Are there instances where I might collect Avios but not Elite Points?

There are some operations where only your number of Avios will increase, but not your Elite Points:

  • Transfer and gift of Avios.

  • Conversion of the currency of another loyalty programme to Club Iberia Plus Avios.

  • Welcome Avios (e.g. when signing up for a new credit card).

  • Promotional Avios collected with Club Iberia Plus bonus rewards.

  • Avios obtained as prizes in competitions and draws (whether for winning or participating).

  • Courtesy Avios awarded as compensation for an incident.

  • Avios collected on flights (such as earning Elite Points on flights directly due to the spend mechanism).

Remember, earning Elite Points for the purchase of tickets and add-on services with Iberia or any partner airlines is subject to the rules of the airline in question. The policy for earning Elite Points for Avios collected only applies to purchases with the brands associated with the programme.
