Thanks. I just popped in and bought a 2,000 Avios package. For the first time, I didn't go through the IberiaPlusStore, but they are offering so little these days that it wasn't worth the extra bother, especially given the difficulties I sometimes have signing into my IB+ account.

Bought a few of them over 2 hours ago for an upcoming trip and all of my orders are sitting in Procesando status. No idea why, I don't see any fraud alerts or emails pending so wondering if they're going to issue these certificates before the end of day 1/13 in Spain before these expire. Anyone sat in Procesando ie Processing status for an extended period of time?

However, I am asking about creating a new account for my mom and applying a new-user coupon for an additional rebate. Online I found code VIVEGRPN but that one is expired. Is there a new one?

I have tried searching quite extensively some months ago and came to a conclusion that Groupon ruled out promo-code usage for Avios purchases. Previously some promo-codes applied even for existing users. Gave up after that, waste of time not worth not-too-likely success.

Similar problems over at Flying Blue, where I had to change browser to get in. The advice was to clear the cache and delete cookies, but I still have to work out how to do that on a Mac!
Mine were processed immediately and I entered the codes straight away. All seemed to work fine. I'm sure it will work out, it seems pretty reliable these days.

Yep, I figured they would come through but have never seen a Groupon slip into processing status like that before so got concerned. They were issued after midnight my time here so will redeem them today!

It's usually taken a couple of weeks. I personally don't work in IT, but I will never understand in this day and age why the transaction is not more or less immediate. When you buy points, usually the most you have to wait is a day, maybe for the credit card to clear, be approved, or whatever. It nearly always comes through immediately, as do many other points and miles transactions. But this indefinite and impossible to predict wait is inexplicable for me. Only thing is, patience has shown me that they always turn up .... eventually.

I purchased in the latest avios-20 round on 12 January. The Groupons were promptly issued on 12 January.
I completed the redemption process on 12 January (and every other day thereafter given the recent problems in the avios-15 offer) using the “enlace” link from the groupon.
The groupon never went to “redeemed” and I received an email today reminding me to use the coupon prior to its expiry.
I’ll keep trying to redeem.

Groupon.es says:
I don't know how long that has been up as I redeem from a saved copy of the groupon pdf directly rather than first going through groupon.es to view the groupon.
