A campaign promoting Shairpoints allows members to pool their Airpoints Dollars with up to ten friends or family members. This feature aims to make travel goals more achievable.

Starting December 2nd, Everyday Rewards points can be converted into Airpoints Dollars at a rate of 2,000 points for 15 dollars. Members can also earn rewards while shopping in the Airpoints Store.

O'Brien commented: "These updates to the Airpoints programme are all about enhancing the value and experience for our loyal members." The company plans further announcements in 2025.
