Yep - mid Jan here (2 days before they updated the terms to say you can't cancel) and no sign of the points. Funnily enough quite enjoying it so may not cancel after all

Apparently there is a known delay and we can expect these in the next 7 days. We shall see...

I love the Economist but I can't see spending the kind of prices they ask.

Nice, I'm getting CAD $155 (+ GST in ON = 175) for 8000 Avios. App. 2.1 cents CAD per mile. In USD that is about 1.8ish cents.

I'd do it in a heartbeat if I was actually interested in paying for The Economist. For me though this is the equivalent of just buying miles.

Good for short haul flight from say, YYZ-ORD or YYZ-LGA or YYZ-PHL, which goes for about 250-350 CAD which can usually be booked with decent availability for 9000 Avios + $56 RT. Realistically you are breaking even.

use this link http://www.iberia.com/web/webPartner...dPartner=20901

click through and select country as Canada if it is showing you in a different currency.

I've signed up to the Lufthansa / Economist promotion about 1y ago. I kept the subscription but didn't renew it. Does anyone know if I can re-sign again using the Iberia promotion or any of the other Economist miles promo?

Thanks

Bruno, I think you can. I am not 100% certain, but if I recall, I remember others doing so successfully.

Latest economist offer with Avios

Anyone experiencing delays in the credit of the Avios for the latest promotion?

I bought mine in March and it has been more than 6 weeks now with nothing posted.

I wrote to them and now they say it will take 8 weeks??
