The partnership gives Kiwis the option to choose from a huge range of rewards both in the air and on the ground. 

AA Smartfuel Managing Director Scott Fitchett says: “This new partnership will help make travel more accessible for Kiwis and allow them to connect with loved ones or support local tourism operators, by using Points to book domestic flights to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown with Jetstar and other partner airlines.”

It’s the first time in AA Smartfuel’s almost 10-year history that it’s given Kiwis the option to redeem the AA Smartfuel discounts they earn on something other than fuel.

“Fuel discounts at our fuel partners bp and GAS are still extremely popular; we’re simply wanting to give customers other options for how they can redeem the AA Smartfuel discounts they earn,” Scott says.

Qantas Loyalty Chief Executive Officer, Olivia Wirth said establishing another avenue to earn Qantas Points in New Zealand with a partner as prolific as AA Smartfuel is good news for members and an exciting opportunity for Qantas Frequent Flyer.

 “New Zealanders share our love of travel and as our second biggest market they also understand the value of Qantas Points. We look forward to giving our New Zealand members more opportunities to earn Qantas Points to enjoy a domestic flight somewhere close to home now, an international flight later, a booking with Qantas Hotels or a gift from the Qantas Rewards Store.”
