New Flybuys redemption partner - Etihad Guest

Re: FlyBuys and EY

I'm just wondering if there is an advantage to moving FB points over to EY now as averse to waiting till ready to book? Are there any incentives with a use by date?

The occasional etihad bonus % for transferring miles would be worth waiting for. I think there was one in Dec.

Thanks for that, worth knowing about.

Flybuys transfers were excluded from the offer that time IIRC

Ah OK. I didn't look too heavily into it

Is there an expiry date or do they not expire if you make regular transfers ala QF. Edit: Aha read earlier post should have done so first. My conclusion is to hold them in Flybuys until to be used. At this stage it will be longer than 2 years for me to accumulate.

Etihad Guest miles have finally posted after 6 business days. I'm hoping a subsequent transfer initiated on the 29th won't take as long.

And the subsequent transfer has taken 4 business days. Not ideal when the email states 2 business days.

Waiting on a callback from the partnerships area to explain the delay.

Living in CBR you should be used to bureaucratic delays!!

That's actually quite good in the world of frequent flyer transfers

Re: FlyBuys and EY

Tier miles posted successfully this month so I've transfer some Fb points across and we'll see how long it takes to show up in the Etihad account.

Re: FlyBuys and EY

Points transferred successfully after about 5 days -

Re: FlyBuys and EY

Initiated the latest sweep from FlyBuys to Etihad and noticed now the email confirmation does not mention any timeframe for conversion. If 2 or 3 business days wasn't consistently achievable for them why not make it something like 5-7 instead of removing timeframe guidance altogether?

Will see if the miles hit my EY account on Friday and if not then I'll brave the call centre.

I might be waiting a lifetime for either a 1st class (basic), or closed suite (mega 1st) between SYD & LHR. Below is a notepad written screenshot of 2 different points options (dummy booking used): picture isn't giving an option to upload (using android/tapatalk).

Just went to check Mrs andye's EY account and no Tier Miles posted since 31/3/16.
Have definitely been spending and swiping at Coles-has anyone else's April Tier Miles gone astray?

I could be wrong, but I believe you have to manually transfer them from Fly-buys periodically, I think perhaps when there is a certain minimum number accrued..
