  Booked my 10 one way flights from Santander to Madrid on Sunday. 90k avios posted last night. CMA not working nor can I make hotel bookings, just get this

  “We cannot offer you this service at present”

  Booked mine on the phone so I could add MAD-LGW to my return leg.

  Called the Bogota office. Didn’t make any jokes just in case they cancelled my tickets and avios…

  Thanks Rob for all the info provided since this promotion started.

  Have also booked LHR-LAS on F for my birthday. No Concorde Room since it departs from T3 but still should be a nice experience.

  God save HfP 🙂

    No Concorde Room, but the Qantas and Cathay Pacific lounges should make a pretty good substitute birthday treat!

    Also – hear, hear! I echo previous comments about your cautious coverage of this promotion and others, and just how much its appreciated Rob.

      *it’s*
      I hate my phone.

  I have been advised that my account, opened on the Day 1 of the promotion will not be accessible for at least the rest of this week.

  IB+ account years old, never done anything with it before, booked 10 flights on 24 June, verified all have my IB+ number in them but still have not received my points. At a bit of a loss as to why!

    You’re not alone in the blogosphere, plenty in similar circs, I’d just give it a couple of days unless the redemption you have your eye on is selling out fast, in which case give IB CS a call

    • JP says:

      That’s good to know. I only booked it to spend on a hotel so I’m not in any major rush. Just wondered if I hadn’t done something I needed to. I realised this morning that my passport number in my IB+ account was my old one so changed that (don’t know if that will have some bearing). At no point have I been locked out of my account.

        I’m in the same boat. Waiting a few days first.

  Has anyone tried combining their avoid to a BA account that isn’t part of a Household?

  • Nik says:

    4 Jul4 July 08:48

    I have tried unsuccessfully this morning, via the Avios site, the BA site and the Iberia site.
    Avios & BA wouldn’t recognise my Iberia login details, Iberia just said it was unsuccessful

• Andrew says:

  Someone posted a link where you could see all of your bookings on the Iberia site recely, possibly Genghis? Would appreciate if you could post it again as when I try to view my bookings it doesn’t pick anything up automatically and just gives me the Surname/Booking reference boxes. Thanks.

  • Ian says:

    Just leave both the surname and booking code empty and click view booking

  Stupid panic and booked the iberia flights through the app late on Sunday with a long standing account. Any idea if this will be honoured? anyone else done the same?

  • Graham says:

    4 Jul4 July 08:27

    Yes – this is fine. From Iberia’s Twitter:
    “Hi, yes, flight booking from mobile site would be valid for the promotion as well”

    • Sean says:

      4 Jul4 July 10:02

      Thank you. Anyone who booked through the app received their avios? I have not got mine just yet, though did book on Sunday.

    • Matt says:

      Mobile site and app are different things …

  Are BA bookings made through IB+ cancellable/refundable?

  • xcalx says:

    4 Jul4 July 09:14

    Yes.

    • the real harry1 says:

      4 Jul4 July 09:51

      not Blue Class flying BA in Europe

      Full Economy/ Business on BA in Europe are refundable for EUR25

      LH I don’t know T&Cs

      • JPV says:

        Thank you both for the info

    I’m having a nightmare trying to cancel/change a booking which I made late night as soon as the miles posted. Called IB plus call centre and told they couldn’t help and gave another number to call. This number is just a recorded message in spanish stating (I think) than the number is incorrect. Called back and given aother number whiich tells me to call yet another number which is unobtainable. Iberia just tell me that they can’t help with these bookings and to call these numbers?
