Estimated vs real Status Points, confusion re 'estimated'

Hello!

I have an upcoming J class booking - I wasn't sure if I will meet the requirements for requalification as *Gold.

Under "manage my booking", I can see this:

Potential earnings, estimates only
Journey leg Status Points
XXX to YYY 409.00
YYY to XXX 473.00
Total bonus 441.00

1. What is the 'Total bonus' about? Am I expecting an SP earn rate of 409 + 473 + 441 = 1323 SP? (the 441 appears to be 50% of 409 + 473 = 882)

2. I recall when I made the booking, it says there 882 SP (<900)... But when I used the calculator and input the correct fare class (Z, J etc) it came up as total SP of 946.

3. Unfortunately, my trip above happens 1 month after my 'review date' - I could potentially be downgraded to Silver (and needing 900 SP, as opposed to 810). What are your experiences with Air NZ, will they be kind enough to let you qualify, if ultimately I only have 882 SP (just 18 shy of 900).

Thank you!
