Air New Zealand Amex Offer Details

When you spend $1,250 or more on qualifying airfare through Air New Zealand through March 16, 2024, you’ll receive a $225 statement credit back.

There are a number of restrictions, however:

Like most Amex Offers, your purchase can be made in multiple transactions, though if you’re originating in the U.S. to fly down to New Zealand, your airfare will likely exceed $1,250 anyways.

• You must purchase your airfare on the Air New Zealand website, the Air NZ mobile app, or over the phone at 800-262-1234. Make sure your purchase is not done on any of Air New Zealand’s other country websites — your purchase must be from the U.S. version of the website to trigger the offer. In addition, purchases done at a ticket office, at an airport, or via a third party are not eligible. This includes travel agents.
• Your flight needs to begin in the U.S., so for those living in Australia and starting your journey from there, this offer won’t be as useful for you.
• The Amex offer is for airfare only, and can’t be used on an Air New Zealand miscellaneous expenses. This means these purchases don’t qualify:
  • Air New Zealand Cargo
  • Air New Zealand Explorer Pass
  • Koru membership
  • Koru guest passes
  • Tandem Travel
  • Bookings of events, tours, activities, hotels, cars, campervan rentals, or airport transfers through Air New Zealand
