Overview
- The Rent Day promotion runs November 1 from 12:00 a.m. ET to 11:59 p.m. PT for transfers from Bilt to Etihad Guest.
- Bonus size depends on Bilt status: Blue 25%, Silver 50%, Gold 75%, and Platinum 100%, with transfers made in the Bilt app.
- At the 100% tier, a JFK–Abu Dhabi first-class award that prices at 160,000 Etihad miles can be secured with 80,000 Bilt points.
- Writers highlight severe Etihad Guest penalties on award changes and cancellations, with mileage forfeitures ranging from 25% more than 21 days out to 100% within 24 hours.
- Etihad Guest miles expire after 18 months of inactivity and extensions typically require crediting a flight to the program, so stockpiling is discouraged.
