These car rental points are always a pain to get. You have to wait the requisite few months before contacting the rental car company, they investigate for months and do nothing, and eventually points post or you give up. Sometimes you contact the airline program and they contact the rental car company, but still nothing happens.

700 Avios posted. Fingers crossed for the 18K. I never 100% believed in this promotion since AFAIK nobody received an email and I could never even find any mention of it on iberia.com, only avisiberia.es. Somewhat strange to have a promotion that wasn't particularly promoted...
My screenshot says up to 8 weeks for the Avios, so I guess I'll start worrying in February...

I would really give it the time it says, that just seems to be how Iberia works. I ended up getting all of my Groupon vouchers without too much hassle. There's always the 'Buy Avios' option if you need points really quickly, which isn't too bad a deal when they have a 50% bonus offer.
With Avis, you just have to get the right people in order to sort mileage problems out (something I've never managed to find with Hertz). I managed to get that sorted out during the infamous Avis Accumulator that Air France Flying Blue ran a few years back. I might be able to help out if anyone gets really stuck, but it is well and truly possible that the people I knew have now moved on (I don't think anybody sticks in those jobs for too long).

I'm starting to see some mentions on social media of the 18K posting. Has anybody received their bonus WITHOUT chasing Iberia Plus?
