Etihad Guest is offering a bonus on point transfers from a handful of other loyalty programmes. You can earn a bonus of up to 35% more miles on point transfers from a limited number of partners by 15 December 2023.
As usual, the promotion is tiered. The more points you transfer, the bigger the bonus. You must move at least 1,000 points to trigger any bonus and over 50,000 miles for the largest bonus.
The bonus details:
- 25% bonus miles – Transfer 1,000 – 10,000 points
- 30% bonus miles – Transfer 10,001 – 50,000 points
- 35% bonus miles – Transfer 50,001 points or more
Which transfer partners are eligible for bonus miles?
Transferring points to Etihad Guest from 47 other loyalty programmes is possible. The partners include various loyalty programmes in hotel and travel, retail and shopping, banking and financial services.
However, bonus points will only be awarded on transfers from the following eight partners:
- ADNOC Rewards
- ADCB TouchPoints
- EmiratesNBD
- SHARE points
- Citibank
- Emirates Islamic Bank
- FAB Rewards
- Mashreq Salaam Points
Why is this useful?
There are a lot of loyalty programmes in the UAE. It is easy to build up small balances in multiple programmes. Transferring to Etihad Guest is a good way to pool several small balances that might have otherwise gone unused.
For instance, I earn a small number of ADCB Touchpoints and ADNOC Rewards every year, but never enough to redeem for anything interesting.
These ADCB Touchpoints and ADNOC Rewards could be transferred to Etihad Guest anytime. However, my approach is to sit on the points and wait until Etihad Guest offers a transfer bonus. This typically happens a few times a year.
