First up, some shameless self-promotion.

My posts on Best Credit Cards for Skywards Miles and Best Credit Cards for Etihad Guest Miles are two of the most viewed posts on my blog. Also, I am delighted to note that both the posts figure in top Google searches (within UAE).

In this context, one of the readers reached out with a great promotional offer on ADIB Etihad Guest credit cards.

In the above posts, I had also reviewed the ADIB Etihad Guest Visa Platinum Credit Card. I had noted that this card has one of the best earning rates for an Etihad co-branded card. Moreover, the card came with other useful perks including

  • Free companion ticket (any destination, any class) upon spending AED 150,000
  • Etihad Gold Status upon completing two return flights on Etihad
  • Complementary Etihad Luxury Coach service if travelling from Dubai

The problem with this credit card was the high annual fee and low sign-up bonus. This is because, the card comes with an annual fee of AED 2,000 ($540) and offers a sign-up bonus of 50,000 miles.

However, there is a promotion going on which makes this credit card very attractive.

If you apply for the ADIB Etihad Guest Visa Platinum Card, you will get 100,000 Etihad Guest miles as welcome gift. The annual fee continues to be AED 2,000 ($540). To put this into context, the welcome bonus covers a one-way flight in business class from Abu Dhabi to New York. This itinerary can easily cost upwards of AED 10,000. Redemption is subject to availability of course.

But there is more. You get additional 25,000 and 100,000 miles upon achieving a minimum spend of AED 50,000 and AED 100,000 respectively.

Please note, this offer is only valid until May 31, 2019. However, check with sales representative if they can extend this for you. I had done such an extension before and there were no problems (with a different bank).

If you are looking to accumulate Etihad Guest miles, this is a great deal. The annual fee might be steep, but the returns easily outweigh the investment. Also, remember that you can redeem Etihad Guest miles on a number of Etihad partners.
