Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

[SydneySwan]

I offset my Adelaide Hills holiday home yesterday and no green tick yet.

My leaf has turned green!

Did points post from your offset purchase? For me these seemed to happen at the same time

Seems somehow I have two green leaves. Did a quiz in Wellbeing app and bought some wine.

Not interested in 50SC. That would be 1/8 of 1% of my lifetime tally and I am requalified WP until end of next year. (P1 is not on my radar.)

Never bothered with Green tier before.

So, 10k points - can it be worth chasing, given I may value that at a bit over $100.

You can get the rest for a fraction of $100 but one leaf requires you to use points (the Give Back donation). So the net points haul is about 6k from memory.

But if you sit on those leaves until 2-3 mths out from the end of your member year and do the rest you can take 50 SCs at the start of your new year. If that’s of any value?

No because I used points to pay. And yes I do realise it is only a 0.7c pp return .

Has anyone noticed that the supposed challenge in the Qantas Health App as 1 of the 5 is simply not there
I emailed Qantas but got a response basically saying tough luck working on it etc
Had anyone else been able to access it ?

The issue is that you have already taken the quiz and it refreshes once per year. Last year they gifted a green leaf to people in this situation but this year they seem not to be doing that. I guess we'll just have to wait it out until the quiz comes back one year from when we last did it.

I completed all the leaves just before the end of my year in February, in order to take 50 SCs in my new membership year.

After I selected the award the leaf for the quiz was already filled in and the Green Tier progress says I have four activities to go.

I assumed they still haven't figured out how to reset the quiz and have continued to grant it automatically.

Seems to be randomly applied at the moment. Mine wasn’t filled and I couldn’t access the quiz, but then I offset one of my flights and the quiz leaf appeared at the same time.

How annoying !

I can't remember when I took the quiz and thus can't time it before my membership year runs out.

Does anyone know how to carbon offset already booked flights?

It won't allow me to use the link function on any of my bookings (on different browsers, or computers) to do this. The website actively directs you to do this as part of achieving green tier.

I've had some long, circular and frustrating conversations with QANTAS regarding how to do this, and they are apparently unable to do this over the phone - and tell me there is no option in their manual to do this for bookings already made.

It seems a bit annoying to have to book a business class fully refundable fare to offset the couple dollars to get this (and hopefully not have it taken back once the booking is cancelled) lol. I've already got 9 bookings for the next few months.

My experience with the call centre has taken a dramatic turn for the worse since missing out on gold/platinum last year with lack of flying.

Hopefully any answers can be of use to other people in the same situation.

I cancelled a flight that I had purchased carbon offsets for for the green leaf and my leaf is still green.

Even if you can get the offset link to work I don't think it will process. I've used the link on at least two existing bookings and the offset and payment never got processed.

Offsetting new bookings still work though.

It's a very niche issue so I wouldn't blame the call centre for not knowing what to do. Personally, I don't think it's worth the weeks/months/years it will take to fight this.

Book cheapest one-way Flex Y sometime in the distant future then continue as above.

It's been more than a year for me now. I actually went through last years points activity and saw the 100 points credited on 4 April 23. I reached out to [email protected] they said they'd get back to me within 48h. That was 168h ago...

I reached out to them about this too and they promised to get back to me within 48-72 hours,. That was four months ago.

On the phone I asked for a reference number to follow up which I did 2 days ago. Yesterday I received a call from the original agent telling me that they gave the fifth leaf. I'm happy with the outcome. But they are not doing anyone a favour by making it so difficult. What a wast of resources on their end too...
