Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

[Cessna 180]

I like that the real focus of this thread is not the "green" save the planet stuff, but what the points incentive is. I guess that answers my question

I do not think anybody trying to get the green tier is doing it for any reason other than the few extra SC or in some cases the 10,000 points.

Anyway, I had to stay in Brisbane tonight so booked into the Ibis which is one of the supposedly green hotels. Also, at $350 one of the cheapest
I wonder if I will get the leaf? I presume not as I did not book it through the Qantas Green site.

I will live in hope however as I get Q points on Accor bookings.

Only if booked through Qantas Hotels.

Yes, I was thinking as much. However nothing wrong with a little bit of positive thinking, occasionally stranger things have happened and worked in our favour.

Incredible how one whole category is just buying Qantas wine...

Handy for objection handling though. Next time a case of wine arrives I look forward to informing my wife that it is not another case of wine, it's a dozen carbon offsets.

Yes, as a non drinker, it is annoying. We are a very sustainable house, but the Qantas green tier is really just Qantas green washing so they can say they are doing something for the environment.

What I really want to know is ow is, where does the "green money", i.e. carbon offset fee go to. I see nothing or read nothing about the thousands of trees they want to plant or other projects that were talked of.
I do my green thing, I have 12.4Kw's of solar panels, a 15Kw battery, a battery car powered only by surplus electricity from my panels. I run an energy efficient hot-water system and ultra efficient pool pump. I help my father plant 80,000 soft wood tree and 22,000 hard wood trees yet I'm eligible for Green status
