Just a quick note to inform readers… the bonus Avios from the recent promotion are now arriving into accounts.
Hopefully you already h a plan for using them… Good luck!
Thinking I’ll use them for a trip to Columbia so I can kick everyone I meet and then plead innocence when they complain !!!!!!!!!!!
#HaveSomeOfYourOwnMedicine
You’d better save some for Sweden, Croatia and then France / Brazil… 😉
nah. the Columbians played really poorly (in terms of physical violence). I think you are good to go…..if you can find the award availability!
Interestingly (but unsurprisingly) moving Avios from IB to BA isn’t working. Not through IB, not through Avios and not through BA. I’ve got some IB miles in the account from a previous groupon offer and I can’t even move just these miles. Will give it a few days and try again…
Thanks for the data point. I hadn’t thought to try it…
Where does it error out for you? I can get all of the way to the final step, but I don’t want to tempt fate and move my remaining bonus Avios.
Errors out at the final page when you click on “combine”. It seems like they’ve disabled the functionality – whether you try to transfer to BA OR Avios.
I suppose I’m not surprised. The whole idea of an account going minus 90K didn’t seem workable.
Now we need a data point from one of InsideFlyer’s readers who skipped the promo entirely, to test whether the whole Combine Your Avios functionality has been shut down, or just those with promo Avios to spend.
Having same trouble moving BA Avios to Iberia to top up accounts. Very strange!!!
90k received but it was a struggle to transfer Avios out of BA to Iberia to top up accounts. Both Iberia and BA system were not responding at first. All sorted and successfully booked 2 one way MAD to Tokyo Business class after U.K. Easter bank holiday. Fantastic!!! Thanks
Fantastic Mous!
Excellent use of the Avios…
I’ve done a Shanghai to Madrid, and am now wondering why I didn’t max out the promo…
Update: transfer from BA > Iberia working again. Iberia > BA seems to be disabled? That doesn’t make me feel very secure about the long term future of IB points for us UK residents …
“You transferred 500 Avios from Iberia Plus to Avios.” – still works. I skipped this promo…
Very helpful piece of information. Thanks.
My avios still haven’t appeared. Should I be worried? Who can I call/chase up to resolve this?
Iberia customer service would be your best bet. Be prepared for fairly long waits
