Saying goodbye to Flybuys after almost three decades! This loyalty programme has been a staple in Kiwi households since 1996. Find out why Flybuys is closing and what this means for its loyal members!

Flybuys, the beloved loyalty programme that has been a part of New Zealanders' lives for nearly 30 years, is set to bid farewell at the end of this year. Since its inception in the 1990s, Flybuys quickly gained popularity among customers, offering rewards like redeemable points for items, petrol discounts, and New World Dollars conversions.

As the news broke of Flybuys' exit from New Zealand, many loyal members expressed sadness over the end of an era. The closure will result in about 90 job losses as Loyalty NZ, the company behind Flybuys, announced its decision to wind down the programme. Members have until December 31 to redeem their points, marking the end of an iconic loyalty scheme.

Despite the bittersweet farewell to Flybuys, New Zealanders can reminisce about the countless rewards and benefits they enjoyed over the years. From exclusive discounts to valuable points, Flybuys has been a trusted companion for savvy shoppers and loyal customers. As the chapter closes on this beloved loyalty programme, its legacy will be remembered fondly by many.

In its final months, Flybuys remains a beacon of nostalgia and gratitude for its members. With memories of fruitful redemptions and exciting rewards, the programme leaves behind a legacy of loyalty and appreciation. As the year comes to a close, New Zealanders reflect on the end of an era with Flybuys, thanking it for nearly three decades of joy and savings.
