Well, time is almost up! I've put it off for as long as I could. I did the math. I decided to throw 10k APD on the account as a hedge. Like others in here I don't trust Air NZ to not pull the rug out under us with APD upgrades.

However, when I tried to pay for the APD, my card didn't work. It should be still working, right? I'll have to make some calls!

Because of this change, I'll also be more conservative. I used to throw upgrades at daytime flights to move from PE to BP. Now I won't bother, I'll preserve my points and upgrades and only use them for nighttime flights.
