All 180,000 for me and my wife have posted and the planned trip is already booked (MAD->LIM, LIM->MAD->LHR)! Machu Picchu here we come!

Rob, thanks so much for your calm and well-informed reporting on this! Other blogs were doing so much click baiting.

I got my 90K. None for my wife as yet despite her Iberia Plus number showing on all the booking confirmations.

Presumably still a work in progress….

  Is your account an active account by any chance? My husband received most of his (9k short) but I haven’t received any. We booked almost at the same time. The only difference is that his account is an active one while my account is an old one with no activity for a few years.

    Last activity on her account was December 2016. Last activity on mine was November 2017. So not that long ago in either case really, but hers was longer ago.
    
    I made all bookings for both of us together. If it doesn’t apply tomorrow we’ll email them.

    Same – my 90 in, none for wife. 10 bookings each for the 2 of us. Not sure if her account ever ‘activated’ but is a few years old.

Cheers, got them through.
While I am aware of what they can be spent on, I still don’t have any clear idea of what I will do with them.

    Not too soon though hopefully to let those who do the legwork themselves take the best prizes 😉

Thinking I’ll use them for a trip to Columbia so I can kick & thump everyone I meet and then plead innocence when they complain !!!!!!!!!!!

  Yeah same here – have booked one leg and was trying to combine Avios from BA INTO the Iberia account but it doesn’t work 🙁

    Oh actually I managed to get it to work this morning – transferred from BA into Avios.com and then onward into Iberia.
    
    So booked myself tickets to Santiago and Buenos Aires on Iberia Business! 🙂

  Glad I’m not the only one. In for the full 90K with an old account (but no activity) – nothing showing yet.
