Amex MR Transfer to Etihad
« on: January 12, 2015, 07:19:02 PM »
Anyone know how to circumvent the Amex restriction on transfers to Etihad? Amex and Etihad have a 1:1 transfer ratios in Australia and Britain, but not in the US. I tried using a VPN to access the 1:1 transfer portal but that didn’t work.

In the T&C "offer valid" it doesn't mention USA. Is that enforced ?

Yes. That's why I asked. I ended up transferring Citi TYP from a mismatched account without a problem, but was hoping I wouldn't have to.

Have not tried it. One can probably just make the country on their account one of the ones listed.
