I can only see this being 1 of 2 things - 1) it needs to be a perfect match or 2) it matters that it's a US based Amex with a UK BA account?

If it's 1) can I set up an Iberia account with a perfect name match and use this to combine Avios or will this end up with the same problem (no perfect name match) OR if it's 2) is there something I need to do to move my BAEC account to the US?

Thanks,


Sophie
