I really wish I could post a URL, but if you go to the "How to get Elite Points" page on Iberia's website, it specifically mentions that you *can* get Elite points from flying LEVEL. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have many details beyond that. So what I meant by "convert to oneworld Sapphire status" is that I'm hoping to get Iberia (or some other oneworld program) elite points on the LEVEL flights and eventually track up enough to hit oneworld Sapphire status with a non-AA airline. Again, however, I'm open to other ideas and am not even sure that's possible.
Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it! And again, apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I thought since I'm not set on Iberia necessarily, it was best to have it as a general oneworld thread rather than Iberia specifically.
