Minus 90k for me too. My miles were transferred but spent in BA - as per the terms I'd argue. Lets see if they try to claw them back.

Happy to argue this with them. They added terms to the promo after the fact.

The extra promotional Avios not redeemed by 1 December 2018 will be withdrawn from the customer’s account. The redemption terms and conditions are subject to the general terms and conditions of the Iberia Plus programme.
Avios transfers carried out between the programmes BA Executive Club, the Avios Programme (in the UK), the Iberia Plus Programme and any other programme which may use Avios as currency are not considered movements as they do not involve collection or redemption.

I spent 85000 of the 90000 but transfered my healthy ib+ balance to baec the other day, leaving approx 7k in ib.
Was expecting 5000 to be removed but as of right now the account remains untouched. Exact same situation for my wife.

I should add that my baec account is untouched too.

Dumb me. I tried to book online last minute 11/30 and the IP site would not complete.
I called and the agent stated to wait till 7A, Miami time.
90K points zapped away and its 2:42A, PST and the Iberia Avios team is not there.

Why did people wait until the last minute to redeem their Avios?
It has come up repeatedly here on this forum, that the Iberia website is not the best one. With many errors, glitches, frustrations,... etc.

Mine is screwed up. My balance says -8,500. I redeemed 95,000 for multiple flights using the promo avios plus some of my own. I think it's because my last redemption was close to 6pm eastern time (midnight in Spain).

BA Avios haven't been touched. I managed to protect myself further though by convincing BAEC to delete my old BAEC account, create me a new one and credit the new account with my previous balance. That was only possible because Amex had made an error and not sent my Avios from my BAPP to my existing account, instead creating a new account.

I think some people may have been caught out if they thought the deadline to use them was on the 1st December rather than before. Some of the T&C of the promo were very unclear on this crucial point.

Points are also negative for redeeming after midnight Madrid time. I had some redemption before midnight and some after, ones before midnight don't have the negative balance only the ones done after midnight.

And it's not like we had only 7 days to redeem the Avios (ok, some people were in that situation). But if you got them in july... Jesus...
