now that the points are in a "ba" acct -just may wait till need them and can transfer MR pts if I need some adt'l miles for a ticket -easier than staying on phone with BA for hours
Probably easier to combine avios between 2 accounts then transfer between ba and IB.
(I do know ba is against having 2 accounts, so when combining they might tell you you need to have an household accnt to do that.)
