This is why Avios collectors should have an Iberia Club account (even if they...

Iberia Club is the new name for Iberia Plus, the loyalty program of Iberia - a sister airline to British Airways and Aer Lingus and just like the British Airways Club, Iberia Club uses Avios as its currency of choice. There are, however, a few key differences between the two that can make Iberia Club very useful to Avios collectors.

A nice sweet spot in the Iberia Club award chart (Europe to/from the Caribbean)

The Caribbean is a hugely popular destination for travelers from both sides of the Atlantic, but not only can it be an expensive place to stay, it can also be an expensive place to fly to in any kind of comfort. Fortunately for miles & points fans, there's at least one very economical Business Class award available for travel between Europe and the Caribbean (or the Caribbean and Europe), and it's an award that can open up travel to multiple destinations.

For the next six weeks, Amex is offering a 30% bonus to cardholders willing to convert Membership Rewards Points into Avios issued by three airlines, and in certain circumstances (discussed in this article), this bonus can be put to very good use despite some of the Avios devaluations we've endured in the past 12 months.

Good news: British Airways reduces surcharges on Iberia bookings

For quite a few years, there have been a number of reasons why it has been a good idea for flyers to have an Iberia Plus account as well as a British Airways account despite the fact that BA and Iberia are sister airlines and share the same rewards currency. Quietly and without any apparent notice being given, British Airways appears to have removed one of those reasons.

Iberia Plus Devalues Select Award Sweet Spots (No Notice Given)

Over the weekend, it looks as if Iberia Plus took a leaf straight out of the IHG playbook and made a number of changes to the cost of select awards without giving members any notice at all. While it's always disappointing to see the cost of awards increasing, in this case it's especially disappointing as the changes see Iberia eliminating a number of especially good sweet spots.
