He's risking that account, then what will his brother have? If you say open a new account then do that in your own name, not your brothers. Just my 2 cents.


How do you know he’s not offering the potential upside  to his brother? We can answer his question without delving into his family’s internal dealings

Your outrage helps nobody.

Maybe the avios are for a trip with his brother?

And they have avios from other sources in his pre-existing Iberia account, and doesn’t want to riak duplicTe accounts, (which was actually mentioned in blogs as a risk factor)

Leave the judgement aside, or go to the ethics thread.

if he would get into the points and miles game in 4 years from now he would open an iberia account using his own email address and nothing will happen,my family is not into miles so no preexisting iberia accounts etc , also i read somehwere that it is possible to transfer a maximum of 144,000 avios per year at 24, 000 avios per transaction for a fee  to another iberia account .  would that extend expiration? and is the fee cost worth it, to pay for ?

Nopes. Thank God. He would probably say negatively of this too. Backdating me on his Amex, and watching him MS was what brought me here.

Cite the source.

As far as would it extend expiration - try and find out. It’s clear they want these promo avios to be short lived. Nobody has experience with what works yet.

Now to the problems. I'm seeing certain CX flights as married segments, but not when searching directly. Does call-in help?

How does Iberia price mixed class routings?

Just received this from IBERIA:

Dear customer,

Thank you for your interest in the Iberia Plus programme.

It is a standard requirement of our programme to check the registration details for your Iberia Plus account. To help us do this, please email a copy of the official identity document you used for registration to clasica@iberia.es. The subject line of the email must include your Iberia Plus number in order for us to process it and you must send it to us by 31 July (GMT+2). If the documentation is not received before this date, we will be unable to register you for the Iberia Plus programme and you will not have access to any of the associated benefits.

If you took part in our recent 9,000 extra Avios promotion for the purchase of tickets at Iberia.com, please attach a copy of any tickets purchased during the period and send it to us by 31 July 2018 in order to collect your Avios.

Once we have verified your identification and proof of ticket purchase we will award the Avios due—as per the campaign terms and conditions—to your account.

Kind regards and we hope to see you on board again soon.

The Iberia Plus team

Just got an email from IB with the following:
Quote
The extra Avios collected through this promotion will be recorded in your standard balance and be subjected to special expiration date and terms and conditions, additional to those of the standard Iberia Plus Programme, except for the following:

1-These Avios cannot be transferred or combined with Avios from other programmes or accounts, and they will expire on December 1st 2018 if not used by that date. All Avios from this promotion not redeemed by then will be withdrawn from the customer’s account on December 1st 2018.
2-These Avios may be used via the Iberia Plus Programme from the moment they are awarded up until December 1st 2018.
3-Any purchases charged to Avios from this promotion (redemptions) may be exchanged and reissued, if applicable, up until December 1st 2018, as per the particular terms and conditions of the products purchased. Keep in mind that cancellation or refund requests made by the customer for tickets purchased during the promotion implies withdrawal or cancellation of the promotional Avios, regardless of the refund date.
4-The 9,000 extra Avios from this promotion have been awarded to all customers who used a valid Iberia Plus number when purchasing tickets that meet the campaign terms and conditions via Iberia systems.

I would wait a bit... many people that did not get their points posted yesterday got them today, so it’s likely a tiered process. Many people in the same boat as you.

A friend just got this.
He created accounts, one for each of his children and his wife.

For those that followed Dan's advice regarding the age of the kids, I wonder how that will shake out in the verification process.

I did not anticipate that  Iberia would require a verification process and i opened an account  using a hebrew name under profile name and booked the tickets under a hebrew name.which does not match up with my passport. i want to  change the profile name, but a rep told me  told me I cannot change the flight tickets first name

How? The earliest birthdate they allow you to create is year 2000, which would make an under 18 account a falsely created account.
