Avios collectors can now merge Iberia Club and Vueling Club profiles

You're not alone if you've faced the hassle of switching between accounts to use your Avios for flights when booking on Iberia or Vueling. To make travel bookings smoother, IAG has now introduced a new feature called Avios Wallet that allows travellers to merge Avios from Iberia Club and Vueling Club into one virtual wallet.

This integration enables users to book a reward flight with Avios with either airline, making transferring points between accounts unnecessary.

Here's everything you need to know:

What is the Avios Wallet?

The Avios Wallet is a new feature that simplifies managing and using your Avios by allowing Iberia Club and Vueling Club members to link their accounts. After linking, you will see a combined total balance of Avios available for use through either Iberia or Vueling.

How Does the Avios Wallet Improve the Way I Travel? 

If you collect Avios through one airline programme, you can transfer them for free to another airline. This helps travellers take advantage of better flight deals, for example, when turning British Airways Avios into Iberia Club Avios to book cheaper Business Class flights to Europe.

However, flying Vueling Airlines was previously different because transferring points to other carriers was challenging. With the combined wallet, you can now merge your Vueling Club Avios with your Iberia Club Avios and use them with both airlines. This is beneficial if you often fly Vueling Club and want options beyond Vueling flights, as it allows you to redeem them for Iberia flights.

Linking Iberia Club and Vueling Club Accounts 

To link your accounts:

1. Visit Iberia.com and log into your account.
2. Navigate to the 'My Iberia Club' section and click on “Link Accounts.” 
3. The website will then take you to the Avios Wallet, where you’ll have to log in with your credentials again. It will also ask you to set up another account verification method.
4. From there, select the Vueling Club option and follow the instructions to connect your accounts.

Make sure your account details, such as your name and email, are correct and current — this information needs to match to confirm the link. Once linked, you’ll be able to see both account balances.

Can I View Transactions from Both Accounts?

You can see your combined Avios balance in one place, although transactions will still be recorded separately in each member's account.
