Hi guys,

First post here and I'm new to being a member of a FF program so please forgive me if I'm being a little thick. I guess this questions would be aimed more at UK based members but if anyone else has any idea then I'm all ears!

So... Like I say I'm new to FF programs. I've been a member of the BA Exec Club since last September and I've managed to get to Bronze and working towards Silver at the moment, I hope to make it before the end of this membership year...

Today I received an Iberia Plus card through the post, I'd completely forgotten that I'd joined the Iberia program! I checked back through my emails and I joined Iberia Plus on the 16th of March - only 11 days ago, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was that prompted me to join the program!

I remember that I read something on this forum or maybe headforpoints or something like that that made me think that I should join but now I can't remember what it was. So, my questions is, is there an advantage to having both a BA Exec Club account AND an Iberia Plus account? From my understanding you share the relevant benefits right across the OW alliance so there would be no reason to be a member of both, right? Or have I misunderstood completely?!

Would be very grateful if someone could clear this up for me!

As an aside, I know that you receive BA tier points whenever you fly on a OW alliance flight, but do you also receive tier points for the airline that you are actually flying with or is it one or the other? So in my example, if I flew on an Iberia flight, would I receive tier points for both my Iberia account and BA?
