Earn 25K Etihad miles for a three day Avis rental

This is an amazing offer

I am seeing three day rentals in many cities priced at $200 all-in. To me, the miles alone could justify the cost of a rental, since I value them at 1.1 cents per mile.

Avis rentals cost ~$200 in many markets

There is a catch to the program. I would only want to acquire Etihad Guest miles at that rate with a specific redemption in mind. I don't want to rent to earn the miles only to have 25,000 guest miles and not know what to do with them.

It's easy to earn guest miles with different points currencies. You have a lot of options for topping off your account with the transfer partners of Etihad Guest.

Bottom line

You can earn 25,000 bonus guest miles by renting an Avis car for three or more days. You could easily rack up 25,000+ miles with a $200 rental, which is one of the best rentals we have ever seen.

If you know how to redeem guest miles, this could be a good offer. If you have any upcoming rental car needs, I would prioritize this promo over a rental car run.
