Etihad Guest is celebrating its 15th anniversary, and as part of that members can receive 1,500 free miles, and can also get 15% off award flights. Let’s go over the details of the two offers.
In this post:
Get 1,500 free Etihad Guest miles
Etihad Guest members can receive 1,500 free Etihad Guest miles by registering on this page. A few things to be aware of:
- You need to register by September 6, 2021
- The bonus miles will be credited to Etihad Guest accounts on or before September 15, 2021
- Each member can earn the bonus once
Personally I value Etihad Guest miles at 1.2 cents each, so to me that’s like $18 worth of free miles — not bad! Furthermore, this will extend the expiration of your Etihad Guest miles, as they expire after 18 months of inactivity.

Get 15% off Etihad Guest award redemptions
Etihad Guest members can receive 15% off award redemptions. A few things to be aware of:
- This is valid for redemptions between August 31 and September 6, 2021
- This is valid for travel through December 31, 2021
- Only award redemptions for travel on Etihad Airways qualify, and you need to be redeeming for economy or business class (first class awards don’t qualify)
- Miles will be credited at the end of the month of the eligible redemption transaction; there’s no registration required
Etihad Guest has a roughly distance based award chart, though pricing does vary. Scoring 15% off award redemptions could be a good deal. Then again, you can also efficiently redeem Air Canada Aeroplan and American AAdvantage miles for travel on Etihad.

Bottom line
Etihad Guest is celebrating its 15th birthday, and as part of that all Etihad Guest members can receive 1,500 bonus miles. Taking advantage of this should be a no-brainer, as that’s quite a few miles to get for free, and this will also extend the expiration of any miles you already have. On top of that, you can receive 15% off Etihad business or economy class award redemptions, which could be a good deal as well.
My 1,500 miles posted but it did not refresh my miles expiration date. Anyone else run into a similar issue?
Link your entire family to your account and pool the 1,500 miles x9.
Had 500 orphaned miles from my last redemption, so I'll take it! A little disappointed the 15% award redemption doesn't apply to partners.
