Original Routing Credit Iberia Plus
Hello together,
does Iberia offer original routing credit?
My case is the following: I was booked on AA from EWR-CLT-LAX in I class (300 elite points). Now I am booked on JFK-LAX direct in I (225 elite points). I would of course like to claim the missing 75 elite points.
Does anyone haver experiences with this? Otherwise I ll push AA to get on a different flight.
Thanks.

In general you can't claim ORC if the change happens in advance, because you are deemed to have accepted the changes. That's with BA though. I shudder to think how IB+ would deal with ORC.
If the Elite Points are important, talk to AA and work out a different connecting itinerary.

Ok, so quick data point: I took the direct AA flight (nothing else was available). I asked the AA agent to annotate the ticket with an involuntary change note. After a week or so IB oro service replied and said that ORC would be granted. They currently wait for confirmation from AA.
I would end up 5 elite points short of platino if ORC is not granted in the end. The oro service told me I would usually receive the status anyway. Hope everything works out.
