Conclusion
The pickup and drop off only applies to Dubai but also on economy fares that is good. I have taken the trip between these two cities more than few times on Emirates, and Etihad provided cars or using Kareem.
It appears that there is no need to register for the double miles offers. At least, I was not able to find a registration function on Etihad’s website.
