I don't know for sure, but the app suggests that it does. I have an LX booking, the app is showing the return flights to New Zealand, one flight on LX and one on NZ and under "potential trip earnings" there it shows a bonus SP for the LX flight. The flights are not until May so someone who flies earlier will be able to report.

Bonus status points not counting towards tally?
Not sure if anyone else is having any issues with this, but this morning flying DUD-CHC, I earned 20 Status Points with a bonus 10 Status Points, however my counter for “points needed for a banked year” has only gone down by 20 points. Same with a flight earlier in the week, the ANZ bonus status points aren’t counting towards my banked year. Anyone else struck this?

They said it replaces the 1 SP per $225 (I think) so I assume the bonus is credit card SP. NOT the flight SP.
Any other person had any experience with the bonus ?

The fact the T&C are so vague and ANZ are still telling people that you only earn the points when you book with the card it's hardly surprising there is confusion.

It makes no sense for it to be a static bonus from ANZs perspective. Why would they want to pay money to Air NZ each time a customer books with a different card? Because as far as I was aware, that's how these deals work. The CC holders pay a fee to Air NZ to cover the costs of APD/SP

Well I am glad to be proven wrong then, but given that support staff have said on the phone that they think it is only supposed to be for purchases made with the card, I am remaining skeptical that it will be changed and that this is currently a mistake. But if in six months time it is still like this then I will be very happy to be proven wrong. I would absolutely take a 50% SP bonus for the sake of a small credit card fee

Yip it's no mistake I had this confirmed via multiple sources (Air NZ and ANZ) when I posted this a lot earlier on despite some people being told by ANZ it was for flights purchased with the card only.
As I've been saying for a long time though I just don't see how this can last and how they'll be able to backtrack on this change.
It's hard to put an exact number on it so early on in the year but based on some of the travel I've got booked already and my typical travel (which was ~70-80 Air NZ flights per year pre Covid and has the potential to be up there again this year) the extra SP I'll earn this year vs earn from card spend alone in previous years is truly crazy.
Some people who fly regularly could easily be seeing 500 SP per year just from holding the card. That's a pretty unbeatable deal for $150!
