That's the way it is. Book in euro with a (high earning) no FX fee card.

Any route lower than $33 as of now?
Also will booking a family on one res. do the deal for each pax?

Are you booking 10 seats on the same flight for the same passenger? Doesn’t seem to intelligent...

No, but a group of 9 on one flight, will that earn 9k for each passenger?

Yes, just make sure that all passengers are booked with the FFN.

Seeing some data points that accounts have to be open for 48 hours prior to booking for the FF number to attach to the reservation. My reservations were booked when logged in but when I go to “manage booking”, it doesn’t display the FF number. Anyone have any info/ ways to skirt this?

Update: after waiting on hold for about 40 minutes, 2 Iberia reps confirmed to me that even though the FF number isn’t showing (takes 48 hours after account open to fully activate), the 9,000 avios per flight will still post to the account. Phew.

When you go in manage booking all reservation come automatically up, or you need to put in the reservation code and surname?

None come up. You have to manually enter last name & booking code. Take a screenshot of each res as you do it because not all of their email conf’s come in and that’s the only way you’d have to booking ref.

All my emails came with the IB number also. But on the recently opened accounts, when I actually when to “manage booking”, the IB number wasn’t there, as opposed to my account that had been opened for months which the IB number WAS there. Hope I’m being clear, sorry if not.

I'm having issues making an account. Is it better to first call the service center confirm the account and then book flights? Or have the service center confirm account and then manually add to all bookings after? Time is of the essence of course.

Missed that. Did a few IBZ-MAD various dates, as well as VGO-MAD for the rest.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
