Status Points are how you climb up Koru tiers, and enjoy benefits such as priority service, lounge access, seat upgrades and extra baggage allowance.
Status Points last 12 months from when they're earned. This means that once you've earned enough Status Points within any 12 month period, your status will immediately move up to the next tier.
You can earn Status Points on flights, and with a Status Points earning credit card. To earn on flights, make sure that you enter your Koru number when you book a flight. The amount of Status Points you earn on flights changes depending on the ticket purchased.
Use our Status Points calculator to see how many Status Points your flight will earn.
As you earn and accumulate Status Points , you can upgrade through the Koru tiers. Starting at Koru Bronze, you can upgrade to Koru Silver, followed by Koru Gold, Koru Platinum and Koru Black. View the Comparison table to view the Koru tiers and benefits.
Once you've earned enough Status Points within any 12 month period, your status will immediately move up to the next tier and you'll receive your new benefits and an end of tier date. This date will be the last day of a calendar month and set for 12 months in the future, when your account will next be reviewed.
The best way to track your Status Points progress is in the member portal or Air NZ app.

To reach Koru Silver and above, a certain percentage of Status Points must come from qualifying flights.
For Koru Silver and Koru Gold, 50% of the required Status Points must be earned on either Air New Zealand operated flights, qualifying partner airlines flights, Star Alliance qualifying flights, and/or Status Points Bonus.
For Koru Platinum and Koru Black, 60% of the required Status Points must be earned on either Air New Zealand operated flights, qualifying partner airlines flights, and/or Status Points Bonus. Star Alliance qualifying flights will still contribute towards your total, but not the 60% 'qualifying flights' component.
For qualifying partner flights, visit the Co-operation partners and Star Alliance pages.
