Missing elite points

As of April I decided I was going to begin crediting my (mainly BA) flights to Club Iberia plus. I’ve since taken 2 flights, they were codeshare BA flights so I wasn’t entirely surprised when they didn’t credit to my account.
It’s now 3 weeks since the first flight and I’m as of yet unsuccessful in trying to get Iberia to credit the elite points and avios. I’ve tried the following;
I had expected there would be a bit of trial and error in finding the best way of claiming the points, are there any other contact methods I’ve missed that people have found to be more responsive? It’s beginning to feel like they are actively ignoring my communications as they aren’t Iberia flights. I don’t mind having to claim missing points, but if I can’t count on them to actually credit me for flights with other airlines then I might have to reconsider Club Iberia Plus. I’m currently on the fence whether to give up and claim the flights on my BAEC account instead.

- missing avios claim in app
- english speaking call centre
- filling in contact form on website

That would be the answer. You cannot credit an Aer Lingus operated flight, even on a BA code, to IB.

• Flights with a British Airways (BA) code operated by a company not associated with Iberia do not qualify for the accrual of Avios and Elite Points.

I have the same issue but with proper Oneworld flights.
I booked on BA a BA flight LHR-DUB economy - I was not awarded elite points. I submitted a missing Avios claim through the app and it was declined twice because it did not met the conditions. It was operated by BA, have a boarding card with my IB number in it.
My partner was credited for the flight some 20 days ago - for me - nothing.
Two days ago I had a Business class QR flight from SOF-DOH and then First from DOH-DXB. It has not credited. My partner received EP for the first leg, for me - nothing. Our IB numbers are shown on the boarding passes.
I cant seem to find an email to write to on the website - if I put a PNR and e-ticket different than IB it says that the ticket is not eligible for complaints
Any advice?

If you're already an IB elite, then you should consider emailing or calling your elite line too.

It is 9 digits, and correct - I have no status. I am moving from BA to IB. But my partners IB number also has 9 digits.

Yes, they are not credited to BA. My account is even older than my partners and he got the flights credited within the same day. For me - nothing.

I have no idea why a BA marketed BA operated flight would not credit and then declined twice (due to "conditions") and then your partners QR flight got the credit but yours didn't (same ticket right?)
Can you do an avios for thoughts to see if your account is active?
