When are you flying? I wouldn't be too worried yet, I suspect it is because AirNZ don't yet know you have the Platinum card (no idea how often those systems talk). I've had the card for years so wasn't in the same situation, but all my flights booked prior to this announcement, and using different payment methods, have credited the 50% extra SP.
No Bonus SP's were received.
All future flights which were booked before receiving the card also show no bonus SP's.

Yes, also checked I have the latest iPhone app.
Also no bonuses on the web version.
I'm flying in a week, and also I can see the ANZ Airpoints Visa Platinum card in my "benefits" on air nz website.
ok, will see if I get any bonuses.

I wonder if the requirement is that the card had to be live on the account when the flights were booked. That feels like a lot of sophistication though.

That’s so much extra expenses for the banks.

Hmmm, my experience was a breeze. I already had the ANZ Gold Cashback card, and just asked to change to the ANZ AirNZ Plat.
We had other business at branch, and it was done pretty much then and there. Certainly no long interview...

Phone call was only about twenty minutes. But a lot of paperwork required and a number of short phone calls. My only relationship with ANZ has been as a corporate signatory.

Yep that was my experience too, it was a regular ANZ Cashback card. It was too simple. The only hiccup was when they asked me what I wanted for my limit and what I asked for was less than the minimum $8,000.

"If you are missing bonus Status Points you are eligible to receive, let us know by filling in the 'Flights' section of the online claim form and we'll look into it for you."

Where's the option that states missing Bonus Status Points?

Yeah interesting it doesn't really have a field to add any details when you do the flight claim option. The claim missing airpoints page states though:
"Bonus Status Points earned by ANZ Airpoints Visa Platinum and ANZ Visa Business Airpoints cardholders who are Nominated Earners normally show on your Airpoints account after your completed qualifying flight^. If they don't show in four weeks, you can make a claim by following the 'Flights' process above."
Interested to hear if it works as I'm planning to get a platinum card for my partner to get the bonus status points for some already booked flights.

Means theoretically you could double dip with another card.
