    Out of interest, how would I go about opening an Iberia Avios account? I already have a main Avios account and a BA one. Any info appreciated ...

    Just go to Iberia.com and do it.

    Wait 90 days. Transfer 1 Avios across to it. Then price up dares when you want to redeem. Transfers of Avios are instant.

    Bear in mind an Iberia Avios account needs to have been open for 90 days and had at least one Avios credited to it before you can transfer to/from BAEC or Avios.com

    I'd kill to easily earn more Avios...ok maybe not kill...but they're like gold for short haul flights, especially those abroad which cost a lot of $ (Qantas/LAN I'm looking at you!) and near impossible to earn in Australia (SPG aside).

    It has been known for people to sell login details to accounts on certain auction sites......I have tried it myself a few times 5 or 6 years ago with very good results

    Thanks....just a bit concerned about what else is in the account that someone could access Ie my personal data etc. How did you mitigate this?

    I've got Lloyds Bank Duo Avios card so this must be a different product? Can only see the rewards of Avios, nothing else ��

    If you travel BA, you can open a BA Executive Club account and transfer the Avios across and redeem where more convenient (Avios site or BA site).
