[snip] ... Agree with the previous members post, I'd much prefer to "pay" someone the equivalent in cash to use a expiring recognition upgrade and have the upgrade confirmed at booking or at least a much better chance of being upgraded as RU's would be processed ahead of OneUp regardless.
Perhaps someone should start a separate thread to coordinate this for those who wish to part with RU's which they don't plan on using?
(unless there are Air NZ conditions which would prevent this)

And that's certainly understandable. It wouldn't be worth the risk, as a previous members post points out, there are terms and conditions preventing this from happening.

I think they state that you can't sell them etc however they can't exactly police it since you are allowed to give them away. Some obscure thread with details done via private messaging might work.
