Air New Zealand Airpoints sits at the centre of New Zealand's travel-rewards ecosystem, with access to Star Alliance partner awards, and Velocity (Virgin Australia) covers more of the Trans-Tasman map.
The earning picture
Airpoints Dollars are earned on Air NZ and partner cards; for long-haul premium, Star Alliance partner currencies broaden what's reachable from AKL.
Cash vs. points — always compare
Compare the cash fare against the points cost for the same flight before booking; Pointify shows both in NZ dollars so the cheaper option is clear.
