has happened, then you need to follow up. Has your card actually been charged?

I bought 2000 avios and tried to redeem below link.
http://ticket.groupon.es/ticket_es/iberia/
I put the codes from the coupon and email address. Then I clicked Validar Cupon.
But it says 'Este cupón ya ha sido usado' and nothing I can do. I never put my IB number.
How does it work? Please let me know.

Some of us had the same problem. Keep on trying and finally it should be OK.

3. Una vez realizado el paso anterior, tus Avios estarán cargados en tu tarjeta Iberia Plus en máximo 10 días laborables, para usarlos cuando tú quieras.
Based on that it is already beyond that timeframe, if I base it on being in the US.

I was basing my expectation of the miles/points posting based on the following,

Good Afternoon Iberians,
I came across this mile purchase opportunity on the "The Points Guy" blog:
http://thepointsguy.com/2015/12/iber...04-cents-each/
I did my purchase on 12-21, the day this info was published in the above link. Still no miles in my account so I went back and looked at the updated comments in the above article. Apparently there is some sort of delay for some where there is a message in their individuals Groupon.es account and for others there has been an unrequested refund of charges. Also there were previous reports of some getting "double" miles. All of this could be related to overall technical incompetence by Groupon.es or Iberia. Just thought I would put this into the Flyertalk mix. I have not received a refund or a message in my Groupon.es account or single or double miles.
