Iberia Transfer Partners
If you are little short on Iberia Avios, you can always transfer points from Amex, Chase, and SPG to your Iberia account. Points transfer at a ratio of 1:1.
Option 1: American Express Membership Rewards
You can transfer American Express Membership Rewards at a ratio of 1:1 with a minimum of 250 points, and points typically transfer instantly. Transfer points earned from The Platinum Card® from American Express, your Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express, or The Amex EveryDay® Credit Card from American Express.
Option 2: Chase Ultimate Rewards
Chase Ultimate Rewards can be transferred to Iberia at a ratio of 1:1, with a minimum transfer of 1,000 points. Transfers are typically completed instantly. Points earned from your Ink Business Preferred℠ Credit Card, Chase Sapphire Reserve® or Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card are easily transferred over to Iberia Avios.
Option 3: Starwood Preferred Guest
Starpoints can be transferred to Iberia at a ratio of 1:1, so points earned from the Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express or Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express can be used towards your next award ticket. Remember SPG has a built-in transfer bonus, which gives you a 5,000-mile bonus when you transfer 20,000 SPG points, giving you an effective transfer ratio of 1:1.25. Transfers to Iberia typically take 1-2 business days.
Our Take
If you are looking to head over to Europe during the travel period, then this promo is well worth checking out. With travel dates more than 6 months in advance you have ample time to choreograph your plans to get the best value out of your points and miles.

Thanks! So I need to change my flight to London and include stopover in Madrid
I don’t know. I’ve been reading people having issues getting their miles over. I believe they have some restrictions if you just open the account. How long after you open an account can you transfer from Chase?
Not given too much time to book this, but long off dates. I’m apprehensive about Iberia.
You can also transfer from british airways avios as long as your Iberia account is over 3 months old.
They also have an interesting option to use less miles and have a cash copay. Similar to cash and points booking with ihg.
I think that you can also transfer Avios from your British airways account to your Iberia account. Though there are some caveats such as the accounts have to be open for a certain amount of time before transfers are allowed. It’s a useful way of using Avios without the fees imposed by BA.
That’s a good tip thanks. I have a BA account but wasn’t aware it can be transferred to Iberia
Thanks for the heads up. Looks great!
Thanks, great way to save some money on my trip.
A way to avoid BA fees, but I’ve never been a huge fan.
Do they offer international flights between NA and Asia?
Tokyo!
Thanks for this post. Had a couple trips planned, so I will research some more and see if I can take advantage of this!
Love IB redemptions, lower taxes than BA and now less miles!
Definitely a good saving compared to the BA prices – but do keep in mind that your Iberia account had to be open for 90 days [bit more than 3 months now, due to February] before you can do the points transfer.
Thanks for the info.
It is really nice seeing discounts such as this one.
This is great info. Thanks!
very nice that this is for all classes of service
And Shanghai.
Those two Asian cities also are being discounted, although Iberia may not be promoting this to American members.
Iberia redemptions are much better value than BAEC ones anyway, so with this discount it makes it very attractive indeed.
I don’t have an Iberia account and the limited time frame for opening an account puts me out of the loop on this promo.
Sign up now. It is free.
Is there any Idea on how to save with the Taxes and Fees starting in Germany?
Don’t start in Germany. Same problem with the UK and France as well.
Great info! Thank you! Now I have to squeeze a trip into already busy year all thanks to points & miles!
Thanks for the heads up!
I’m not too sure what is new about the search engine, it doesn’t look any different to me. Although I admit I don’t use the Iberia search engine too much, so maybe I just can’t remember. I’m surprised if they have made changes as I thought Iberia and British Airways are going to be moving onto the awful Avios.com platform soon.
Ahhhhhh, a new game in town for me!
Craig, Thanks for the heads up re Shanghai as an option as well.
Thanks! Need to simulate my trips on Iberia! It might be worth transferring my avios from BA
This is great! Anyone know the stopover rules?
Iberia charges per segment, so stopovers don’t really exist. Just book what you want and you pay per segment.
Drats. we have already booked a couple of flights. The promo is great but not enough to pay a fee to cancel and rebook.
The fee is quite small with Iberia; less than $50 if I remember correctly.
Not sure why, but Shanghai isn’t being discounted online. Even though the promo theoretically includes “Asia” and Tokyo does get the discount.
Iberia IT is definitely dodgy…
Tokyo route is interesting.
Which type of aircraft Iberia fly from Madrid to Tokyo?
What is free baggage allowance for this route ?
Baggage allowance will depend on the fare you purchase. As for aircraft, I’d recommend looking at the potential flights you’d take and check for that specific day.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT THIS IS FOR ALL LEVELS
We do too 🙂
Just booked a flight with this promo. Thanks for the info
Depends on the currency you paid your taxes in. I believe it is $40, but you can make it 25 euros if you pay in euros in the first place.
I’ve had good luck finding award availability on Iberia too!
just booked a trip to Spain
