If I am reading that post correctly, it suggests that one's IB Plus account has to have earned at least one Avios before transfers from MR are allowed. As far as I can tell from the post, the 90-day restriction only prevents you from transferring BAEC Avios into Iberia Plus.

If my reading is correct, then it should be pretty easy for the OP to earn a few IB Plus Avios quickly. Car rental? Hotel stay? Online shopping mall?

Thereafter, there should be no problem converting MR points, or immediately redeeming the resulting IB Plus Avios, correct?
