I saw a copy of an email today that was published on Reddit.

It says that from the 20th Feb 2023 APD earn will drop to 1APD for every NZ110 spent, and lounge vouchers are being ditched.

It also says that it is "changing how status points are earnt to a 50% bonus on top of the staus points earns on eligible flights with Air NZ, ie you fly from AKL to WLG and would earn 20 status points, ANZ will then give you another 10 status points"

This really makes no sense to me so it'll be interesting to see when they advice customers and update their website. I can totally understand ditching the 1SP per NZD250 and moving to another model but to me this 50% bonus seems like something that's depending on the situation ranges from far less generous for some people to something that is waaaay too generous for others.

It'll be interesting to see the full changes when ANZ finally advise customers.
