Absolutely, and that was only the point I was trying to make earlier. Some of the things (APD / SP earn, for instance) are made very clear when booking. Others, however, are not. And if we want to get really dicey look at NZ offering "recognition upgrades" and what has become of them. They are exceptionally difficult to redeem in some cases to the point of being almost downright misleading.
