The Offer
- Currently it’s possible to fly from US (Boston, New York, Washington, or Chicago) to Spain (Madrid) on Iberia for 6,400 Avios and about $88.
Our Verdict
If you’re interested in the deal I’d recommend reading this Upgraded Points post.
Aaaand I can’t search flights… again. This isn’t the first time this has happened. I have 155k parked in the account. Is there an agency within the EU I can complain to and force Iberia to pay me out those miles at their cash purchase value? I know the question sounds insane, but the EU does have much more strict rules on this kind of malicious behavior than the US does so you never know.
This is an insane deal
Iberia Website and their IT is very very bad. Is it down and not working now? Got errors when searching (any days!)
I can never get their website to work when searching with Avios. Cash flight searches always seem to work though….
By design
Had this problem with P1 and P2 acct. I googled it and apparently they need your passport info to correctly build your account profile otherwise their whole website breaks when you log in (we couldn’t even log in).
I contacted them through Twitter DM chat and had to send a scan of my passport (yes, sketchy but I did it). Google indicates this fix is somewhat common per others’ reports.
Ridiculous.
Once i got the passport sent, and they reset my password, I waited ~12 hours and it worked the next morning. I could search for award flights and they actually showed. Before that I had trouble logging in and never saw any award flights no matter cities used, dates, 1 way or RT etc.
