Etihad Guest

A mile has no fixed flight value. Compare the cash fare with the miles and taxes required for your trip, and use the miles calculator for the published comparison benchmark.

ENBD's Etihad Guest Visa Elevate earns the highest published rate among current cards — 10 Etihad Guest Miles per AED 10 on Etihad spend, for an AED 1,575 annual fee. FAB's Etihad Guest Infinite earns 7 per AED 10 on Etihad and partner spend for a higher AED 2,625 fee. FAB Etihad Guest Platinum remains the most accessible entry point at an AED 8,000 salary.

Match the card to the airline you fly. A Skywards Mile works best on Emirates/flydubai flights; an Etihad Guest Mile works best on Etihad flights. Recurring annual fees on the current Etihad Guest cards range from AED 1,575 (ENBD Etihad Guest Visa Elevate) to AED 2,625 (FAB Etihad Guest Infinite).

Direct Etihad Guest co-brand cards generally carry an annual fee. FAB Etihad Guest Platinum is the lowest-fee entry point at AED 525.

No — the two programmes are entirely separate loyalty currencies with no direct transfer path between them. Each co-brand card credits Miles only to its own programme, so pick the card that matches the airline you actually fly.

Through the Etihad Guest website or app once your co-branded card is linked to your membership number — Miles typically post to your account within a few days of your card statement closing.
