Tried searching on Dutch website in Spanish; no luck. My account is in the USA.

USA registered. Looks like I should make a Spain-based account.

For those targeted, do you have a high Avios balance at IB?

It sounds like residency doesn't matter. I usually keep my Avios there but moved almost all to BA a while ago for a trip that didn't work out.

Works for me but only in economy sadly. Business or prem economy does not seem to be discounted.

Acct registered in Puerto Rico (usually counts as US for Iberia purposes).

Works for me (Oro, registered in Spain), does not work for my wife (Platino, also registered in Spain).

Works for dates from Sept-Dec, all classes, only full Iberia itineraries. My bigger problem is availability..

Edited to add that it does work but only in certain months for business class. Parts of May, Sept, Oct, Nov. Was able to snag 2 sju-mad seats for 17k each.

One thing worth noting is that if you don't have enough Avios to book, you won't see the discount. It's only shown when you click on one of the cabins and then are offered the various Avios & Money options.

Thanks for pointing that out! I transferred back to IB but still no discount. (Oddly the BA site said I'm not eligible to transfer to IB, even though I've done before. Had to pull from the IB site instead. Both accounts have active earnings.)

Also not seeing any discount, didn't get an email. Account registered in Switzerland. Boo, that'd have been nice.

Spain account, Oro, currently 130k balance. No email and not seeing any discount. Seems to definitely be targeted.

Spain account, silver via cc, did not get the mail and only saw the offer here yesterday afternoon.

When tried some dummy bookings, I got the 50% offer but availability was very limited for 2 tickets in Biz class, so did not bother at the end.
