Air New Zealand credit card transfer partners

What are the best Air New Zealand credit card partners for earning points?

There's a handful of options that can net you a decent amount of Airpoints Dollars. This includes AMEX Membership Rewards, Westpac Altitude Rewards and ANZ Rewards. Do note that while these transfer rates aren't bad, it's typically possible to get more value transferring these points to other frequent flyer programs.

Westpac Altitude Rewards points

Westpac Altitude Rewards points can be transferred to Air New Zealand at a 180:1 ratio. Every 180 Altitude Rewards points you transfer will give you 1 Airpoints Dollar.

Altitude points are worth about 0.5 cents apiece when redeemed directly with Westpac, so transferring $0.90 worth of points (180 points) for $1 with Air New Zealand is not too bad.
