Is it just me? Or are these Groupon offers coming more frequently than usual? The deal is the same as always though…
You’re going to need some Spanish language skills though – or a web browser that can translate for you. The offer comes from the Spanish version of Groupon and the Avios are sent to an Iberia Plus account. It is easy enough to sign up for a Spanish Groupon account – if not resident in Spain just choose your favourite hotel and use their address.
The price per Avios jumps around a bit:
- 2,000 Avios for 19 euros (0.95 euro cents apiece)
- 4,000 Avios for 59 euros (1.48 euro cents apiece)
- 8,000 Avios for 99 euros (1.24 euro cents apiece)
- 15,000 Avios for 189 euros (1.26 euro cents apiece)
- 20,000 Avios for 249 euros (1.25 euro cents apiece)
- 34,000 Avios for 429 euros (1.26 euro cents apiece)
You are allowed to buy 1 of the 2,000 Avios packs, and 10 of the other packs.
Here is the direct link for the Groupon offer, although you don’t want to use it…
You want to go to the Iberia website and set your country settings to Spain in the top left-hand corner. Then you want to visit the IberiaPluStore. (which works exactly like your usual cashback or airline shopping portals) There you will find Groupon as one of the options, offering 9 Avios per euro spent (until 31 January, 2018). Once in Groupon, you need to set your city to Madrid and search for Avios.
So… if you buy a 2,000 Avios pack, you will also earn 171 Avios extra via the IberiaPluStore. 2,171 Avios for 19 euros (£17) works out to 0.78p per Avios.
Paying with PayPal should also help avoid any issues with the registered address on your credit card.
Once you have managed to purchase a Groupon voucher, you will need to exchange it for your Avios. I explained how to do it in this post, which you can read by clicking here.
The 2,000 Avios packages tend to sell very quickly. So you’d better get a move on if you want to take advantage…

New customers can use discount code VIVEGRPN for 15% off 🙂 so 14.75 for the cheapest pack!

Wait some time. I had the issue in the past but it worked the day after.

I can’t even seem to login to the iberia plus store.
Richard G says
Hmm… I got past that but they’re not showing as available for me. Oh well.
Beppo says
changing the language from EN to ES normally works.
Lorenzo says
I have purchased 2 coupons but when I go to redeem them I receive the error “Este cupón ya ha sido usado”.. but I haven’t used it yet..!
Craig Sowerby says
Most people are reporting issues of some kind with converting coupons. Hopefully Groupon will sort out the mess before too long.
Beppo says
You may want to try again. It worked for me this morning.
