while it is true that a member has the option to close his/her IB+ account, it not clear what Iberia’s position would be with regard to the negative balance. Disenrollment is processed by request only.
It is also worth noting that when IB Plus and BA Executive Club eventually migrate to the common Avios platform, the balances belonging to an individual's IB Plus and BAEC accounts will be merged into a single balance. Once the migration is complete, members will be able redeem from and add credit to their single Avios "bank account" from both or any one of the programmes they belong to.
So a negative balance may catch up with you in the not too distant future, in which case all the effort engaging in this promotion will be for nothing.
