Some fares only earn on Air NZ ffp. Many to most low cost Air NZ fares earn nil or very little on most/all other Star ffp's Some credit to the Virgin Australia ffp
The Air NZ is one of the poorest ffp's in existence, but if fly Air NZ you have no other effective choice.
Lounge access only come with status (or pay $$), and you will not get that unless you fly Air NZ a lot and on long haul more expensive fares.
New Zealand is not a good country for frequent flyers: the poor AirNZ ffp and few other airlines.
