What is to stop you from transferring and booking a ticket with BA for a flight out past 12/1 and then cancelling for $5.60 You technically used your points by 12/1.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Nothing. If you don't care about your IB account that will end up with a negative balance.

If it’s transferred then why need to book a ticket ?

Just cancelled an IB award booking today and want to rebook. The rep told me I would receive my avios back within 48 hours. Anyone with experience on how long this will take. It took 5 calls to get someone who actually could cancel an award booking. I'm concerned I'll miss the 12/1 booking deadline.

Supposedly no changes possible with these promo avios
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

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.

The rep told me I would receive a refund of the points and taxes/fees paid on an AA ticket. Does this mean she was mistaken and I should not be expecting anything back?

Did you cancel already? It's certainly possible.

If this promo has taught us anything, its not to rely on IB (especially not the word of a regular CS rep).

Correct. Maybe taxes...

How?

The big question is whether if ticketed today, will they allow changes after 12/1?

Seems like if it’s in the economy bucket it’s free.

I have nothing that I need to book currently, so I transferred the Avios to British Airways
Will Iberia claw back the Avios from BA? Will Iberia put my account into a negative balance and/or ban me?
I have no idea, but I guess I’m about to find out!

Uch. They emailed me today to call and informed me that I would indeed not be getting a refund. the agent was willing to reinstate the ticket (Which i did), but I don't need the ticket.  Trying to transfer out the remaining 13,000 avios to BA, but the combination pages are not working.

I ended up losing the 90k avios, I naively thought you can book till midnight Eastern time and it was Spain time, I waited till last day because I could not find flights I wanted. 
I was the Best,still the Best, and will always be the Best.
