[samiam]

Not sure if this is old news...

Etihad Guest Gold Elite is a whole new rewards tier, designed to recognise and reward our highest achievers amongst our Gold tier. It’s our way of acknowledging your loyalty and support which has helped us to achieve so much in the five years since we launched our award-winning loyalty programme.

Etihad Gold Guests who earn 125,000 Tier Miles or 60 Tier Segments within any rolling 12-month period will be upgraded to Etihad Guest Gold Elite. This will grant you instant access to a world of additional benefits on the ground and in the air, including:

• An exclusive rewards section on the RewardShop
• A Guaranteed Coral Economy Seat if booked 12 hours in advance
• Diamond First Class Lounge access
• 20kg Excess Baggage Allowance
• The chance to nominate one Etihad Silver Guest
• 3rd Party Nomination

Exclusive offers with programme partners and many more

Certainly preps Etihad for programme alignment with AirNZ and the proposed DJ Platinum.

A little more information on this.

Etihad Airways has added a Gold Elite tier to the Etihad Guest loyalty program.

Ethiad Airways last year scooped the title of World’s Leading Airline at the World Travel Awards.

Etihad Guest Gold Elite members will be able to enjoy increased benefits such as an excess baggage allowance of 20kgs, access to Diamond First class lounges, seat guarantees at 12 hours’ notice and a personalised shopping experience at the online Etihad Guest Reward Shop.
