General promotion FAQs
- Can I enter the Pin a Million promotion more than once?

You must be 18 years or older, a New Zealand resident, and an Airpoints member to enter the prize draws. - Can I win more than once?
Yes! When playing the online game you'll be in with a new chance of winning every day. Winners will be drawn at random so there's no limit to the number of prizes you can win.

- In the top right corner of any email you have received from Air New Zealand
- By clicking on the Airpoints tab of the Air New Zealand app
- On your Airpoints card

FAQs on Online Game
- Can I play the online game if I'm not an Airpoints member?
You can play our online game but without an Airpoints number you won't be able to enter the draw. You can sign up to Airpoints here – it's easy and free. - What prizes are up for grabs when playing the online game?
Each day there will be a winner of 5,000 Airpoints Dollars, plus 20 prizes of 500 Airpoints Dollars. Every entry throughout the month will also go in the draw to win 20 prizes of 1,000 Airpoints Dollars, to be drawn at the end of the promotion. - When will you let me know if I've won?
If you play the online game and are a winner you'll receive an email from us within seven business days of taking part to advise that you have won a prize. If you're a winner you may see your Airpoints account credited before then. - Can I play the game at any time of the day?
Each day a new clue will be posted at 7.00am, and you'll have until 11.00pm to submit your entry. At 11.00pm the game will close until 7.00am the following day. - How will you select winners each day?
If you drop your pin within a 1km radius of the latitude and longitude coordinate of the correct location you will go in the daily draw of 5,000 Airpoints Dollars. Winners will be randomly drawn from the pool of people that correctly guess within the 1km radius. All other valid entries for the day will go in the draw to win one of 20 prizes of 500 Airpoints Dollars. - Where can I find the answers to the previous day's question?
We'll post answers to the clues the following day here.
