Where to credit miles from an EY flight
Hi all,
Bit of an odd request here and apologies in advance if this is the wrong place for it. I'm planning a blowout trip early next year to propose to my girlfriend and most likely will be taking a one way long-haul flight ex CMB (afraid I'm not quite up to paying full fare yet :() in F on EY, either to LAX, JFK or SYD. Unfortunately, I'm not as regular a flier as I would like so I'm unlikely to be flying EY much in the near future and, as such, I'm slightly reluctant to join Etihad Guest. My question is, where would be best to credit what will be 22-26k miles which calls be extremely useful for me. I'm enrolled in EK, BA and VS programs a, all with no status and I'm also looking for a *A program to join. Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated and thanks in advance. |
personally i would credit to EY guest. Wait for one of the 3x or 4x miles offers and your 22-26k miles becomes 75-100k which can get you quite a bit.

Many thanks Mike84k, roughly how often do these offers come up?
|
Every 2-3 months this year, but it's impossible to predict whether it's going to continue into the future.

I credit any travel done on EY, GF, QR to AA @:-)

Have a look which airlines are EY partners. Typically this is reciprocal
Pay attention to the booking class EY are a partner of AA and others. EY have a shareholding in many airlines EY is not a Star Alliance airline Be careful about miles expiry. EY have a hard expiry. Use them in the set time or loose them (no possible extension) For earn to burn AA is hard to beat (but that may change) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/infor...help-here.html http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...nt-expire.html http://www.wheretocredit.com/etihad-airways |
Many thanks everyone for your replies. as far as AA is concerned, I am already a BAEC member and mostly based in the UK, it seems a bit duplicitous to add another OW partner.
@mwenenzi, I agree with the issue of the hard expiry, that's why I am reluctant to not acquire miles that will effectively be useless. I only mentioned *A in regards to some EY partners (currently looking at TK anyway as they're pretty good from Accra where I am temporarily). Having read issues with crediting of the triple/quadruple miles offer, I may give that a miss. |

But you have to put those EY miles somewhere. Not a lot of effective choices and the need to keep the miles alive over time. Asiana http://us.flyasiana.com is a Star airline and EY partner (but should check more) http://us.flyasiana.com/C/en/homepag...0&menuType=CMS |
