Get your rent or mortgage paid for a year
Etihad Airways will cover the cost of living expenses for one travel agent in the UK for an entire year in its latest incentive.
The airline is offering to pay for an agent’s rent or mortgage, utilities bills, transportation and groceries.
To enter, travel agents must first register at www.etihad.com/livefree.
Once registered, agents can log into the site to enter details of Etihad Airways flight bookings made between now and 29 February.
Points will be awarded for each booking made: five points for Diamond First Class; three points for Pearl Business Class; and one point for Coral Economy Class.
To be eligible to ‘Live Free for a Year’, an agent must accumulate 12 points during the entry period.
One grand prize winner will be randomly drawn from the eligible entrants and will get a cheque for £55,000.
Etihad Airways will also offer daily mini-prizes, with one iPad and one iPhone to be won for bookings made every weekday in February and one iPad and one iPhone to be won for bookings made at weekends in February too.
There are 25 iPad’s and iPhone’s to be won in total.
There is no minimum entry to win one of the daily prizes so all bookings are entered in to the mini-prize draw.
Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways chief commercial officer, said: "To live for free for an entire year with the peace of mind that all personal living expenses will be taken care of is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We are thrilled to offer this opportunity to our valued travel agent community.
"Our trade partners act as our brand ambassadors abroad, bringing our brand to a wider base of clientele, and we hope to show with this promotion the immense gratitude we have for our loyal supporters."
