Earn Status Miles and Qualifying Segments
Status Miles are miles that are counted to achieve the different tier levels of the Program– Blue, Silver, Gold and Platinum. The more Status Miles you earn in a given program calendar year, the higher your membership tier. Each Status Mile you earn is valid within the program calendar year it is earned. Status Miles are different to Award Miles in that they can only be earned in few ways. A tier Qualifying Segment is any Ethiopian Airlines flight excluding flights with award tickets. You will need to have earned the required amount of Status Miles or flown the minimum number of tier Qualifying Segments in a program calendar year (January 1st -December 31st) to upgrade to the next membership tier or maintain your existing membership tier.
As you fly more with Ethiopian Airlines and our partner airlines, and advance to the next ShebaMiles membership tier, you will enjoy greater privileges in accordance with your membership tier, such as bonus miles, extra baggage, priority check-in, boarding and baggage handling, lounge access and much more.
There are four levels of ShebaMiles membership that determine the benefits you receive when you travel. When you first join the program, your default membership status is Welcome (entry level). From there, you can upgrade to Blue, Silver, Gold, and then Platinum.
Status Miles and Qualifying Segments help determine your ShebaMiles membership level. The more Status Miles or /and Qualifying Segments you have in a given calendar year, the higher your membership tier.
- On signing up for the ShebaMiles programme, an individual will be enrolled as an ShebaMiles Welcome Member.
- Achievement of any ShebaMiles Tier depends on accrual of Status Miles or Qualifying Segments within a program calendar year- January 1st to December 31st.
- Mileage credit from flights can happen instantly on the activity date (Flight date) or a later date post the completion of the actual flight activity. ‘Activity Date’ is the date when the ShebaMiles member performs the eligible activity and ‘Posting Date’ is the date on which the ShebaMiles miles for such activities are credited into the member’s account. Membership Tier is reviewed for Status Miles or Qualifying Segments accrued for eligible activities undertaken for Flight Dates only.
- All Members can download a digital membership card on the Ethiopian website or mobile app.
