About Etihad Guest SBI Premier Card
The Etihad Guest SBI Premier Card is a semi-premium, airline co-branded credit card launched through a collaboration between SBI Card and Etihad Airways. It offers rewards in the form of Etihad Guest Miles, which can be redeemed instantly for travel bookings or products via the Etihad website. While it’s designed for frequent Etihad Airways flyers, the rewards rate is relatively low, making it less competitive compared to top travel cards.
Although it comes with perks like domestic lounge access and a companion voucher on meeting annual spending milestones, the overall value-back is modest, especially given its ₹4,999 annual fee.
If you spend ₹10 lakh in a year, split between two accelerated categories, you can earn 50,000 Etihad Miles. Adding the milestone bonus of 6,000 miles and the welcome bonus of 5,000 miles takes the total to 66,000 miles, which is enough for up to 2 Business Class or 5 Economy Class tickets from Ahmedabad to Abu Dhabi. In comparison, spending the same amount on the Axis Atlas Card would earn 50,000 EDGE Miles, which can be converted to 1,00,000 Etihad Guest Miles at a 1:2 ratio—enough for up to 3 Business Class or 7 Economy Class tickets on the same route.
