Etihad Guest Above Credit Cards offer a host of benefits to make cardmembership a rewarding experience such as a bonus mile for every international purchase on top of what you would normally earn, fast-track to elite status, a “Miles Multiplier” program that awards bonus miles based on your card spend and many other benefits. And for those who want the miles without spending for a yearly fee, they can opt for two different fee-free versions of the card but still earn up to 1.25 miles per US dollar spent.

Robert Wuhl introduces Gary Leff to present the next award. As you all know, miles aren’t just about flying or staying at a hotel. Every time they make a transaction, they are reminded about your program.
Finishing in the top four are Turkish Airlines Shop&Miles Garanti Credit Card, BalticMiles MasterCard, Lufthansa Miles & More MasterCard and British Airways American Express Card.
Congratulations Miles&Smiles! Ihsan Baytan, General Manager, accepts the award and says,”Thank you very much. It is a great honor for me to be here and accept this very special and meaningful award.”
How much do Turkish Miles&Smiles like their credit card? It’s not a “10” but it’s very close—the card received a 9.29 value rating from cardmembers. And we see why when the card is both an American Express and MasterCard and has the innovative “Miles in Advance” option, where cardmembers can immediately fly for free by getting miles in advance. You have a year to cover your mileage advance through purchases. (If you don’t spend enough, the remaining amount of miles are deducted from your account, or you’ll be charged a fee per mile on your card.)
