Elite Points are earned on spend: 1 Elite Point per €1 of eligible spend on Iberia Group flights, plus a cabin bonus. The flight-count alternative is Plata 20, Oro 40 and Platino 90 Iberia-coded flights within the membership year (1 April to 31 March). Flights on other oneworld airlines show an unknown rate for now, because we have not been able to read the booking-class map that separates full from discounted Economy earning; Iberia-coded flights operated by Vueling or LEVEL, and Vueling-coded flights operated by Iberia, are not priced here. Iberia's own page is inconsistent about Oro: a worked example reaches it on 5,770 Elite Points, against the 7,500 printed beside it; we show 7,500. Of the total Elite Points earned with non-air associated brands, only 30% count towards a tier.
