Etihad Guest has announced a 25% reduction in tier qualification requirements across all membership levels, making it easier for members to retain or upgrade their status within the programme.

Effective from 18 March, the revised thresholds are automatically applied to all Etihad Guest members worldwide. There is no need for registration or additional steps, and members can continue to progress within their existing 12-month qualification period under the updated criteria.

With this change, members can maintain their current tier or move to a higher level by earning fewer Tier Miles than before. The reduced qualification levels will remain applicable until 31 March 2027.

The move comes as part of the programme’s effort to offer more flexibility, especially for travellers whose plans may have been impacted in recent weeks. By lowering the requirements, Etihad Guest aims to support members in continuing their journey within the loyalty programme without added pressure.

Etihad Guest Tier Miles can be earned on flights operated by Etihad as well as select partner airlines across global networks. Members can redeem their Etihad Guest Miles for flight bookings, hotel stays, holiday packages, and products available through the Etihad Guest Reward Shop.

With this update, Etihad Guest continues to focus on making its loyalty programme more accessible and rewarding, while ensuring members can enjoy benefits even as travel plans evolve.
