Transfer Amex Membership Rewards to Iberia Club (Avios)
The published transfer ratio is 1:1. Right now there's a +30% bonus running through Sep 27, 2026.
SECONDARY SOURCE (in-account Amex offer, no public first-party page found): the cited tracker article (fetched 2026-08-08, HTTP 200) reports a 30% bonus to the Iberia, British Airways and Aer Lingus Avios programs expiring September 27, 2026, and three further independent trackers checked the same day agree, so 1,000 Membership Rewards points become 1,300 Avios (the trackers list the deadline as 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time). Minimum transfer 1,000 points in 1,000-point increments. Iberia's off-peak transatlantic business class awards are a classic Avios sweet spot with lower surcharges than British Airways, and Avios move freely between the partner programs. Confirm the offer renders inside your Amex account before transferring, because transfers are non-reversible.
