From the booking and email confirmation, it says "refund permitted for a cost (aka Euro 25)", but when you click the 'i' button it expands with more information whereas it further says refund only permitted on IB, YW,I2 and BA. This is so misleading in my opinion.

Was able to speak to a CSR manager on the phone, even he can't refund this ticket or change it to a cheaper route (MAD-BCN for 4,500 avios). He recommended me to file a claim on Iberia website.... but my flight departs in 3 days...

Any help is truly apprecaited :-)
Award tickets on American Airlines are totally non-refundable and non-changeable. Perhaps your travel insurance can refund some or all of the cost.

And next time don't book partner awards via IB+ when you could book the same itinerary on ba.com....
