Earn double Status Points or double Airpoints Dollars™ on eligible flights, and get closer to your next reward, faster.
To qualify, your booking must be:
On an Air New Zealand operated or qualifying partner airline flight* booked between 26 - 30 March 2026
For travel between 13 April 2026 - 20 March 2027
With your Airpoints number added to your booking
Where to book:
15. ANZ Airpoints Visa Platinum and ANZ Visa Business Airpoints card holders will earn as follows:
ANZ 50% bonus based on the Standard Status Points earn rate
plus, 2x Status Points based on the Standard Status Points earn rate only,
which results in a 250% effective earn rate.
Gosh this is tempting to try and push for gold
Remember you need half the status points to come from flights, not card. I have enough total points for the next tier but not enough flight ones :(
One businss return should get you gold. Singapore, LA etc
I have booked a few flights just because of this promo yesterday and today, was needing to anyway for work for the next two months. The 250% earn rate, really threw me off for a second in the t&cs becauses its really a 150% bonus on top of the standard rate, either way you look at it. 250% or 150% with a ANZ card still a great opp to get to a milestone. I might even be lucky and just scrape into Koru Black with the changes from the 1st and the status point top up when my elite status comes up for renewal. Fingers crossed! Another tip here is to always book one way domestic, not return trips. Use the Status Boost Journeys to your advantage, as a return trip only counts as 1.
Just be aware and have a look at any SPs expiring prior to your renewal date etc. I made the mistake last time the double sp promo was on. Managed to scrape through to koru black
Good point! Will check that. Pretty sure I’ll be alright.
“Status Boost Journeys”?
Thanks for explaining that one. So a boost every 10 trips, and a return trip counts as only 1 trip towards this? But individual trips there and back count as 2?!
Pretty sure return trip is still counted as 2 individual flights?
Actually I am not correct. Apologies, I was previously told journeys were counted in this way. Not per flight, when in fact it is per flight. I called them and it seems I am missing several on my profile for some reason and they looking into it. Sorry for the confusion again
Can take the flights much later, but has to be booked/purchased in next few days only.
