Bad news! Just seen the Operating Conditions of Club Iberia Plus which (now?) include the very unhelpful language which I have emphasised in red below. And so the potential workaround to build up EPs by crediting BAH bookings to CIP is now severely restricted. The cheek of CIP to target the Spanish market only!
"In the case of Iberia and the Airline Partners, Avios and Elite Points shall be granted to the Club Iberia Plus Holder whose name appears on the airline ticket or the agreement with the relevant Partner. Accordingly:- When a flight reservation is made for multiple passengers, each Club Iberia Plus Holder shall receive the Avios and, where applicable, Elite Points corresponding to their individual ticket, regardless of who made the payment for the reservation or purchase. If any of the passengers is not a Club Iberia Plus Holder, they shall not receive Avios or Elite Points for that reservation.
- As an exception to the foregoing, vacation packages that include flights, hotel accommodations, or car rentals, among other services, purchased through Iberia.com via the Partner BA Holidays for trips departing from Spain, shall allow the Club Iberia Plus Holder making the payment for the package to earn Avios and, where applicable, Elite Points for the total purchase amount. This accrual shall be independent and additional to the Avios and Elite Points that each passenger may earn for the specific flight/air ticket purchased within such package."
