Air NZ wont now allow this. So I cannot accrue to NZ (no status) and show my TG *G card for alliance benefits - very grumpy as it seems to defy the point of *A rules. However, Air NZ are fine if I want to accrue to another (*A) program.
Friends have told me *A want to ‘fix’ what is seen by some as double-dipping. I see it as the benefit of *A, otherwise what is the point?
I do this all the time, I am trying to maintain at least 2 qualified Gold member from 2 programs, for just in case. This year alone already doing this about 50K miles, which include one at the NZ lounge at Melbourne without a problem.
