Etihad SuperSeller is a programme unlike anything else available for Australian travel agents that allows agents who are SuperSeller members to earn points and build a bank of rewards that can be spent on things that really matter to you – from hotels to flights and upgrades to an amazing range of products in their Reward Shop.
Why not earn yourself some points while doing your day job? There is a world of benefits waiting as part of the SuperSeller programme. But don’t take our word for it, the testimonials of some of their members speak for themselves!
But first, how?
Have you ever wished that you could earn miles on your clients’ bookings just by doing your job? Well, *cue happy dance*, you actually can.
All you need to do is sign up, and Etihad will welcome you to a world of rewards and benefits.
Even whilst international borders are closed, you can still plant the seeds and watch your points grow, which will then be ready to redeem so you can set off on your very own adventure once you get the green light to go, go, go!
Keen to get involved? Signing up is super easy, just click here to begin.
Michelle Geagea from Déjà Vu Travel has seen many benefits from the programme, from treating herself to strengthening the relationship with her top clients.
“SuperSeller is a great programme and one that no other airline has introduced. Our job every day is to provide flights for our customers, and the fact that we receive points to spend ourselves is such a fantastic bonus for us.
“We have many ways that we can then use these points. We fly back to Beirut every year and upgrade the whole family using the points! Another way is to reward our own loyal clients. We occasionally will cover the cost of an upgrade for some of our top members, and as you can imagine this goes down very well and is a really good relationship builder to create leads for our business.
“We are also active supporters of a couple of charities, Save Our Sons and Mates on a Mission, and at their annual Gala dinners, we provide flights to help them raise money, all covered by our SuperSeller points we have earned.
“With nothing to lose and miles that do not expire right away, this programme is a definite win-win for all agents!”
Tell me more…
Once you’re signed up, just remember to enter your APIN number in your GDS every time you make a booking.
By doing this, Etihad can credit your account so that you can spend your points however you wish to spend them.
The mileage is based on TPM (ticketed point mileage), which is available through your GDS. You can work out how many points you will earn with this handy mileage calculator.
Your miles will stay active for two years, which gives you plenty of time to spend them.
Another long-haul SuperSeller member, Michael West from Goldman Travel Corporation, said that he is “a huge fan of the programme, the airline and the team,” and “there is no other airline that rewards travel agents in Australia like this.
Since joining Superseller Michael has travelled every year with at least one sector in First, usually the long haul either to or from Abu Dhabi. He also sometimes uses it to upgrade himself domestically on Virgin – last year he travelled to WA for example.
In the last three years, he has been to Germany, Morocco and the UK – which he booked at the last minute when it turned out his whole family was going to be in England for Christmas. Last year when his soccer team Tottenham qualified for the Champions League Final, as soon as the semi-final finished he was immediately on to booking tickets to the final and ended up flying Business to get to Madrid!
“It’s like cash in the bank to me. Everyone who works in travel loves to book trips and has a hunger to explore. As the rewards reduce the costs of flights, there is more travel budget for other things to enhance the holiday and overall experience.”
“The programme has enabled me to travel around the world in style to have some incredible experiences. I feel personally rewarded for my hard work and as the points can be deployed into premium cabins the actual true value is significant! My personal experience onboard then helps me really sell it.”
What are other SuperSellers saying?
The Etihad SuperSeller programme launched in 2012 and many agents have been in the club since it first began.
Chris Moloughney from Emerald Travel said that she joined Etihad SuperSeller in 2012 and “for every sector you sell with Etihad, you receive points. The higher the booking class, the higher the points. Our agency does sell Etihad quite a bit and therefore the rewards have been amazing.”
“Like Etihad Guest, I can use the points to upgrade flights, so I no longer have to ask for an upgrade. Over the last few years, my family and I have all travelled Business class to Europe thanks to this amazing rewards programme.
“I have also offered to upgrade our staff when travelling to Europe – which is our way of saying thank you. I look forward to being able to do this again for our staff when we can get back flying again.
“My advice – join SuperSeller – it’s free and the rewards are real and achievable”.
Joe Khoury, from Worldmark Travel, was a bit of a sceptic, stating, “At first, I thought joining Etihad SuperSeller was going to be a waste of time. Another rewards programme where you don’t really earn any rewards or by the time you earn enough to be rewarded, your points conveniently expire. I was wrong!”
Since 2014, Joe has been lucky enough to be able to book and upgrade his family’s flights on a trip to Abu Dhabi, and reward his staff with Business class upgrades on their holidays too.
“Selling Etihad has definitely been rewarding. They are a great airline. The quick and efficient support and service we readily receive from them is enough on its own to keep selling them. The SuperSeller programme is a welcomed bonus.”
So, bonus points? Yes please!
You heard it here first from agents who have experienced the many benefits SuperSeller can offer.
It’s that easy. Good luck.
