Hi there,

A couple of questions from anyone in the know as I'm getting conflicting information from ANZ/Air NZ

Does a partner (non-main card holder, I.E Spouse) accrue the Status points boost form AirNZ?

And would a partner get a status points boost, if the flights were booked and paid for, the partner then applied and received an ANZ card - before the travel was taken?

Cheers!

Normal status points and airpoints earn ie if they aren't flying they don't get anything.
Status bonus does not apply either.

For any airpoints member, each person accrues status boost from the flights they’ve personally undertaken - for the 10 flights gets 15 status points benefit. This is the standard AirNZ status boost.

The ANZ card points bonus is different not sure how that works.

pretty sure the card and the Airpoints number are linked to each other....so the main card holder only get's the status points when flying. This current system is a pretty good deal in that you get status points regardless of whether the ANZ card is used to pay for the tickets. For example, I was in the USA flying on United and I had paid for those tickets using my United Explorer credit card, but when I booked the flight on United, I loaded my AirNZ member number and I received a status point boost from the ANZ card. I think your partner would need their own ANZ card with their airpoints # loaded against it, but then they will be the one to get the boost. And in answer to your question, I think that as long as they have an active ANZ Airpoints card with their Airpoints # on the card BEFORE they board the flight, then they will get the status boost....because, as I just mentioned, whether you use the ANZ card to pay for the travel is currently irrelevant.
