Only Air NZ lounges.

"You can use your lounge passes to access domestic and international Air New Zealand branded and operated lounges."

Is there a limit to the number of passes one can be issued per year?
After some heavy spending I have quite a few and wondered if I continue my spend patterns my lounge pass haul will keep increasing

Not as far as I'm aware. I put through some pretty good numbers on my credit card each year, mainly because of business purchases on there and I always receive my allocation of passes, which just sit in my account unused, unfortunately.

Depends on the credit card you have. I have a Kiwibank one and have had up to 14 vouchers banked. Most were not redeemed and lost as I am a *G but now my daughter uses them travelling to and from Uni.

So you've spent $140,000 in the last 12 months? (14/2 passes = 7 * $20k spend)

1 Do you have your daughter listed as joint holder so she can use the passes?
2 do they waive the 2 fees (std and additional card) ?

Easily done for some if running a business and paying for GST and PAYE etc via credit card.. might rack up that much in only a few months! But if you can't share them they are pointless. I hate that rule

Airnz lounge voucher changes

They are now only supply vouchers on ever $30k spent and not $20k and capped at just two per year.
Time to look at changing where I book flights..

4 per year. This is already being discussed extensively in two other threads.

​​​​​If it changes your habits it's your loss - not anybody else's. If lounge access is so important you could just buy it.

Hi,

I have a related question I wonder if anyone can help with. I have a handful of lounge e-vouchers from my ANZ platinum card. I have some long haul economy trips coming up and would like to use them to access Auckland and Houston Air NZ lounges. However I’m currently chasing status with Singapore Airlines (2 flights away from *G) and want to credit the flights to them.

Does anyone have any experience using the lounge e-vouchers without having their Airpoints number on their boarding pass? I wasn’t sure if I’d just be able to scan my Airpoints card to redeem the vouchers? I tried asking Air NZ but didn’t really get an answer...

Thanks a lot

Change your ff# to SQ at the gate after being in the lounge?
