Status: Gold (renewed for next 12m) and this return trip took me close to Elite.
Very pleased to get this upgrade 20min out from boarding. I had already used my RUs on previous flights and did not put in a OneUp. The flight was not full - space in PE and Y (didn't check J). Never had this on AirNZ before!

It appears it is in the air at the moment.
I got a similar message a fortnight ago too TT upgrade from PE to BP
