Club Iberia Plus loyalty programme to be more transparent

Since 1 April 2025 6.5 million loyalty programme members have been automatically integrated into Club Iberia Plus. More than just a name change, the programme also applies new rules.

The biggest change has been in the way points are awarded. Now available at Elite points necessary for an upgrade in membership status are obtained for each euro spent and no longer according to the distance travelled. While this calculation discriminates against passengers who choose the lowest fares, it rewards those who spend more. Which is fair enough!

Nonetheless, Elite points are also earned on the purchase of additional products and servicesThese include seat reservations and priority boarding. Passengers can also earn Elite points when they make purchases from brands associated with the programme. They can also collect extra points on Optimal, Comfort or Flexible fares.

" We believe this is a fairer and more transparent way of rewarding our most loyal customers. What's more, including the possibility of accumulating Elite points with our main airline and non-airline partners undoubtedly strengthens our network and offers our customers more and better benefits "said Beatriz Guillén, Director of Worldwide Sales and Loyalty.

New status for the most loyal members

Access to higher statuses is also simpler. With Club Iberia Plus, fewer flights per year required to access the Plata, Oro and Platino levels. Iberia has also created a new status before accessing the ultimate Very High Traveller statuses (Infinita and Infinita Prime).

Named Platino Primeit offers additional benefitsPlatino Prime offers a number of new features, such as greater accumulation of points, more options for obtaining free cabin upgrades and exclusive promotional campaigns. Platino Prime is only awarded on the basis of euros spent compared with the classic Platino level.
