How Shairpoints works
Shairpoints account setup
If you're already a New Zealand based Airpoints™ member with an online account, you're ready to go. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Sign in to your Airpoints account
2. Go to My Balances
3. Click the Shairpoints™ tab
You can create a Shairpoints account with up to nine other New Zealand based Airpoints members.
Roles of Shairpoints account
If you set up a Shairpoints account, you become the 'Owner' of the Shairpoints account. Each year* you can share your Airpoints Dollars with up to nine members of your Shairpoints account, to spend on flights or rewards as you like.
The Owner can assign roles to members of the group. A 'Spender' can spend Airpoints Dollars from the Shairpoints account, while a 'Non-spender' can contribute Airpoints Dollars but is not able to spend Airpoints Dollars from the Shairpoints account.
Shairpoints account balance
All Shairpoints group members' Airpoints Dollar balances will show as a combined total in the Shairpoints account. To view the balance of the Shairpoints account, simply sign in to your Airpoints account and go to 'My Balances' and then the 'Shairpoints' tab. Only the Owner and the Spenders can spend Airpoints Dollars from the Shairpoints account.
The Airpoints Dollars in the Shairpoints group are deducted from the balance with the oldest points used first, regardless of whether they are a Spender or Non-spender in the group.
Non-spenders of the group can still log into their personal Airpoints account to view and spend their Airpoints Dollars they have personally earned as they wish. Non-spenders are not able to use the shared Airpoints Dollar balance of the group.
Airpoints Dollars Advance
Only members with an Airpoints Dollars Advance as a benefit of their Airpoints credit card can spend the Advance and will see it as part of their available Airpoints Dollars balance.
If you are an Owner or a Spender in a Shairpoints group, your available Airpoints Dollars balance is the total Shairpoints balance plus your own Airpoints Dollars Advance if you hold one. If you are a Non-Spender in a Shairpoints group then your available Airpoints Dollar balance is your personal balance only plus your own Airpoints Dollars advance if you hold one.
