Anyone else get the 90,000 Iberia Avios deal?

Once Head For Points reckoned it was legit I jumped on board at the last minute. Bought ten flights for an average of $48 each. Points came through this morning,

Normally I'd never buy throwaways like this (ok, the rare hidden city maybe) but Iberia did say they were cool with it!

Did it work for any of you BA avois collectors?

i did - for 1 account so far.

here's an earlier thread already started by others - Iberia Avios 9000 points per booking dont need to fly

Thanks - I did search for “Iberia” but nothing recent appeared. Strange.

Apparently these avios are quarantined, in that you can't transfer them to BA.

Yes, I did know that going in. I thought that 2 x J SYD-CNS rt. was worth a punt at $490 (or even 1 x SYD-SIN J rt.)
Now I just have to wait for my (old) account to be unlocked :-/

There is plenty of chatter on Flyertalk that if your account is locked you are about to get an email about "inconsistencies" and saying bookings will be cancelled.

I thought Australia was excluded from the promotion so I steered clear,

It was, I created a UK based account a couple of years ago to take advantage of an awesome Avis Avios deal.
