About Etihad Guest SBI Card
The Etihad Guest SBI Card is the basic version of the two cards offered by SBI Card in partnership with Etihad Airways. You earn Etihad Guest Miles on your spends, which can be redeemed for flights, hotels, or other purchases on the Etihad Guest website. The card also offers benefits like free domestic lounge access, a companion voucher, and bonus miles on reaching spending milestones. Here’s a closer look at its features and how it compares with other airline co-branded credit cards.
While the card gives you extra miles on Etihad purchases and international spends, the regular earning rate is low, which reduces the overall value. For example, if you spend ₹10 lakh in a year only on the higher-earning categories, you’d earn 30,000 Etihad Guest Miles. Adding the 7,500 miles from welcome and milestone bonuses, your total would be 37,500 miles. This is enough for either 1 business class ticket (30,000 miles) or about 3 economy tickets (13,000 miles each) from Ahmedabad to Abu Dhabi.
