You can get 25% off awards to Madrid from:

The discount applies to one-way or round-trip tickets. Note that Iberia does add surcharges to award flights, which usually run $100 to $200 round-trip.

- 17,000 Avios points one-way in economy (Off-Peak)
- 20,000 Avios points one-way in economy (Peak)
- 34,000 Avios points one-way in Business Class (Off-Peak)
- 50,000 Avios points one-way in Business Class (Peak)
So with this promotion, you could book the same off-peak flights for 12,750 points in economy and 25,500 points in Business Class.
Iberia flights to/from Miami or Los Angeles normally cost:
- 21,250 Avios points one-way in economy (Off-Peak)
- 25,000 Avios points one-way in economy (Peak)
- 42,500 Avios points one-way in Business Class (Off-Peak)
- 62,500 Avios points one-way in Business Class (Peak)
With a 25% discount, you’d only need to pay ~15,938 points in economy or 31,875 points in Business Class during off-peak dates.
Iberia Avios points are easy to come by, so collecting the points you need for this sale likely won’t be an issue for most. You can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards, AMEX Membership Rewards, and Marriott points to Iberia. And don’t forget that British Airways (or Aer Lingus) Avios will transfer to Iberia as well. But there are some tricky rules to be aware of – check out this guide for more details on transferring points from British Airways to Iberia.
