- Login problems: If you have trouble logging into the Iberia website, type in your number and password by hand instead of using autocomplete. For some people this fixes login issues.
- Partner awards: Many flights on partners will not be available as one-way. You must redeem AA flights as a round trip for example
- Cancellations: Iberia awards on AA cannot be cancelled.

Firefox and Internet Explorer work. Google Chrome is hit and miss.

I believe you have to set them up as "Beneficiaries" if they aren't travelling on the same booking as the IB+ member.
Since this promo appears too good to be true, it's worth keeping in mind that Iberia might just decide it made a mistake or magically come up with new T&Cs. This is the kind of promo I'd expect from an AirBerlin or Alitalia on its deathbed...

Another thing that I don't know if is possible, is buy the tickets with the IBPlus account, get the points 10 days later, and then changes the frequent flyer number for accumulate the avios in the BAEC.

From where did you get that? I see carefully the T&C of this offer and I can't find it.

When I click on the "Terms of use" link in this box it has this language. I wouldn't risk it for a few Dollars/Euros!

Can you use TopCashBack for this? Or does the booking have to be made from the specific webpage?
EDIT - I think I have answered my own question. You can go from TCB to the Iberia homepage and the promotion is advertised on there so it should be OK.

You know, this is a Spanish thing. I regularly get offers from Melia hotels of bonus points, sometimes as many as 10,000, which are to be used against a points or cash & points hotel booking. Usually the booking window is much shorter and the points are taken away again. For a while this was counting as an activity and keeping my points alive.

I am going to buy 10 one-ways between Santander and Madrid, hope this works! Is it better to buy 5 roundtrips or 10 one-ways?

Really tempted to book a bunch of cheapo tickets and not fly them, but I'm a bit concerned about clawbacks or a retroactive restatement of the T&Cs. Can anyone who's more familiar with IB promos provide some advice?
