Air New Zealand has updated its Airpoints digital experience in the first part of an overall overhaul to the airline’s loyalty program. In addition, the NZ carrier has flights from Australia to North America on sale now until 20 August 2024.
Phase one of Air New Zealand’s new and improved loyalty program offers an enhanced digital experience with phase two bringing new tiers and benefits for members.
The new-look Airpoints program will allow members to easily log in and see their activity and share Airpoints with up to 10 people in NZ in addition to redeeming their Airport Dollars across all Air New Zealand flights and the Airpoints store.
The upgrades will also simplify tier review dates for greater transparency in the first of many improvements.
Air New Zealand Chief Digital Officer Nikhil Ravishankar said: “Over the coming 12 months, Airpoints members will have more earning power with more partners, more rewards and a new tier, further enhancing the value of the program.”
“The refreshed benefits and the new tier will be announced next year – introducing new benefits for Silver, Gold and Elite members, a better recognition upgrade process and more.”
