ANZ renews its partnership with Air NZ Airpoints

Air New Zealand and ANZ bank have renewed their partnership relating to the Air New Zealand Airpoints programme.

Following a successful initial five year term, ANZ has signed for a further five years. In doing so, ANZ Airpoints Visa card holders now benefit from even better Airpoints Dollar earning rates on their credit card spend.

Air New Zealand General Manager Customer Value Hamish Rumbold says the renewal of the partnership with ANZ is significant for the airline and its loyalty programme.

"ANZ has been a key partner of the Airpoints programme for five years now offering its customers two Airpoints earning credit card options. The renewal of our partnership is great news for ANZ Airpoints Visa card holders who are now able to earn Airpoints Dollars on their everyday spend up to 20 percent faster."

ANZ Managing Director of Retail and Business Banking, Fred Ohlsson says: "ANZ is delighted to have renewed its partnership with Air New Zealand, and to be able to offer even better Airpoints benefits for our customers, available from now. In addition to customers being able to earn Airpoints Dollars faster, Platinum customers can now also earn complimentary Air New Zealand Lounge passes for every $20,000 spent on eligible purchases each year."

ANZ Airpoints Visa Platinum card holders now earn one Airpoints Dollar for every $75 spent on eligible purchases on their card while ANZ Airpoints Visa Classic card holders earn one Airpoints Dollar for every $120 spent on eligible purchases on their card.
