KrisFlyer Spree is KrisFlyer’s ‘online mall’, allowing members to earn Krisflyer miles for purchases made online after signing in and clicking through to a range of retailers.
In this guide, we cover off the key online retailers for New Zealand online shoppers to help you earn more KrisFlyer miles.
Online malls work by ensuring you log in with your frequent flyer program credentials before then being referred out (with a click) once logged in to make a transaction over on the retailer’s website.
KrisFlyer Spree gets paid a commission for initiating the purchase, which they then share with the member in the form of KrisFlyer miles.

What to watch out for?
To ensure that you receive your KrisFlyer miles, you’ll need to make sure that…
- You log into the KrisFlyer Spree website with your KrisFlyer account before you check out from the retailer (you should be prompted if you haven’t already logged in)
- You should note the transaction details and follow up with a missing miles request if you don’t get the miles, especially for big-ticket purchases
As with all online malls, it is imperative to ensure that your cookies are activated for the site to be able to track your purchases. Krisflyer Spree provides details on activating cookies here.
Even following the above, earning miles through online merchants can sometimes be hit and miss, so make sure the take step 2 above seriously.
How does Krisflyer Spree compare?
Because KrisFlyer Spree earns on a per US$10 basis (usually) and the currency conversion that they use is not transparent, it makes it hard to compare explicitly between retailers but in most cases the earn rates compared to, say, Velocity Points, are usually comparable on a like-for-like basis.
All up, the selection for NZ-based points earners is not vast, but there might be the odd retailer that works OK for your needs.
