Was a bit worried that my green leaf was automatically going to kick over before April which would have forced me to accept the status credits this membership year when I'd rather defer them to next so this works out OK for me. Even though it's an extra $25 that's still pretty good value wise and at least it's contributing to something positive.
Oh right it doesn't let you use cash - you gotta stump up the points. Damn. Certainly reduces the value proposition if selecting points as the reward.
Unless you time it when there‘s a general X% off sale (using points). Assuming that works?

I called last week and the week before, each time they "send an email" to get it fixed. Still no reward choice this morning, so I called.
Every little bit helps to tick over regular WP (Even with LTG)!
Just tried log out and log in, but no luck. Building up the strength to call again.Third call did the trick for my Green Award choice to appear
The operator told me to log out, he did something on his end, and when I logged back in the Qantas android mobile app I finally got the reward choice (immediately, while on the phone). Did he really do something, or was it just a matter of logging out / logging in? Was the previous email msg they send effective at all or not? I don't know. But for those waiting on their reward, I would try to log out and in again, just in case.
Now I am maxed out for 1st of April reset: 500SC rollover + 100SC PCP rollover + 50SC Green tier + 50SC loyalty bonus.
I just completed it and got 100 QF points, so it seems like it still exists, but it's no longer a way to get Green tier.
Got the wrong date too, and sure enough, I lost the green tier banner on 1st of April. I doubt this will auto-fix, and will require a call (I don't care about the banner, but who knows, there might be some specials just for green tier). I'll follow up sometime in a few weeks.
I tried calling; the agent I spoke to had no idea about how green tier worked and I had to walk her through it, including referring her to the FAQs.
in addition to above query... If i have a return domestic booking in Y, can i wait til i have flown the outbound before requesting carbon offset? Will the points cost reduce given the outbound has been flown and only paying for return sector to be offset? Trying to reduce points outlay as much as possible to get this leaf this membership year.
