Will transferring to BA leave a negative IB balance? I also have 96k debating whether to transfer or just risk booking a domestic ticket that I might end up cancelling and losing the points.

Question is what happens if you have a negative balance?

I thought with these promo IB Avios that you had to book by 12/1 and you can't cancel or change dates? Can you cancel if you book on Iberia?

No changes or refunds is only for non IB(+subsidiaries) and BA partners (example AA).

And that has nothing to do with the promo Avios, just the IB rules.

It’s possible that if you cancel after 12/1, you’ll forfeit the miles (that’s how it works with other airlines that have miles which expire a set time after they are earned).

Thanks, I guess I'll just either book some AA domestic flights if I can find what I need, or just transfer to BA .
