Type: Single RU (lodged when Silver)

ExpertFlyer show that PE was full, but now has U1. Biz is showing C4D0.

Very interesting that this RU has cleared so early, especially in the ‘high’ season to/from SE Asia.
The RU was lodged when I hit Silver in Jun. I have also recently provide some feedback to AirNZ using MyVoice where I specifically noted that the failure rate of RUs was making them essentially worthless, and my experience was in common with many fellow travellers I have chatted with.

I have had 6 RUs all fail since Jun, all attempts for 2xRU Y->BP. First 4 were gifted, and then tried my own 2x Gold RUs.
