25% bonus on points transfers to Etihad Guest

Etihad Airways is currently offering a 25% bonus on conversion of various partner points to Etihad Guest miles, including transfers from Membership Rewards, HSBC Premier points, Hilton HHonors, Hyatt Gold Passport, Club Carlson and IHG Rewards Club

While the American Express Membership Rewards terms single out certain countries, it seems that this is an (inaccurate) reference to those countries in which you can transfer from Amex to Etihad Guest, rather than those countries that will benefit from the 25% bonus. I am Malta-based, and can certainly transfer from my Malta Amex to Etihad Guest: I believe I will also qualify for the 25% bonus.

Otherwise, it seems that with the exception of the HSBC Premier points (UK only), all the other points schemes mentioned above will get the 25% bonus, regardless of where you are based.

The bonus applies to transfers made before 6 June 2015.  

To benefit from the bonus, simply transfer your points to your Etihad Guest account as normal – on transfer, Etihad Guest will add the 25% bonus.

Etihad’s First Class redemptions between the UK and Abu Dhabi – at 55,000 miles plus as little as £15 in tax – are one of the best airline mile redemption options out there. We also set out all current Etihad sale fares on our dedicated page here.
