Buy Back Bonus

Got leftover travel money? We’ll buy it back — with a bonus!

Budgeting for a trip is never easy. And coming home with a wallet full of leftover foreign cash? Even tougher. That’s why we created the Buy Back Bonus — a simple way to turn your unused currency into extra value for your next adventure.

If you purchased your foreign currency at a participating Travel Money NZ store, bring it back within 90 days and we’ll buy it back, plus give you a bonus on your exchange:

- $5 NZD bonus for returns between $100–$499.99 NZD equivalent
- $10 NZD bonus for returns of $500 NZD equivalent or more

It’s our way of saying welcome home — and a chance to hear about your travels while helping you plan the next one.

 

Which currencies are included?

The Buy Back Bonus covers nearly all the currencies we sell — so whether you’ve got euros, yen, or US dollars left over, you can bring them back within 90 days and we’ll add a little extra to your exchange.

There are a few exceptions, though. Some currencies aren’t eligible for the bonus. You’ll find the full list of excluded currencies in the dropdown below.

How the Buy Back Bonus works

  1. Purchase your foreign currency in-store from Travel Money NZ.
  2. Travel, spend, and enjoy your trip!
  3. Return to the same store within 90 calendar days with your leftover currency.
  4. Bring proof of purchase – the fastest option is your paper receipt.
    ✅ Best option: Receipt = quick, hassle-free processing.
    🔑 Backup option: Lost your receipt? No worries — show valid ID and our team can locate your original transaction.
  5. We’ll buy back your leftover currency at the day’s standard exchange rate and add your Buy Back Bonus on top.
