  I’m 9000 miles short 🙁
  I can see this being a pain to rectify.

    Me too. 81,000 instead of 90,000. Though I did score a penalty tonight. Twice. 🙂

  Mine landed (54,000) and I have booked 2 x business class London to Madrid which I needed anyway. Net cost £270 compared to published price of £650 plus.

  So a MASSIVE thank you to Rob for the articles explaining this offer, and the contributors with their comments. I got the original Iberia email but couldn’t quite see how to make it work for the flights I needed to book, but after the explanations and comments on this site 20/30 mins of my time has saved me nigh on £400.

  Thanks.

      1st article: ‘What happens, though, if you transfer the Avios you earn under this promotion to British Airways? Does that count as ‘redeeming’? Or will your Iberia Plus account go into negative territory on 1st December?’

      2nd artcle: ‘Transferring the Avios to a BA account instead of using them through the Iberia Plus programme will result in a negative balance in your Iberia account on 1st December’
      ‘Spending those Avios will not be totally straightforward, however, and will leave you with some mess to tidy up, even if it is nothing more than having to abandon your Iberia Plus account due to a negative balance.’

      I thought Raffles got it in writing from IB Marketing that the points COULD be transferred to BAEC…

        i feel duped now 🙁

        • Rob says:

          Yes, I have an email from IB which specifically discusses what would happen to your IB account (ie the implications of a negative balance) if you did transfer out. Clearly not contractually binding though as you have needed such an email to be sent to you personally.

  I can’t seem to transfer my 45000 Avios to Avios from Iberia ????any advice and help please?
  There seems to be issue with Combine my Avios after l spoke to Avios team. Anybody else having issues?

    They have switched CMA off for Iberia due to the terms of this promo. Doubt you’ll get them out of IB. Maybe doing it over the phone might work but I doubt that also. Avios > BAEC still works fine for me but in and out of IB blocked.

• matt says:

  @Rob – didn’t your first article advise that we would be able to transfer out to BAEC? And that any negative balance would sit on Iberia?

  Now it seems we cannot even transfer out?

  • Rob says:

    4 Jul4 July 13:44

    I have an email from Iberia which discusses that but clearly it is not contractually binding.

    • matt says:

      well great as that is…if one can’t use the redemption, one has lost money based on your advice. Should have flagged the risks up on this more

      • the real harry1 says:

        4 Jul4 July 14:06

        matt – were you running a points balance in IB, ie before the promo points dropped in?

        Why can’t you redeem via IB?
