Today I get an email that indicates Etihad now has a direct link for us to claim retro miles online! Watdya know, is this a bad joke or what!
I have been trying for a year now to have my accounts updated to reflect my mileage, without even so much as a reply.
I find Etihad Guest to be among the most disgraceful, and definitely the most unresponsive mileage programs or Airline Companies I have ever come across in my 55 years of international flying on commercial carriers.
So after receiving this slap in the face email from them today I wrote the following to their social media contact:
I am sick and tired of not being responded to.
I have made several requests to have my mileage credited and my old account mileage transferred to my new guest account member number 103288846102.
I explained last year when I submitted my claim to retroclaims@ that I had lost my old account details, including my old email address, I received no response except a new account without any of my valid mileage claims included.
This is honestly crap service.
You have all my details on your "Tap" and I expect to be credited for my flights otherwise I'll be going Emirates in the future.
Please treat me correctly.
I have spoken with a customer service rep, Basha, today who has informed me he is passing my complaint up to " a higher authority", whatever that means!
I look forward to actually hearing back from a real person about this rather than being totally ignored
Sincerely
Chris

I shall return to update my experience with Etihad here and elsewhere.

Well Etihad it's been another 10 days almost and not a word from you.👎🏻
Today I received my mileage statement and I opened the email in anticipation that my miles would have been credited. Bah humbug, zero, zilch,
It's attached
How hard can it be?
Emirates or Quatar are looking rather better, they at least respond!😡
Please reply.

Hi Chri,

Thank you for contacting us.

There is only one Etihad Guest account active (103288846102 ).

Our Etihad Guest team searched with your name to retrieve your other account with no success. There's an email sent to you in November 2014 requesting for your account details and advised you how to access your account. However, no alternative email from your side until now.

Please kindly advise us if you have any other account number so we can forward to our Etihad Guest team for further assistance .
Thank you! *ZD

This is exactly what I expected.
Please find out why they have not credited me for the miles I flew in May and October 2014. Those miles were submitted within the six month window. I have already been told you have those details on TAP so the only reason I can think of that you have not credited me is pure bloody mindedness.
Or is it that Etihad doesn't like giving miles on Virgin purchased flights? A bit like Etihad refusing Virgin access to their lounges, but I suppose you don't want to remember those rubbish times.
I have no record of Etihad contacting me, on any of my devices, requesting further details please have them resend that communication, or have they lost that too?
My initial account was established circa 2003, under my full name with a different, active email address that I explained I could not and have not accessed for a couple of years.
Anyway, thanks for the reply, I appreciate your effort and look forward to having this resolved.
