Since you are not a NZ resident you should give AirNZ airpoints a wide berth. It is a poor program these days with much better value to be found elsewhere, especially for those who do not reside in new Zealand.

Look to credit to another *A carrier, being a Business Premium traveller you should get full credit for your bookings on any of them.

If you are after Status, with that travel, Aegean may be a good way to attain/retain *G for a long time.

I suggest you check the *A forum for more advice.
