Here are the important T&C:

Bottomline
While I usually do not recommend transferring hotel points to a transfer partner, in this case if you have any stray hotel points it may be a good idea to initiate a transfer.
What do you think about the current promotion from Etihad?
I was thinking of transferring some of my AmEx points to Etihad and redeeming them on a Jet Airways flights. The 20% bonus would have come handy, if they hadnt excluded AmEx.
