Section 1: Where to use the cashback

Where to use the cashback. IMPT tokens redeem against future stays in New Zealand or any of the other 194 countries IMPT covers — and the token is a real on-chain asset, tradeable on partner exchanges. Plus 25% redeemable for IMPT Visa debit card top-ups.

Travellers booking New Zealand hotels via IMPT typically accumulate cashback as forward-booking credit; some redeem as carbon offsets directly, retiring additional CO2 voluntarily. The cashback applies to all 11,958 New Zealand hotels — there's no participating-property filter, no exclusion list, no fine print about 'select rates'. For frequent travellers, the cashback compounds: a regular New Zealand traveller stacking €100-200 of cashback per trip accumulates meaningful balances without conscious tracking.
