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.

Is this also true with Vueling Avios?

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.

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? Than...

@Ben Not unless things have changed (like this morning), BA has for the past couple of weeks stopped the transfer of Avios between accounts due to fraud.
