Buyer's Advantage™1
Buyer's Advantage enables you to extend the manufacturer's warranty for
up to 12 months on many electrical products purchased in New Zealand for
personal, non-commercial use, when they carry a manufacturer's original
warranty of five years or less. Simply pay for your new Eligible Products
with your Platinum Card.
Purchase Protection1
A wide range of items you purchase with your Platinum Card are covered by Purchase Protection. So if your Eligible Item is accidentally damaged or stolen within 90 days of the date of purchase,
it will be replaced or fully refunded up to a value of $3,500 per Eligible Item.
Emergency Roadside Assistance1
Should your car break down when you are travelling anywhere more than 51kms from your home in New Zealand, we will arrange and pay for your car to be towed to the nearest garage or for
on-the-spot repairs (up to NZ$150). A transport allowance will be provided (in certain instances) if repairs take longer than 48 hours.
Home Assistance1
Platinum Card membership can assist you with any number of predicaments
around the home as well. If something goes wrong, sourcing a plumber, electrician
or locksmith is not a problem. A network of independent operators is available
to help with any domestic emergencies 24 hours, 7 days a week.
