i used Amex points as you suggest - my account is 8 digits though.
Unfortunately as far as I can tell, even combining using an Aer Lingus account requires you to use BA as a "middle man". And I get the error message:
Combine my Avios was unsuccessfulCombine my Avios is not available at the moment. Please try again later
when I try this.
Does anyone else get the same error message out of interest? And are you in a Household Account or not?
