My particular situation is I have a late evening flight out of ORD and a 23 hr (!!) layover in LAX, departing for SYD the next evening, both on UA metal. Am I SOL on lounge access at ORD since they require a "same day" connecting ticket in Polaris? Seems to me that would preclude access to anyone flying a red eye and making a morning international connection from using the lounges.

If you start in ORD and have a connection in LAX, you do not
have access to the Polaris Lounge in ORD. Requriements:
A boarding pass for travel in long-haul international business class on a Star Alliance member airline
Customers may only access a United Polaris lounge at the departure airport for their international business class flight.footnote2,footnote40

Does it matter if it's a NZ flight number on United Polaris metal?

I dont think so....Polaris access is on departure. The only Polaris arrivals lounge is in SFO. Consult https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly...es/access.html
It's actually really simple regarding access rules for PL on arrival: UA operated long haul flights with onward connection. *A partner would only gets access on departure. In other words, if your arrive back to the states on NZ, or ORD, LAX, SFO is your final destination on the return (even on UA), no dice on PL.

The long-haul segment (AKL-IAH) is on NZ, not UA. No access into the PL upon arrival/connection onto ORD.
UA longhaul: departure, connecting, arrival (with connection)
*A longhaul: departure only

Was anyone able to get a creative routing? The routing rules were quite liberal, even mentioning stopovers in HNL allowed. I was able to OJ and stopover in AKL but i couldn't make RAR work in my haste. There were quite a few options though

This is funny, you think we had time to plan our itinerary on Thur with less than 1 hour window to book? I was barely able to plan a stopover in AKL which I'm glad to take if it indeed sticks.

Any tips for uncovering the United PNR? I have a single domestic United segment (ANZ flight number). I've added my UA number in the ANZ manage my booking link, but it has not shown up in my UA account. Would like to change the seat on this leg.

I just sent a PM to Air New Zealand on Twitter -- got the United PNR within 5 min. They were fast.

Post what you decide. I'm also a Delta DM but because of my Marriott Rewards Platinum Premier status, I do have complimentary United Airlines Silver Premier status which gives me 25% bonus. I status matched with them in 2013 so doubt I could again and really not interested if I could. That gives me 25% on top of the 125%. But I'm thinking VS at 200% or Asiana might be more valuable. I like VS because I use them a lot but read their partner awards are quite good.

Mine was ORD-LAX (UA) LAX-RAR-(4 nights)-RAR-SYD (NZ). One night SYD. Then SYD-LAX (UA) LAX-ORD (AS).
I found on google flights multi city but had to use ITA and bookwithmatrix to push it to priceline

United allows status match every 5 years, so you could do it just for the bonus miles. That's what I'm considering doing, though if I do I may go ahead and fly them again just to complete the challenge and get status through the end of 2020, this flight to NZ alone will get me nearly all the way there, I think.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. I initially got excited about the implications of a UA status match, but there don't actually seem to be many in this case.

What is the best program to credit the miles for the ORD-SYD flight so that I obtain status with an airline that Delta will allow a status challenge from. I wanted to use the error fare as a shortcut to elite status for all the upcoming travel I have on Delta.
