Rollover on Gold?
I'm about to reach enough SP for Gold and still a number of months from the anniversary. I don't think I'll reach Elite either.
So what happens to the additional SP that I earned on the current year? Do I just lose them? I know with Elite they can rollover.
Could it also be good idea to fly Qantas once I've hit the cap and work on their program?

Just so I'm clear, I think my situation is similar to OP. I'm currently Gold and my next anniversary to retain Gold is June this year. My next flight in April will tick me over easily to retain Gold. I also don't think I'll ever hit Elite either. Does that mean that all my booked Air NZ flights from April - June this year will be essentially wasted SPs...? Or will my Gold anniversary date change as soon as I retain Gold next month?

Alternatively accrue those flights to another program ifthat is of interest. And of course you’d still earn $APs as well, no not a total loss.

If you have flights planned/booked between Apr-Jun, what is the shortfall to make Elite? It might be easier to make Elite than you think by adding in a SP run….

If you're AKL based, it will be a bit more expensive, but something like Auckland to HKK via CHC
if you're CHC based, similar to the WLG route, target NPE/TRG/NPL via AKL
