)Sure hope it works too...would be a nice treat on our August vacation. Not sure what's required for the Air New Zealand card, maybe one of our May travelers will test out the deal.
Good luck everyone!

Now we can start the discussion of whether or not this will be honored. My feeling is that it will not w/o the proper Airpoints from Air New Zealand. The rate code states that it deals with redemption ( of Airpoints I would assume). Unless the bank of Australia/New Zealand has a redemption program, it would be a good bet that ANZ is Air New Zealand.

we need a "vetted" list, to ensure greater future success.

Am I the only who thinks that the Fare Alert list is a very, very bad idea.
I am willing to bet there are reps from many major booking sites and airlines subscribed to that list.
Now they don't even have to monitor FT, we helpfully email them about every mistake!!

Plea!
OMG - I only popped out of the house for a bit of fresh air (off sick today), & missed this - my brother lives 80 miles from Melbourne & tries to get in as often as possible. Never has enough money for these kind of places (teacher).
Could anyone who is going to cancel their reservation, as I'm sure 80% of you will, please contact me first to see if name additions/changes possible, as would mean a great deal if he and my sister-in-law could enjoy this place - anyone familiar with my posts, know I've been finding tons of similar deals for everyone here - from presidential suites to BA redemption errors, which I haven't even been able to use for myself!
Many thanks & would refund your 78c/night by Paypal, might even pay double, or quadruple even for Dec26th-30th for the Boxing Day cricket tests!
