Does Etihad Guest have a credit card in Canada?

The Etihad Guest program, unfortunately, does not have a co-branded credit card in Canada or the US. This lack of earning potential is one of the main reasons why Canadians will find it fairly difficult to build up their Etihad Guest account balance and take full advantage of the program.

How can Canadians earn Etihad Guest miles without flying?

Canadians can earn Etihad Guest miles without flying through transfer partners and by spending with partner merchants. The best transfer partner in Canada is Marriott Bonvoy, which lets you exchange your points at a rate of 3:1, with a 5,000 mile bonus for every 60,000 points transferred. Other transfer partners include Hilton Honors, ALL - Accor Live Limitless, IHG One Rewards, and World of Hyatt. Etihad Guest miles can also be earned on eligible car rentals, holiday bookings, hotels, and shopping.

Do Etihad Guest miles expire?

Yes, Etihad Guest miles expire 18 months after they're earned. To extend their validity, you must fly with Etihad or a partner airline and credit your earned miles to your account.

Can I earn Etihad Guest miles when I fly with other airlines?

Yes! Although Etihad Airways is not part of any of the three big airline alliances, it has 20+ airline partners with which you can earn Etihad Guest miles. These airline partners are:- Air Canada; - Air Europa; - Air France; - Air Serbia; - Air New Zealand; - American Airlines; - ANA (All Nippon Airways); - Asiana Airlines; - Azul Brazilian Airlines; - Brussels Airlines; - China Eastern Airlines; - EL AL Israel Airlines; - Ethiopian Airlines; - Garuda Indonesia; - Gulf Air; - Hainan Airlines; - Hong Kong Airlines; - JetBlue; - KLM; - Malaysia Airlines; - Oman Air; - Royal Air Maroc; - SAS (Scandanavian Airlines); - Saudia; - SriLankan Airlines; - TAP Air Portugal; - Vietnam Airlines;

Is Etihad Guest worth it for Canadians?

Given that Etihad Guest miles are quite difficult for Canadians to earn, this loyalty program is best left as secondary choice, if that. Because of the limited transfer partners and lack of available co-branded credit cards, most Canadians will find it too much work to earn enough miles for a worthwhile redemption.That said, if you happen to fly Etihad often, then collecting Etihad Guest miles can certainly be of value.

What is the best use of Etihad Guest miles for Canadians?

Canadian travellers will find that Etihad Guest miles are best used for one of the program's sweet spots, such as its partner network in the Oceania region or West Africa, or for the right premium cabin Saver Award redemption.
