Not me personally, but I have a friend who last time I spoke to him had (from memory) 25 years banked. I think he beats you. :)

It's apparently not difficult when you spend a couple of hundred k every year with Air NZ.

Status points are actually wasted on me...as a Koru member, I actually do use the lounges fairly regularly...the reason i have so few APD's is due to the fact that my flights are predominantly AKL-WGN and on the cheapest possible fares. 

I also tend to spend my points in the store.

Or have a credit card that boasts non expiry of airpoints dollars. The $25/year low fee Kiwibank card is enough to prevent your airpoints from expiring.

I am actually quite miffed with their air dollars.
I foolishly thought you could use them like money.
I didnt realise you cant use them unless they cover the whole of a flight.
So you can have (say) $300 airpoints and book a$310 flight - but you cant use your air dollars because it doesnt cover the whole flight.
I foolishly figured I could use the air dollars and pay the balance.

I guess thats the thing with rewards schemes - they want to appear to give you something that you might not be able to use....

Impressive. Travel cost for us is not really the problem, it is finding time away to travel. You must own a lot of AirNZ shares. Let us know when you hit 20k and redeem Suite Class with SIA
PS. the iPhone app looks better for some reason
