Did you perceive it to be any better value than booking directly through the airline, or via another travel site?
If you want that particular itinerary on that particular date, it is about $300 cheaper in total on a roundtrip than buying over NZ or Expedia web sites. Therefore, you may say that it's a "good" deal.
UA does not participate in the IAP on this particular search but they have P fare YYZ-IAH-SYD-LAX-YYZ at about $100 more expensive, but only 1 stop instead of 2 stops. I would have paid $100 more and booked UA instead of NZ.
Based on what I read here, the discount available to Canadian IAP is nowhere near those with U.S. based Platinum cards departing from the U.S.
