Earn more with higher points value
With the Visa Platinum, you earn 1.67 BNZ Points for every $1 spent—a significant upgrade over the Classic version’s rate. That essentially translates into about $1.11 back for every $100 spent when redeemed as cashback.
Complimentary travel insurance and rental car cover
Enjoy up to 90 days of international leisure travel insurance, including coverage for medical emergencies, luggage delays, and cancellation costs. Domestic rental vehicle excess is also covered up to NZ$5,000 per journey.
Visa Platinum Concierge & emergency travel assistance
Gain access to 24/7 concierge support for appointments, bookings, and travel planning. You also benefit from emergency travel assistance services during international trips—hands-on support when you need it most.
Full digital access and contactless payments
Seamlessly add your card to Apple Pay or Google Pay™ for secure, contactless purchases. Use the BNZ app or Internet Banking to manage cards, view transactions, redeem points, or set up automatic payments anytime, anywhere.
A premium card designed to elevate your rewards and travel experience
The BNZ Advantage Visa Platinum is a high-performance credit card created for individuals who want more from their everyday purchases — more rewards, more travel security, and more lifestyle convenience. Whether you’re booking flights, dining out, or simply paying for groceries, you’ll earn 1.67 BNZ Points for every $1 spent, a significantly higher rate than standard cards. These points can be redeemed for flights, hotels, rental cars, eGift cards, or cash back into a BNZ account — giving you the flexibility to use your rewards your way.
But what truly sets this card apart is its focus on travel protection and premium support. Cardholders enjoy up to 90 days of complimentary international travel insurance, domestic rental car excess cover, and 24/7 emergency travel assistance, all of which provide peace of mind when you’re away from home. The Visa Platinum Concierge service also helps simplify your lifestyle by assisting with bookings, reservations, and recommendations — a valuable perk whether you’re at home or abroad.
The card’s digital features are equally impressive. You can link it with Apple Pay or Google Pay™ for seamless contactless payments, and use the BNZ app or Internet Banking to monitor spending, manage your PIN, block/unblock your card, and keep track of your BNZ Points in real time.
While the $90 annual fee (charged in two $45 instalments) and $8,000 minimum credit limit may suggest a premium tier, the combination of enhanced earning potential, robust travel coverage, and elite service access makes this card ideal for frequent travellers and high-engagement spenders who want more than just basic rewards. It’s a card that not only supports your lifestyle, but actively enhances it.
You’ll earn 1.67 BNZ Points per $1 spent on all eligible purchases. Points never expire and there’s no rewards cap.
Simply pay for any pre‑paid travel expense using your Platinum card—flight, hotel, tours—with a return ticket booked before departure. The cover is automatically eligible for trips up to 90 days, provided you meet the conditions.
Medical emergencies, cancellation, travel delays, lost baggage, personal liability and rental car excess—up to $5,000 per journey. Unlimited cancellation cover up to $5,000 per person. A NZ$200 excess applies per claim.
Annual fee: NZ$90, Additional card: NZ$20 per year. Purchase and cash advance rate: 18.95% p.a. Benefit from up to 55 interest‑free days if you pay off your full balance each month.
Yes—if you spend at least NZ$8,100 annually, you break even on the fee through cashback or equivalent points value. For frequent travellers or frequent spenders, the rewards and included insurance undercut the fee fast.
Why the BNZ Advantage Visa Platinum is your premium partner for travel and rewards
The BNZ Advantage Visa Platinum delivers far more than standard credit card perks. With a generous BNZ Rewards rate of 1.67 points per NZ$1 spent, visa concierge services, emergency travel protection, and up to 90 days of complimentary travel insurance, it’s curated for savvy users who spend frequently, travel confidently, and expect convenience with security.
Although it comes with a $90 annual account fee (in two half-yearly payments of $45) and a minimum credit limit of NZ$8,000, these are offset by the card’s ability to deliver significant value through rewards and travel protection — especially for regular travellers and dedicated credit card spenders.
