And 4000 of my 20000 miles posted today.. I am guessing its the only one of the five purchases that says redeemed..
The other four are still lost in the ether I guess..

My experience with small random amounts of points posting to IB+ has been fairly consistent, in that they do turn up, but it can take a couple of months, and they'll usually just appear once I've forgotten about them!

No - I'd completely forgotten about these actually, but still showing as pending in the Iberia Plustore (once I eventually managed to get it to login!). This is along with the two lots from Showroomprive and Amazon BuyVIP which Raffles mentioned on HfP.

I doubt it is chronological, I purchased my coupons and processed them all the same day I purchased them and yet I am still missing 40,000 Avios.

Agustin, I am in the same boat as you, while many on this board have a new sense of optimism, I believe the vast majority of the participants are missing Avios because when they went to redeem they may have put multiple Groupons into the form and as it turned out only the 1st actually took, or some other unexplainable phenomenon only known to Groupon. When you look at the current status in your Groupon account, many accounts had "redeemed" and also "available" when in fact many had attempted redeeming Groupons individually for a second and third time individually, only to have their status remain "available. In my account, the ones that took the 1st time were posted to my Iberia Plus account but the ones which were stuck on "available" now show "paid back" but no refund yet. This is not over by far. I am interested in your progress, even if you want to PM me. Good Luck.

Yes, yes, yes! :-) My avios have appeared in my account. All 5 purchases at once. Wonders do happen. :-)
I haven't received those yet but I've heard that it could take up to 40 days so I have confidence they will show up. I wonder why it needs to take so long but I think that's what mentioned in their FAQ so it doesn't seem abnormal.
I suppose this will be related to the erratic behavior of the Groupon website. It took some serious effort to redeem those coupons. You got various errors trying to do so. I had to enter several of my coupons multiple times before I got the confirmation mail and they showed up as redeemed. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the coupons are not registered as redeemed in their systems.

I received a private message via Facebook to let me know That 22,000 Avios had been credited to my account. I confirmed this and notified Iberia that 40,000 Avios are still missing, they said they would look into it and let me know what the discover in their inquiry to their partenr, I assume the partner is Groupon.
