At least the second, more likely the 3rd or 4th time. They're often not heavily promoted though. QF also quietly matches them.
I've booked them throughout the year this year and hope both NZ & QF continue offering them - I guess it's partially to compete with EK.
I occasionally see Business Saver offerings on long haul destinations (LAX in particular) during times of peak Economy demand but low business demand -- think Christmas-ish.
