Triple Status Points on Domestic Flights

From an Air NZ email:
Hello "Trumpkin",

If you’re quick smart, you could earn triple Status Points on every domestic flight you take between 10 April and 10 July 2018.

Just book any domestic flight through airnz.co.nz using the promo code TRIPLESTATUS and we’ll reward you with triple Status Points when you fly.

Hurry, bookings must be made before midnight Sunday 8 April 2018.
Not sure if this is a promo code for selected people or for anyone to use, but if it does it'll help people hit elite / gold / silver a lot easier.

Wow, that would’ve been an insane haul for me this time last year. Hope you made use!

Hard to say if its worth booking with that code as they may not honor it!

I just selected a potential booking without being logged in using the promo code - message “The Promo Code you entered does not match a current promotion. Please try again, or click 'Search' to continue without a Promo Code.”

It certainly now sounds like this was a highly targeted email. I've gone from flying domestic just about weekly for work for many years and Elite status to not having done so for significant enough time that I've soft landed to gold. So I suspect that they are wondering if I'm now flying Jetstar or similar and are trying to tempt me back to flying Air NZ with this offer.

The only email offering “Triple” I have received:

”WLG Base, enjoy up to 3x Airpoints Dollars from now on at the Airpoints Mall”

I received a slightly different offer yesterday.
i get a bonus 40status pints for every flight booked.
very tempted to take a few wlg-akl-wlg flights on one Saturday and secure Elite.
i am about 300 away and recently slowed down on flights so perhaps targeted again?

Even if it is targeted it's a good move by Air NZ. Taking a leaf out of the Qantas books by the looks of it.

I got that as well - and it's a very misleading promotion obviously written by somebody who has no math skills.

The text says "earn up to 3x more airpoints dollars". As it was APD1 earn per $100 before, more means you earn earn an additional 3x on top of what you would have earned, so you should now earn up APD4 per $100, but they're only offering 3APD per $100 at selected stores.

In my experience (particularly dealing with issues around earn when using successful one-up's) that could mean half of the Airpoints Team!

The code appears to be accepted on any booking domestic or international. When do dummy does not however show triple points, so could be an error in system allowing it to be used, also can put in doublestatus and it does not get the reject message.

Has anyone booked and seen the projected points come up as triple. I have and it still comes up as the standard # of points...
(its not a multiple of 3 even)
