Go Big! Go Global! And watch those Air New Zealand Airpoints Dollars™ take off.

Want to earn Air New Zealand Airpoints Dollars faster than a speeding 747¹? You're in the right place! (And just so you know, Airpoints Dollars are the currency of Air New Zealand's frequent flyer programme. That's an official way of saying you can buy yourself a great holiday using them.)²

"So how can I earn these Airpoints Dollars?" you ask. Easy. By using your GlobalPlus card for purchases.

Depending on the GlobalPlus card you choose, you'll be able to shop wherever you see the Visa, American Express or MasterCard symbols. Bang! – helping earn you Airpoints Dollars. (Said it was easy.)

It's so simple: You don't even need a current BNZ account to apply for a GlobalPlus card³.

Do you want a trip to Fiji with those shoes?

Use your GlobalPlus card for everyday expenses and your Airpoints Dollars balance will grow really fast. How fast? Check out this table:

Notes for table: Airpoints Dollars earning and travel redemption rates are indicative only and subject to change without notice. Customers who purchase airfares using Airpoints Dollars will be required to pay in cash the government and airpoint changes.

See? Over a year you could earn enough Airpoints Dollars to fly to Sydney or Fiji and back. Just for doing pretty much what you were going to do anyway (buy bread and milk, fill the car up … you get the drift).

What sort of places can you travel to with your Airpoints Dollars? Anywhere that Air New Zealand or their airline partners on the Star Alliance airlines will take you.

You may be getting travel fever already, so here's a tip. You can earn Airpoints Dollars even faster by doing business with Air New Zealand's partners, converting Fly Buys points to Airpoints Dollars⁴, and by taking out a GlobalPlus Home Loan⁵. You'll find more in the Key Features section.

Please remember that credit cards are designed to be a flexible form of borrowing. Paying just the minimum amount every so often can help you manage your cashflow, although we would not recommend that you make just the minimum payments for a long period of time.
