Need help with your Airpoints™?

You can find your Airpoints number on the Airpoints tab of the Air NZ app or at the top right of most emails sent to you by Air New Zealand or Airpoints.

You can also sign in to your Airpoints account using your username to view your Airpoints number on your profile. If you've forgotten your login details, select 'Forgot username' and follow the instructions to retrieve your username.

If you can't remember your email address, username or Airpoints number, call us for assistance on 0800 247 764 or +64 9 357 3000 if you're overseas.

If you have your Airpoints™ number, 

1. You can sign in
2. Select 'Your balances' on screen to see your Airpoints Dollars™ and Shairpoints™ balance (and much more)

You'll see your Airpoints number and profile name displayed on the top right of your browser window too.

You can also check the most recent Airpoints email you received, as your latest balance as of the send date will be shown there. 

If you think you're missing Airpoints Dollars™ or Status Points you've earned, you can claim for them, up to six months later.

Please log in to your Airpoints account, and click the "Claim missing Airpoints" tab. We'll find out what happened, and credit your Airpoints account if your claim is successful.

There are lots of ways to earn Airpoints Dollars and Status Points, and some come through later than others. It's possible your missing Airpoints Dollars and Status Points are still being processed.

Remember, we can only process your claim if:

• You've completed your flight
• Your flight was in the last six months if you are an existing Airpoints member
• Your flight was eligible to earn Airpoints Dollars and Status Points
• If it was a business flight, you were a member of Airpoints for Business when you flew
• Your flight was no more than 30 days before you joined Airpoints if you've joined recently.

Find out more about claiming missing points, and when you can expect to see them in your account.

To make sure the Airpoints Dollars™ you earn are automatically added to your account, the name on your Airpoints™ membership, and the name in which you book travel, should match. This should also be the same name that's on your current passport. The same applies if you are a Koru member.

What to do if you travel under a different name

If your Airpoints member name and your travel name don't match, we need to know you 'are you' before we award your Airpoints Dollars, so in that case you'll need to contact us with copies of:

• your boarding pass
• your eTicket (if you have one)
• identity verification (such as a marriage certificate)

Updating your account details

If you update your Airpoints and Koru name details, the process will all be automatic as your details will match. To update your Airpoints or Koru account name, please contact us with:

• a copy of your ID showing your previous name (marriage certificate, birth certificate, driver licence)
• a scanned copy of your passport verifying your new name

To update your date of birth in your Airpoints or Koru account, please contact us with:

• a scanned copy of your ID showing your date of birth (passport, birth certificate, driver licence)

Please also confirm your current address and how you like to be addressed (Mr, Ms, Mrs, or something else). 

Domestic travel

If you are travelling domestically (within NZ) and don't have a passport, or if your passport is still in your previous name, you can contact us with a copy of your marriage certificate, driver licence or other identification document verifying your new name and date of birth.

The Kiwibank Airpoints credit card programme and all benefits associated with your Kiwibank Airpoints card has ended on the 31st of October 2025. The non-expiry benefit for previously earned Airpoints Dollars has been extended to 28th Feb 2026.*

To continue earning Airpoints and enjoying key benefits — such as non-expiry Airpoints — make sure you have an active Airpoints earning credit card from another partner.

Still need help? Please contact Kiwibank on 0800 787 888 for questions about your card or contact Air New Zealand for Koru related support.

We've extended Airpoints Dollars expiry protection for all Kiwibank cardholders to 28 February 2026* to give members extra time to switch or consider their options. Your existing Airpoints will still be available to view when you log in to the Air NZ app (under the 'Airpoints' tab) or your Koru account on the Air New Zealand website (under 'Your Benefits').

Airpoints are valid for four years from the date they're earned and will expire on the anniversary of the day you joined Koru.

There are a couple of ways to keep your Airpoints from expiring:

• Airpoints Gold or Elite status
  Your Airpoints Dollars won't expire while you hold Gold or Elite status. If your status changes, you'll have until your next anniversary to use any Airpoints Dollars that were due to expire.
• Airpoints earning credit card
  If your Kiwibank Airpoints credit card is ending, consider switching to another Airpoints earning credit card. As long as you're the primary cardholder of an eligible card that offers Non-Expiry of Airpoints, your balance won't expire.

To keep your journey going and your Airpoints balance growing, explore Airpoints earning credit cards and find the right one for you.
