  Just seen the 90000 AVIOS in Iberia account. Went to combine with BA and this came up:
  Combine my Avios was unsuccessful
  Combine My Avios is currently unavailable
  I have broken down my family account in BA as instructed and I’ve had an Iberia account for ages. I’ve combined AVIOS before without issue.
  The phone number given for Iberia does not work
  Can anyone assist in pointing me in the right way to combine the points?

      What exactly are you wanting to redeem them for with BA that you can’t do with Iberia?

      @therealharry1 thanks. yes I was. And I know there is reverse way to pull this in small segments. But the fact it, they clearly don’t want you to do this and so it will be clawed back ultimately. Otherwise why block it in the first place which was different to the advice given.

        They’ve just said you will get a negative IB balance, no more. You can then close the IB a/c – so there’s nothing left to amalgamate with BAEC when the Avios platforms all join up.

  A huge thank you Rob and to the rest of you for your comments and practical explanations. I’m now sitting on 180000 Avios between me and my girlfriend which I’ll use for once in a lifetime business class flights to Lima (£360 total plus the £400 invested originally), and my kids have a further 150000 which they’ll use for a gap year next year. I do have to provide passport copies for those new accounts but that’s only fair. My only disappointment is I didn’t get more family members to enroll!
  An unbelievable promotion which I wouldn’t have taken advantage of without your rational analysis 🙂

    yep it’s ‘an’ email

    we make it ‘an’ before words beginning with a vowel

    Hi Nobil. It seems like many (all?) accounts opened during the promotion are being requested to supply a copy of the relevant passport/identity document. If you try to reset your pin you’ll probably get the message that the account is locked and it will redirect you to download a form with further details which needs to be submitted to Customer Service.

    I don’t think it’s anything to worry about but best get this done soon as I’m sure many more people will be needing this service (including me!)
