Transfer to Etihad Guest with 20% Bonus (More Partners)
I had written about this offer previously. You can transfer your hotel, credit card and other points from selection partners to Etihad Guest with 20% bonus. Now, Etihad has added to the list of selected partners. All the new partners are based in UAE.
Etihad Guest is one of the most versatile airline loyalty programs. You can choose to redeem miles on Etihad or one of its several airline partners. Further, now Etihad allows you to bid using miles for an upgrade.
If you are looking to redeem Etihad guest miles, you should read the ultimate guide – Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.
