If you want to go through all the hoops, 3000 Iberia Avios would easily be worth $60 toward short haul US trips.
Have you tried IB to BA transfer?
I am wondering the route - redeem Iberia then transfer Iberia to BA. The only obstacle is, it cannot be done with household account at BA. So one must dismantle the household account first before trying this mechanism.
