@blueboat, My ticket number is VR41XXXX, booked in V class, which includes free seat selection, free date changes, and two pieces of 23 kg luggage. When I booked the ticket, the price difference between Economy Flex and Premium Economy was minimal, and I was expecting to earn 133 Status points with CX. I did not anticipate receiving only 100 Elite points from Iberia.
I will book Premium Economy when crediting points to Iberia for my flights with CX. For my return trip on 13-FEB-2025, I will credit the points back to CX. Additionally, I have booked a trip from FRA to MAD to compensate for the missing Elite points for Upgrade. I have already contacted Iberia but have not received a response yet.
I like your pragmatism, but I don't understand if the fare difference between Econ flex and PE was minimal, why didn't you book PE? Or you needed the flex? Wonder if your can upfare to PE if the fare difference remains small.
