PBTech and Airport Mall are not the same things. Sometimes they do have offers airside or in store only, including promocodes which do not work in both airside and in store. Also, some benefits do not apply when you purchase in-store.

Everyone keeps saying about $700, I don't know where you get this number: "
If you're bringing items to New Zealand from overseas that cost NZ$1000 or less you don't have to pay anything to Customs, as GST is collected when you purchase your items." The item price is lower than the limit." https://www.customs.govt.nz/personal...from-overseas/

Not always, sometimes they have quite good deal, also you can find a promocode to discount the price. Again this promocode might not work for in store purchase.
