I managed to save about $800 per J ticket thru the Amex IAP so a little over 10%. I'm flying out of SFO, and the direct flights were on NZ and UA metal, but the UA flight is a NZ codeshare. If the entire trip was on UA metal, it wasn't available fhru IAP. Since the program only partners with select (mostly non-US) airlines, I wonder each leg, including the domestic US legs, might need to be codeshare for it to appear in the program?
