Sign up to Heathrow Rewards and you can transfer your points to KrisFlyer (or Asia Miles).

If you’re new to the frequent flyer game, Singapore Airlines’ loyalty program KrisFlyer is one of the top five to join for travellers based in New Zealand.

And, in my opinion, KrisFlyer miles are more valuable than Qantas and Velocity Points.
