More detail

Earn Airpoints Dollars on every purchase

You'll earn Air New Zealand Airpoints Dollars every time you buy something with your card. Even on everyday purchases like groceries, petrol and travel guides. With Visa and MasterCard you'll collect one Airpoints Dollar for every $150 you spend on purchases, and if you choose the American Express card, you'll get 50% more – that's one Airpoints Dollar for every $1002.

Airpoints Joining Fee Waiver

If you're not an Air New Zealand Airpoints™ Programme member don't worry, as we will automatically enrol you in the programme when you get a GlobalPlus card and the Airpoints joining fee will be waived.

Airpoints Advance of 50 Airpoints Dollars

If you're a little short on Airpoints Dollars, your GlobalPlus card means you can get an advance of 50 Airpoints Dollars to help you reach your destination.1

Convert Fly Buys Points as well

If you collect Fly Buys, you can convert your Fly Buys Points to Airpoints Dollars!3 A minimum of 300 Fly Buys Points will get you 48 Airpoints Dollars and then for every 150 Fly Buys Points you convert after that, you'll get 24 Airpoints Dollars.

Fly within New Zealand or take off overseas

Airpoints Dollars allow customers to choose from every seat available for sale on every Air New Zealand ticketed and operated flight. You can use your Airpoints Dollars for Air New Zealand domestic flights, including Grab a Seat and Flight Auctions, as well as international flights with Air New Zealand, and other Star Alliance members. However, the government and airport tax part of international flight tickets can't be paid with Airpoints Dollars. One Airpoints Dollar is the same as one New Zealand Dollar for flight purchases, so a $49 flight will cost 49 Airpoints Dollars.4

Manage your money

With up to 44 days interest free on your purchases, provided you pay the full amount of the outstanding monthly balance by its due date, using your GlobalPlus credit card can help you to manage your money.

Low minimum payment in case you need it

Each month, you can choose to pay as little as 2% or $25 of your outstanding balance, whichever is greater. We recommend that you repay as much of your outstanding monthly balance as possible. But it's nice to know that the minimum payment option is there when you need a bit more flexibility.

Need cash in a hurry?

You can use your GlobalPlus credit card to get a cash advance5 from ATMs here and overseas6. There's no interest-free period for cash advances, so using your credit card to borrow cash is just like getting an instant loan.

Security to protect you from fraud

Our credit cards come with security features to help protect you from credit card fraud when you make purchases online and over the counter. We also have world-leading technology, LEN Secure, that updates your Visa and MasterCard credit card information with every balance enquiry, mini statement or cash advance5 at a BNZ ATM. This helps protect your card from counterfeit fraud.

  1. For GlobalPlus accounts opened prior to 30 March 2008, Airpoints Advance is available to the person who was the nominated earner as at 30 March 2008 and for accounts opened after 30 March 2008, Airpoints Advance is available to the original nominated earner when the GlobalPlus credit card account was first opened, and in each case, is the nominated earner at the time of requesting the benefit. If the cardholder holds more that one GlobalPlus branded card, s/he is only entitled to Airpoints Advance for the card which has the higher Airpoints Advance limit.  Airpoints Dollars earned after the Airpoints Advance are first applied to repaying any negative Airpoints Dollars before contributing to any positive Airpoints Dollars balance. The cardholder cannot use Airpoints Advance (or any unused portion of it), and has 12 months to repay the Airpoints Advance, once s/he ceases to be a GlobalPlus cardholder and/or the nominated earner or Air New Zealand withdraws Airpoints Advance. Failure to repay the Airpoints Advance will result in Air New Zealand closing the cardholder’s Airpoints membership account and Air New Zealand reserves the right to recover the monetary value of any outstanding Airpoints Advance.
