Tier qualification and requalification thresholds are 25% lower from 18 Mar 2026 to 31 Mar 2027, for members who held Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum on 17 Mar 2026. Status, not award prices - it matters if you fly Etihad enough to hold a tier.
Etihad newsroom · etihad.com · 14 Sep 2026
Bronze, Silver and Gold members' miles are valid for 18 months, extended by another 18 months with any flying on Etihad or a partner airline. Platinum and Emerald members' miles never expire. Transferring bank points in does not by itself extend them - book soon after you transfer.
