Earn Airpoints Dollars faster
Your GlobalPlus Platinum Visa card earns Air New Zealand Airpoints Dollars on every purchase. For every $90 you spend on your card you'll earn one Airpoints Dollar, and your Airpoints Dollars won't expire1, 4.
Airpoints Joining Fee Waiver
If you're not an Air New Zealand AirpointsTM 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 membership status and Koru benefits
Your GlobalPlus Platinum Visa card purchases can also contribute to your Air New Zealand Airpoints membership status as you'll earn one Status Point for every $250 in purchases and, for Silver or Gold tier status, up to half your Status Points can be earned this way. Different criteria apply for Gold Elite tier status2. Your $255 Koru joining fee will even be waived if you're not already a member, and the one year Koru membership fee for individuals is reduced by $145, to $361 a year5.
Convert Fly Buys Points as well
If you collect Fly Buys, you can convert your Fly Buys Points to Airpoints Dollars!6 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 explore the world
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 grabaseat, as well as international flights with Air New Zealand and other Star Alliance carriers. 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.7
Platinum Visa International Travel insurance at no extra cost
Your Platinum card comes with Extended Warranty and Purchase Protection.9
Extended Warranty – this can extends the warranty period beyond the manufacturer's original warranty on purchases you make with your card by up to 12 months
Purchase Protection – can give you 90 days' insurance against theft, loss or damage on purchases you make with your card
Airpoints Advance of 200 Airpoints Dollars
If you're a little short on Airpoints Dollars your GlobalPlus Platinum Visa card means you can get an advance of up to 200 Airpoints Dollars to help you reach your destination.3
Share your rewards with others
You can use your Airpoints Dollars to gift rewards (excluding companion tickets) to two people outside your household each year.10 You can also gift as many other rewards (excluding companion tickets) as you want to people living at the same address as you.
The freedom to get out there
Your GlobalPlus Platinum Visa card comes with a significant credit limit and the privileges of Visa Platinum Unique Travel. You'll have the freedom to seize opportunities and make spur of the moment travel decisions. 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 Platinum Visa card can optimise money management.
Your account fee could be refunded
Your half-yearly account fee will be refunded if you have made purchases totalling $30,000 or more on your GlobalPlus Platinum Visa card since your last half-yearly account fee was charged.11
Need cash in a hurry?
You can use your GlobalPlus Platinum Visa card to get a cash advance12 from ATMs here and overseas13. There's no interest-free period for cash advances, so using your GlobalPlus Platinum Visa card to borrow cash is just like getting an instant loan.
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 the 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.
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 credit card information with every balance enquiry, mini statement or cash advance12 at a BNZ ATM. This helps protect your card from counterfeit fraud.

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 than one GlobalPlus branded card, s/he is only entitled to Airpoints Advance for the card which has the higher Airpoints Advance limit.
