Heard the news that more peoples' account locked yesterday and BA sent out email to them indicate abnormalies and demand investigation for security purposes.
Process will take 2 weeks. Any news from your side?

My acct was locked over a week but no email received ever, despite the hotline staff claimed they will send me one today/later this evening/tmr... Blah blah.
What exactly that email about? Need to provide any document again?

Successful transfer via phone

Data point: I phoned BAEC to explain my situation (had already sent in verification docs but BAEC mistakenly keyed in wrong DOB, preventing online Combine My Avios). By the end of the call, the agent helped me to transfer 26k (non-promotion CC spend bonus) IB avios to BAEC, and both account balances reflected the change. I am a BAEC blue tier member.

How did you do it ? Did you have any points in Iberia before the 9,000 promo ?

Yes, but you need to have activity in your IB account already.
