Etisalat’s More loyalty programme and Etihad Guest have announced a landmark partnership paving the way for Etisalat More reward programme members to convert their accumulated Etisalat More points to Etihad Guest Miles.
Every six Etisalat More points earned can now be converted to one Etihad Guest Mile, which can then be redeemed from Etihad Airways against a wide selection of over 1,800 flight and non-flight rewards from over 200 partners.
Etihad’s Chief Commercial Officer, Peter Baumgartner, said: “We are delighted to announce this new partnership between the nation’s industry leaders in telecommunications and aviation. Citizens and residents of Abu Dhabi and the UAE will greatly benefit from the rewards offered by the loyalty programmes from two of Abu Dhabi’s top brands.”
