Any idea how to claim the points (have already submitted the online form but since the Avios are credited I doubt it will help)? Call center experience so far is among the worst (15min+ wait, no response...).
Flights with an IB code operated by airlines not associated with the Iberia Plus programme do not generate Avios or Elite Points.

I think you earned Avios for the SJO-PTY simply due to how the €-based earning is allocated to individual flights in an itinerary, rather than an actual entitlement to Avios and Elite Points for Copa flights with an IB code.
