Frequent Flyer Program Guides

Simplifying the world of points

The world of frequent flyer points can be pretty confusing at the best of times, with confusing ways to earn points, a huge range of airline partners, and no clear answers on how to get the most out of your airline or credit card program points.

I’m working on a series of introductory guides to start the newbies off which gets into how points can be really valuable and the best place to start thinking about your points earn and usage strategies. Here’s where to start.

There’s also a range of how-to’s on more specific topics, as well as general guides on a range of relevant programs to New Zealand frequent flyers. These guides cover a range of topics for Air New Zealand Airpoints, Qantas Frequent Flyer, Virgin Australia Velocity Frequent Flyer, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, and Cathay Pacific Asia Miles.
