The "IBERIA PLUS" Programme (hereafter the "Programme" or "Iberia Plus") offers cardholders the possibility of earning Avios and Elite Points by consuming the products and/or services of Participating Companies and afterwards exchange them for further products and/or services of these Companies. The system for earning and exchanging Avios will be subject to the conditions established by the Programme at any all times. 2. "Participating Companies" or Partners are the organisations that have joined the Iberia Plus Programme through a participation contract. These Companies make certain services available to cardholders, use of which can generate Avios and/or Elite Points or be paid for by charging them to Avios. There are no conditions regarding how to earn/redeem points that apply to the Participating Companies. The holder should check which conditions apply for each product/service offered before carrying out actions to earn/redeem points. 3. "Customers" (Iberia Plus customers) are individuals more than two years old who, having registered with the Programme via www.Iberia.com, have read and accepted the Participation Conditions (Basic and Operational) and signed the card issued in their name. Using the card for the first time means full acceptance of these General Conditions. 4. Your "Iberia Plus card" is personal and non-transferrable. It will identify the customer with his or her details and personal account number, enabling them to participate in the Programme as soon as they have signed it. If you lose your card or it is stolen or has deteriorated, you should report it to your Iberia Plus Service Centre, as the Programme is not liable for any improper or fraudulent use that the card might be put to before this notification is received. 5. Earning Avios and Elite Points are personal on the part of the customer. Avios and Elite Points cannot be exchanged for cash or other goods not specified by the Programme. Avios and Elite Points cannot be added to those awarded by any other Programme in which the Participating Companies take part.
