Etihad Airways extends benefits for loyalty members

Members of Etihad Guest, Etihad Airways’ loyalty programme, can now spend their miles at select malls in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain through a new mobile app. They can also use the app to keep track of benefits, track rewards and find offers.

Etihad Guest members who link their Visa card credentials to the app can earn and spend miles when they use that card across all stores in Yas Mall, World Trade Center Abu Dhabi Mall and Al Jimi Mall.

Up to five Visa cards can be added to the app. UAE-based members who link their Visa card will earn one Etihad Guest Mile and one Tier Mile for every Dh3 spent. Additional mall benefits will be added soon.

Robin Kamark, Chief Commercial Officer, Etihad Aviation Group, said: “At a time when travel is restricted, Tier Miles, usually only earned by flying or spending on an ADCB or FAB co-branded Visa credit card, will now be rewarded to members for everyday spends, helping them move up to the next level in the Etihad Guest programme.”

The scheme is open to all UAE residents that are signed up to the Etihad Guest frequent flyer scheme.
