  • 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.
Iberia Plus offer 9000 per booking 21/JUN to 24/JUN on iberia.com

You can thank the blogs for that. This went live on TPG a couple hours ago, so Im sure IB is getting hammered right now. Really glad I got my flights purchased a few hours before the blogs caught on.

I suspect I’ll transfer the 90K out to BAEC (If that hasn’t been prevented by Iberia somehow by the end of the promo) and burn my Iberia account.
I wonder how many Iberia accounts get closed (or just left at -90K) after this !!!!!!!!

Perhaps enough that Iberia backtrack and don’t deduct the 90K if they’ve been transferred to another IAG company (I’m thinking BAEC of course).

That has to be worrying someone at Iberia, surely !!

Mind you, 68K + ~150 tax for a business class flight Madrid to New York isn't bad.

Is it normal for Iberia.com not show any partner award availability other than Iberia, British, and AA?
I checked award availability for Cathay, Srilankan, and none of them are showing any availability although they are clearly shown in BA and Qantas.
yes same here. Trying to redeem award tickets for Sriraman. Maybe we have to call? Do let me know if u have any luck

I pulled up Iberia's website and made sure to login with my IB Plus number. After buying some tickets I realized that there was a special link ending in "win-a-trip-with-avios/" that adds "9,000 extra Avios for free" to the screen. I tried a dummy booking after and the final links seem to look the same. Do all flights booked during the promo period earn the 9k bonus miles or did I really mess up?

T&Cs just say, "Special offer of an extra 9,000 Avios for each ticket purchased between 21 and 24 June 2018 (maximum of 90,000 promotional Avios per member) on iberia.com" and don't mention having to use a specific link.

If you don't make to one of the booked tickets, are there any no-show fees?

Does each ticket have to be in IB Plus holder name?

I just bought 3 round-trips as six one-ways while logged in as the IB Plus cardholder. The 6 tickets are in the name of myself and two other family members (who are not IB Plus members). Any reason I would NOT get 54,000 Avios points (6 x 9k)?

Just booked two tickets where Safari inadvertently duplicated my surname, i.e. First Last Last. Thoughts on whether this will cause any issues with the promo?

I would check my IB account to see if they're all showing in there, but of course I can't actually log in to the darn site at all.

I made 5 purchases for 2 people, however, when checking the reservations online, they don't show the Iberia Plus membership numbers. They do show on the confirmation emails first sent by Iberia.

Anyone else has this problem?

Same issue. I think its just a glitch as if you log into your account and click on bookings in the middle left of the main page, all the bookings show up associated with your account.

So do these get ringfenced? What do they count as "redeemed"? I already keep all my avios in Iberia so I'm confused as to how the actual IT will work for this.

But regardless, now that it seems fine to throw in if you're not flying, I think it's awful to people who need these flights by getting rid of supply on the market and raising prices, but...hey, perverse incentives.

Like to know how to fix the duplicate surname issue.

I do not see a "bookings" link, the second link from left to right on the menu is "your flights", but the only option to get your flights there is entering your name and reservation number.
