Air New Zealand’s loyalty programme is getting a rebrand.<\/p>\n

The airline said it would be rebranded Koru, although the currency would remain Airpoints dollars and members would continue to earn status points.<\/p>\n

In an email to members, Air New Zealand said the programme would be shaped by what members had told it mattered most.<\/p>\n

Airpoints has gone through some changes in recent years.<\/p>\n

Last year, Kiwibank and Air New Zealand announced they were cutting ties and Kiwibank would no longer offer an Airpoints credit card<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kiwibank pointed to increasing regulation of interchange fees, which were the fees paid by the bank that processed a transaction to the card issuer.<\/p>\n
