Not sure what you mean by though: ? Based on my ticket as in - what it says on my ticket (and ignoring BA status, but TAP status might be able to give me gold benefits?
Don't think TAP will mean much as HKG-AKL-HKG you are on a CX flight that just happens to be on an NZ aircraft. Pretty sure it is the marketing carrier which sets stuff like this.
Out of alliance code shares get you from A to B, don't expect the frills. Sure CX and NZ status pax get more perks but they don't extend to alliance members.
