Can I combine Air New Zealand credits in different currencies?

The published online combination rule permits up to two credits in the same currency for a new booking. It does not establish that credits in different currencies can be combined online. Adding something to an existing booking has a different limit. Identify the currencies and transaction type before attempting redemption.

What this answer depends on

  • Existing direct Air New Zealand credits being redeemed for new travel or applied to an existing booking.
  • For a new online booking, Air New Zealand permits up to two credits of the same currency.
  • For additions to an existing booking, only one credit may be used in a transaction.
  • The airline directs customers with more than two credits, or a credit not recognized by the tool, to its Contact Centre; agency credits remain with the agent.

Important exceptions

  • No exchange rate or permission to merge mixed-currency credits is invented here. Airpoints combination has separate market-specific information and is not resolved by the credit-count rule. Agency and group credits require their own servicing channels.

What to do next

  1. List each credit’s currency, remaining balance and issue reference. Do not add different currency amounts together as though they were one balance.

  2. Decide whether this is a new flight purchase or an addition to an existing booking. Use the appropriate stated limit rather than assuming the new-booking rule applies everywhere.

  3. For mixed currencies or an unsupported combination, ask the airline what handling is available before committing to payment. The published same-currency online rule does not guarantee assisted conversion.

  4. After redemption, retain the debit against each credit and any residual value. Reconcile in each original currency and use the actual transaction quote for any conversion.

  5. Credit references, currencies, remaining balances, booking type, issuing channel and proposed payment breakdown.
