Judging by the asinine and uneducated questions in the comment section of DDMS, I’m skeptical that it was the right move to make a post about this. A lot of readers think they’re getting free tickets to the moon, and are going to get totally screwed.

I’m not criticizing the decision to publicize, because this was all over the blogosphere by the time you did. I’m just questioning whether your reader demographic knows what to do with this stuff.

The post had detailed instructions. If they mess it up, it's on them. Dont spend your money on something if you don't understand a) what you are doing, and b) the risk involved.

booked businees flexible for early- to mid 2019 dates which are refundable just concerned  if i use points before i cancel will i have issues getting a refund? Dan mentioned something about getting a negative balance on iberia  if you transfer to ba and the expiration for these points come. so maybe that might be the case if you booked a refundable business ticket far out into 2019 and used up the points before december 2018 and wanted to cancel  the 2019 paid flights to get a full refund would iberia give you refund issues?and in effect make you pay for the avios points you used?

Why are people asking about refundable? These are the sort of questions that get deals killed for everyone. Be happy with buying for .2 cents. Don’t commit fraud or give the airline more of a reason to go after you.

I was just asking for refundable in the event that this promotion is not honored. Was not intending to cancel after I already got the points.

But then it wouldn’t be worth it if the promotion is honored , since you wouldn’t be getting a deal

The 9,000 Avios promotion was still showing at about 9:30 PM this evening when I booked (on the U.S. website), but now no longer populates. I'm in for 5 tickets

Are you booking 10 seats on the same flight for the same passenger? Doesn’t seem to intelligent...
I assumed you can't do that, so I booked 10 flights on different dates. You need to book the ticket with a connection to an avios account, that only works if you are the one flying if I understood correctly, can you even book multiple seats on the same flight with the SAME person on Iberia?
Also if you book 10 separate flights at least there's a היכי תמצא that you might actually take the flights...

The main reason I didn't do this, is that I would only be able to fly domestically between now and 12/1, and on relatively specific dates. I don't trust AA to have enough sAAver space available for it to be worth the risk.

You don’t have to fly by 12/1, just have to book by then. With Iberia, you can book for almost a year in advance.

Ok. But I figured in regards to this I can. They both have mucho experiencia with these things.
