Air New Zealand Celebrates New Partnership

Customers at every domestic airport Air New Zealand flies to will have more than just luggage to collect at baggage claim.

A nationwide giveaway has marked the launch of Air New Zealand’s new loyalty partnership with Woolworths' Everyday Rewards. This partnership offers customers fresh ways to earn Airpoints Dollars through everyday shopping.

Starting on the 2nd of December, Air New Zealand’s Airpoints programme members can convert their Everyday Rewards points into Airpoints Dollars, making it easier to get closer to their next getaway.

With 2,000 Everyday Rewards points equating to 15 Airpoints Dollars, this new partnership opens doors to faster and more rewarding travel opportunities.

Air New Zealand Chief Executive Officer Greg Foran said the airline was thrilled to offer its customers more ways to grow their Airpoints Dollars.

“We’re always looking for new and exciting ways to enhance our loyalty offering and customer experiences. Providing more ways to grow their Airpoints Dollar balance is something our customers want, so it’s terrific to be able to introduce this partnership. Our 4.7 million Airpoint members can get closer to that dream getaway, even during their grocery run,” said Foran.

“Thousands of customers travelling on the network today could enjoy a free bag of groceries from baggage claim to take home. It’s a small token of our appreciation for their loyalty and a celebration of this important new partnership. Some lucky travellers will even win an extra surprise in the form of Airpoints Dollars inside their grocery bag.”

Air New Zealand will donate equal value to a local food bank in every region for every bag of groceries given away. Travellers will also find grocery donation stations at all airports, allowing them to pay it forward.

Everyday Rewards New Zealand Director Mark Burger added that the partnership aligned perfectly with Kiwi preferences for meaningful, travel-focused rewards.

“Our research shows that Kiwi customers value rewards that bring them closer to booking that next trip, whether for a long-awaited holiday or a chance to see family and friends,” said Burger.

“By partnering with Air New Zealand, we’re thrilled to offer members a valuable pathway to convert Airpoints Dollars and put them towards their next journey. We believe this partnership will be a game-changer.”

Converting Everyday Rewards points to Airpoints is easy. Members must be enrolled in both programs and select Airpoints as their reward when redeeming their Everyday Rewards points.

Everyday Rewards joins over 40 Airpoints partners nationwide, including Mitre 10, New World, Liquorland, Smith's City, Pet Direct and more, where members can earn Airpoints Dollars.
