I am trying to register for an Airpoints for Business account but a message states that my business is already registered. What can I do?
Either your business is already registered as an Above & Beyond customer or someone in your business (or previously in your business) has already set up an Airpoints for Business account for your company. You will need to find out who the existing Airpoints for Business account is registered with to be able to change ownership of the account or to get yourself linked to the account. For security purposes, Air New Zealand cannot disclose information about the existing Business Owner's identity or change the account ownership without validation from the existing Business Owner.
