targeted email offer per the terms and conditions in the email I received. (Below). There is also a link in the email which contains the partial path below. Haven't pasted the full link with the codes at the end as they may be specific to me or identify me (?? Not sure about this).
Maybe you can call Etihad and request offer or call HHonors direct and ask. I would call the U.S. Number as they seem to sort out things faster.
