I have a slightly hazy memory of what exactly happened, but I purchased two Avios packages back in February (2,000 and 8,000) Avios. They credited on 23 February. Looking at my account, I see two Iberiaplustore credits on 12 February for 190 and 791 Avios, so that must be it. My previous purchases were in February 2016.

The IBPlusStore purchases credit with the date of the purchase even if it takes a few months to get there.
I'm hoping this is taken into account for the current promotion. I honestly wouldn't expect the bonus until November or so.

Now I get it! Because I remember those Iberiaplustore Avios crediting a lot later. But they're sitting in the account on the date that the purchase took place.

Interesting how they've changed their strategy of late. They made new packages available in June but made a mistake with limiting the 2000 purchases. Then they got some more 2000 packs in a couple of weeks later. Then they got some more! And now they've started again from scratch. I'm certainly not complaining.
Hopefully the people above who haven't got their purchases will be receiving them soon!

What do think is the best value package apart from 2,000 Avios?
How do I find the page once I click through the Iberiaplustore link to Groupon? It doesn't show up in the Groupon search engine when you input Avios, or Iberia. Maybe the fact that I have already clicked through the Iberiaplustore will mean that it's remembered by the cookies on the iPad and I can click n the link in post #503 above.

I took advantage of this deal in late June, and the Avios I purchased appeared within about 2 weeks. But I still haven't seen the bonus Avios from using the Iberia store. Should I just assume I'll never see those or is it still too early (or should I reach out to Iberia/Groupon)? About 10 pages back I saw where maybe Iberia doesn't honor the bonus, but that seems weird that they would have Avios in the store and a stated bonus that they wouldn't provide.

I usually don't worry about them, not really expecting them to turn up given what a mess this promo always has been in the past, and they've always turned up. I got an email acknowledgement that I was due 256 Avios for yesterday's purchase. So signing in to your Iberia account, clicking through to the Iberiaplustore then clicking through to Groupon, enables the system to track that you have signed in through your account if you then click the link in post #503 .
I am pleased to have secured one of the 2,000 Avios package this time.
