Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

confession: i've never booked a flight intending to cancel for a refund before, but i'll need to in order to get the last flights tick. do i read correctly the only way to do so is a domestic business flight? Assuming cancel within 24hrs will cancel the green tick.
 
Has anyone had any issues/delays with Green Tier benefits crediting for accommodation? Last time my leaf / bonus points came through well before the standard accommodation points, but this time the standard points came through a month after booking, but no leaf/green tier points. Worth an enquiry at this point?
I just finished a stay at Ovolo Canberra for my last leaf.

Two days later, I have the leaf as well as the Green Tier bonus points for the stay.

Of course, the standard points for the stay have not arrived yet. I anticipate they will take a month.

If you haven't received your leaf and it's been so long, I think reaching out is warranted.

I’m in the same boat, only having international J fares in forward bookings to offset at a high cost, currently.

Thinking to book a one way short domestic CR, and just give up the 6K points lost for the cancelation after the leaf shows up. I would also be paying the offset in points, and it may well be a net saving in points difference vs offsetting a business fare.

Cheers,
Matt.
