From the supermarket to the stock market – Sharesies joins the Air New Zealand Airpoints Programme
Sharesies is the airline's first partner in the wealth management category giving Airpoints members a fresh way to grow their Airpoints Dollars while investing in their future.
Air New Zealand General Manager Loyalty, Georgie Borowczyk, says Sharesies is a perfect fit for the airline's loyalty programme.
"Sharesies is an innovative, homegrown brand passionate about supporting New Zealanders to build long-term wealth, and we're thrilled to welcome them as our first partner in this space.
"We know our 4.8 million Airpoints customers value having access to a range of partners and ways to earn. We love that this partnership lets our customers invest in both their future and their next trip. Whether you're saving up for your first overseas adventure or your retirement, why not earn Airpoints Dollars along the way?"
Sharesies General Manager of Invest & Save, Scott Nixon says many Sharesies customers are keen travellers and the ability to earn Airpoints will be popular.
"It means Airpoints Dollars can now be earned at the supermarket and on the stock market.
"We're very excited about what we can achieve with Air New Zealand. While it's early days, there's lots of scope to earn Airpoints and be rewarded for building your long-term wealth at the same time."
To celebrate the launch of the partnership, Sharesies customers can go in the prize draw to win a share of 20,000 Airpoints Dollars for every $5 they invest, auto-save or save before 31 March 2025. From today, Sharesies customers can also regularly earn Airpoints based on their Sharesies activity; one Airpoint Dollar for every $1000 they bring into Sharesies (minus withdrawals or transfers out) through a $7 or $15 monthly plan, and one Airpoint Dollar for every $100 paid in Sharesies car insurance premiums. Terms, conditions and fees (if any) apply. Investing involves risk.
