    Thanks - I didn't know that.
    Off to the shop.

    You can also pay for the stuff you buy at Mitre 10 partly or totally using Airpoints. Just need your Airpoints card and a photo ID

    They have stopped selling Mitre Ten e-vouchers online under the auspices of its not right to sell these that require redemption in store due to Covid 19 concerns. WTF ?
    I think this is very poor as these vouchers have a shelf life far longer than AIR under their current business model and there is no requirement to spend the vouchers within a certain amount of time. I do not have the time to wander around Mitre ten at present with hordes of others panic buying their home renovation products because they want something to do at home for the next month or two.

    You can also order products from the airpoints store. I cashed mine out and turned it into a new compass and some booze.

    The majority of those other products are a rip-off though. $39.99 for 4, 45g, bars of chocolate. No thanks.

    Certainly Mitre 10 was crazier than the supermarket here yesterday. Shedload of DIY going on.

    Ironic thing I was earning airpoint dollars while spending my voucher, bought with airpoint dollars.....

    I think AIR may have had a quiet word to Mitre 10....

    I got my Mitre 10 voucher yesteereday and I quote from the associated email


    1. Gift cards are redeemable for goods and services sold at Mitre 10 stores in New Zealand, and on the Mitre 10 website.



    so that's a full on bogus excuse not to sell them

    Like I said, AIR have had a word and are worried about liquidity issues perhaps.
