Etihad
Airways’ Guest Frequent Flyer program has a launched a partner transfer
bonus similar in vain to the ones we see from Aeroplan, airberlin and other
programs during various times of the year. This one however is not
tiered like the Aeroplan and airberlin offers as it offers a straight 20% on points
transferred from select partners into Etihad Guest miles. The offer can
be found here and is good until November 30th. These are the partners that are participating
- Rezidor – Club Carlson
- IHG – Priority Club
- Hilton HHonors
- Hyatt Gold Passport
- Le Club Accor Hotels
- Shangri-La Golden Circle
- IHG Rewards Club
- Amex Membership Rewards
- Citibank CitiMiles
- Emirates Islamic Bank
- Etisalat Rewards
- HSBC UK
- Mobily
If you are someone who
regularly transfers into Etihad Guest, especially from credit card or
financial partners now is the time to do it. The hotel transfers should
only be done if you need to top off your Guest account for an award or
will never use those hotel points for an award night since the hotel
programs participating don’t have the greatest conversion rates.
Programs like Starwood Preferred Guest which do have attractive
conversion rates are not participating.
More details on this offer can be found here.
