  • Kiwi Collector Points are earned on purchases made between 1 January and 31 December, on all products issued within that calendar year. Points will cease accumulating on 31 December of that year. Please note, if you place an order which contains product scheduled to be issued in the next calendar year, the Kiwi Collector points you earn will be added to the next year's balance.
  • Unredeemed Kiwi Collector Points will not accumulate from one calendar year to the next.
  • Unused Kiwi Collector Points are non-transferable and are not redeemable for cash.
  • Kiwi Collector Points may be redeemed for Kiwi Collector Vouchers or other Kiwi Collector Rewards, which are communicated to customers each year via a mailing.
