Question: is there a workaround on transferring Qatar Airways Avios points to American Airlines AAdvantage points? AA and BA have a relationship so there must be a way. Anyone, anyone?
Thanks

Complex process with no room for error. And no one to seek guidance after failed attempts.
As noted, personal details must match exactly.
I needed to delete my BA Family account to complete transfer from Iberia to BA.

Thanks for the heads up that their new process is now in place. I was able to do a transfer today for BA to Aer Lingus that I have not been able to do for about a month.

As AAdvantage becomes the currency of more carriers, I’d love to see the ability to transfer soon.

No luck at all linking BA and IB accounts. I have studied the two profiles 15 times now and all the details are the same, but I keep getting error messages that they don't match.

I have try many times, but
never been successful book flight via Qatar by using BA avois,
and never been successful of transfer avois to / from between BA, Finnair, Qatar.

Get help from avois (BA) via email, looping in send email, capture, details of transaction, wait a few days.

Any one have same issues but have been successful fixed? Please help me.
