I suspect there are combinations of flights set up in NZ's system which define a journey, eg., SYD-AKL-LAX. But there are combinations that they haven't thought of and aren't set up, eg., PVG-AKL-EZE, that don't even have available earn rates, in which case earning will be by sector. This could explain why a previous poster who had a flight cancellation that had to take a detour via AKL had 2 journeys.

Do they count as NZ metal
Just curious if the status boost status credits count as NZ metal for Elite requalification?

Unfortunately I snipped the image on my laptop but then forgot to save it so am relying on memory to compare figures.

I just flew SYD-AKL-LAX which was both my first NZ metal journey since they introduced Status Boost journeys and also the journey that moved up to Elite... and on my statement I have "Frequent Flyer Status Boost (Gold-Partial Credit) NZ" and 1.5 SC! Makes sense since it was 1 journey out of 10, so 10% of the possible 15SC boost for a Gold.

Has anybody been successfully credited with status boost journeys for UA codeshare flights? The flight I took a week ago met the requirements but I'm pretty sure I haven't been credited for it. SP/APD were credited within about 24 hours.
"If your Journey is with Air New Zealand or an Air New Zealand flight number and ticketed booking on a Qualifying Partner Airline Flight, and earns Status Points, it will count towards your Frequent Flyer Status Boost."

Yes the only qualifying flight is AKL-SFO (or SFO-AKL) from my interpretation, similarly I think the SP on domestic UA aren’t qualifying SP for NZ points for requalification for Elite in my understanding even if flights have a NZ number on a 086 ticket.
