Picture
Etihad Guest is updating its mileage expiration policy from 07/31/2020 where-in rather than expiring your miles after 3 years from the date they are earned to a more consumer friendly policy where as long as you have earn/redeem miles activity on your account the miles will be extended for 18 months!

Also in the current climate of COVID-19, Etihad is providing customer friendly change/re-booking policies which can be accessed from this special page. In addition Etihad Guest is currently running a promotion where you earn 1 Tier mile for every point transferred from partners such as Amex Membership Reward Points, Citi ThankYou Points and Capital One Miles into Etihad Guest miles. 

Etihad has few great options for redemption such as American Airlines domestic redemption. You can find the details redemption chart for American Airlines here. It also partners with slew of other airlines on some of which you can get great redemption values. All the redemption options can be found here.

Here are terms of new expiration policy from Etihad which will be applicable from 07/31/2020:
  • The validity of Etihad Guest Miles will be extended based on qualifying member activity. Miles will be extended for a period of 18 months after making one eligible transaction, including earning, spending or buying miles. Miles can be extended to a maximum period of 18 months.
  • Etihad Guest Miles will expire if there is no qualifying activity within a period of 18 months after the last qualifying activity. If an Etihad Guest member does not qualify for the extension, the Etihad Guest Miles balance will expire on the last day of the 18th month after the last qualifying activity, at 23:30 (GST time).
  • The definition of qualifying activities is specified on etihadguest.com and/or as otherwise specified and extant in our valid publications, as issued from time to time.
  • The definition of qualifying activities to extend the Etihad Guest Miles balance is subject to change at any time without notice.
  • The Etihad Guest Miles balance of Etihad Guest Platinum members will not expire as long as the Etihad Guest Platinum Tier Status is maintained.
  • Once a Platinum member is downgraded to Gold tier, total miles balance validity period will be calculated 18 months from the tier downgrade date.
