Y... They should open J and F too, now that would be some deal.
BTW the link in the email I received did not work so I am glad the information is on FT, thanks!
Also this seems to be a rushed offer, I see a few typos: Montral, JKF... I wonder what they are up to.

Missing vowels from the two cities already mentioned - and they added a consonant to Iberia:
My email links didn't work either and I couldn't find the promo page until I came to FT...

Fuel surcharges kills this (as usual). Although I did notice the same discounts can be had from the Iberian website. Roundtrip from ORD to MAD on Iberia is pricing out at 20,400 avios + $206 at Iberia.com. The same is pricing out to 20,400 + $589 on BA.com.
Might be some deals to be had on Iberia.

I spotted this too, but the pedant in my concluded that flights to Madrid are indeed Iberian. Not consistent with the other headers but also not incorrect.

That said, the webpage for the offer seems to have been slapped together. It refers to fights from "Orland" and "Montral," and "Iberian" flights to Madrid. New York JFK is identified as JKF if you fly on BA or Open Skies, fortunately if you want to fly on "Iberian" you can depart from JFK.
I get it, they're just typos, but given that the email links to the wrong page as well, clearly the varsity team didn't design this one.
Edited to add: the joke's partly on me, I didn't see several others already caught these!
