Yes. 92K SkyMiles and $189 for 2 RT tickets to Auckland, and then I used 40K Chase points to book RT between Auckland and Sydney. I also used about 200K IHG points to stay at Intercontinental Auckland (just opened 2 days before we checked in) and Intercontinental Sydney. Final night we stayed in a balcony room at Park Hyatt in Auckland which I booked through AmEx FHR so I used my $200 annual booking credit to cut the price down to about $500 for the night and received $150 to spend at the hotel and free breakfast this morning.
Ended up being a reasonable spend for such a cool trip. Bonus points for the exchange rate - I think NZ was around 61-62 cents to the dollar and Australia was around 65 cents.
