Hello

I am looking for some experience regarding the time it takes for a Green Tier Hotel Stay to percolate through the system?

We have a gold membership that is 40 status credits short and the year ends at the end of Feb. to maintain gold. If we took a local eco hotel booking would that be enough time or would it not appear until March? Sometimes they can take ages.

Thanks!

While the 50 SCs (or 10k points) usually post within 24–48 hours of completing your fifth leaf, the Sustainable Stay"leaf is the bottleneck. Qantas Hotels can take anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks to verify an eco-stay with the property and trigger the leaf.

Yes - just as I suspected. Invaluable. Thank you! Begins to limit the choices of Green Tier items because of the short time span.

Others here reported very recently that a Green Stay posted the leaf a few days after the stay while the regular points took the requisite 4 wks to post.

Could be worth checking with their customer support. Probably worth a shot if you're this close to the status.
