Why is this useful?

There are many loyalty programmes in the UAE. It is very 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 but never enough to do anything interesting. These ADCB Touchpoints can be transferred to Etihad Guest at any time. However, my approach is to sit on the points and wait until Etihad Guest offers a transfer bonus. This typically happens a couple of times a year.
