Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points
Etihad Guest is the frequent flyer program for Etihad. There are four tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
The Etihad website is here or you can top up your account by buying Etihad miles here.
Etihad Guest does not have its own UK credit card but you can transfer points earned from The Platinum Card from American Express (high fee, high bonus), the American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Credit Card (free for a year, good bonus) and The American Express Rewards Credit Card (no fee, small bonus!).
