You'd get 256 SP's for it plus 128 SP ANZ Plat bonus (if you have it) which would be 384 total. Probably be about $1000 return but $2.60/SP which is pretty decent. Could do it in a day.
That maths doesn't quite stack up:
A dummy booking AKL-DUD (via CHC) in M class FlexiRefund costs $682. You'd earn 29 SP for AKL-CHC and the same for CHC-DUD, so 58 SP for the trip down. So a return (if also in M) would cost $1364 for 116 SPs so a pretty normal $11.76/SP.
Under the Promo, it drops to a very reasonable $5.88/SP - and then any ANZ and credit card bonus/earn.
A TT J trip ex-WLG is still a much better earner IMHO. See my estimate upthread - but around pre-Promo 180 SP for $1400, so under the Promo you earn 360 SP for $1400, which is astonishingly good value at $3.89/SP.
