Indeed. This is why we can't have pretty things.
I'm reminded of a few hotel chain situations. Gifts for requalifying for status. Targeted promos, etc. The backlash from those not included was so massive that the chains just decided that nobody would get anything special going forward.
Whether or not this promo works out roughly as Iberia intended, we know with 99% certainty that they will never ever again open themselves to such venomous criticism simply for giving their loyal members a nice bonus.

PS : I don't care about Iberia and they are not convenient for none of my travel plans... so I have nothing against them, I just look at the facts and analyse.

They haven't made their own customers upset, though. Looks like they (like the OP) got their points with no problem. The new non-costumers are only having to verify their identity and to wait a little bit for an (over) generous promotion.

Better you don't talk about what you don't know, check twitter and here, you will understand the whole story.

How many additional posts do you plan to open with your rant against Iberia? You must be very very frustrated!

I suspect that will involve being helpful to those who are genuinely looking for help, and ignoring those who want to rant against Iberia. Putting the OP into my "ignore list" has been a good place to start...

Ignore list is a good solution. you are right, I do the same when not interested.
I created 2 thread for 2 different problems, sounds logical no?

Just to make it clear: frenchft does not represent Europe. Greetings from the Netherlands. Let me know if you are ever around, sounds like a lot of fun to have a drink with you :-)
