Air NZ Airpoints Dollars

ASSUMPTION — UNIT: 1 Airpoints Dollar = NZ$1 of airfare (a CASH credit, not a loyalty mile), ≈ ₹52 at ₹56.4/NZD (Jul-2026). It sits far above the ₹/mile field because it is a different unit. Redeems at face on Air NZ fares (Star member, revenue-style). No India nonstop; reachable only via hotel hops (Accor 2000:30, Marriott 200:1, IHG 400:1), each torching ~55%+ vs the hotel's value — a last-resort exit.

Floor = the worst redemption you can always fall back on; ceiling = the best sweet-spot exit. The house value is what a disciplined traveller actually clears.
