Amex advised me that my Qantas Ultimate and Platinum Edge travel insurance will not cover bookings if points were not redeemed from their programs - fair enough, no arguments there. I made several J award bookings (and hotel stays) outside of Amex points redemptions. Can anyone suggest paid...

So I'm planning a trip to NZ (start of September), and I was hoping to experience Air NZ Premium Economy one last time but given the relationship breakdown and the October divorce settlement, will I earn SCs and all that on a flight if I was to book it today? I can't seem to find anything on...
