- 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.

I made 9 booking on saturday at 10 am... all e-tickets are consecutive numbers (more or less). On sunday morning, I made the 10th booking at about 10 am: if the e-ticket numbers make sense, then the difference is about 120.000 tickets, from saturday to sunday.
Agree, Argentinians were abolutely viral about it.

Ever since I started blogging I would direct people to the cashback websites rather than trick them into giving me a tiny referral commission. Besides, I don't see any of the InsideFlyer revenue and am just a hired gun...

Was no one else concerned about going through a cashback site? They typically warn you that unless a promotion is explicitly listed on the cashback site that cashback is incompatible with other offers and promotions. I’ve been stung previously going through TCB where I’ve been denied cashback and the promotional offer because I tried to double dip.
Given I believed Iberia would be searching for any and all reasons to curtail this offer, I played it very safe and just went through the homepage. I didn’t want to give them a loophole.

I sat at my desk on Sunday morning (24/06) - looking out over the beautiful Lancashire countryside - then logged into my (several years old) IB+ account and bought 10 singles for a range of itineraries over an extended period of time.
If I don't qualify for the 90k points then nobody does

I gave up on Top Cash Back a while ago after 3 purchases tracked but they didn’t pay out despite giving them evidence. They blamed the retailer and vice versa.
I definitely wouldn’t have used them for something as precarious as this offer!

I just called the US toll free number. They told me everyone would be getting their miles on the 5th because that would be 10 days after the promo ended. *sigh* Sounds like their story has changed from what the agents were saying during the promo.

I called/Tweeted at Iberia and demanded they give me 90000 points immediately and they explained the terms of the promotion.
I am now going to rant about how they are fraudsters and how outrageous they are because I tried to manipulate a promotion and even though theres no reason to believe my manipulation wasn't successful, I like wasting the time of Iberia agents and calling them names.
