Does anyone have any tips on how I can get more points (apart from flying of course). I do a lot of trips on Iberia - probably 10 inter-europe flights/year and 4 - 6 long haul ones on partners (BA) to places like Japan and LAX. It is amazing to me that I am still struggling to get a goodly whack of points
I find that I get most of my Iberia points through hotels (Priority Club double miles offer at the moment) and to a lesser extent car hire (occasional double points offers with Avis). I looked into the Iberia Plus AmEx Sendo cards at one point but it seemed that you only got the same rate of earning as through the usual Membership Rewards scheme, which is 15 MR points=1 IB+ point. A pretty terrible exchange but you can get 1000 IB points and the first year's fee waived if you sign up to AmEx Gold or Platinum card via the Iberia website
here. If you have a friend who already has a card you can both get MR referral bonuses as well, depending on the card level, as per
here.
