Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

[dairyfloss]

A word starting with “B” came to mind after telling us *after* the cunning plan worked!

I did mention it shortly after setting it up!

Honestly didn’t think the cart would hold

Not sure if this will last until I need to buy to re-qualify after Aug 30th, but I put the 3 relevant marketplace items in my cart after you folks started talking about things looking 'off' with the usual options. They remain in there for now:

You did indeed!

Clever B…

Just like QF… I’m sorry, not sorry?

Cart is just a cookie. Wondering if it s reverse engineerable.

I think I was still sitting on the Holiday home offset for last year (ending July) so probably didn’t even occur to me to load it up again!

Dang!

It’s actually tied to the login, with QF. I was able to pick it up from any logged in device and check the items were still there over the long and winding road to GT glory

Is there anyway to still add the home offset to the cart? I’m actually in TAS and the recycling & solar company aren’t available in TAS.

Nope - gone since June

I've had these things in my QF Marketplace cart since QF started messing with ways and cost to attain GT (May?), and earlier this week after clocking over to my new membership year I put my plan to the test.

I couldn't get the 'Climate Positive Delivery' I'd put in the cart back then to transact, but I got away with the main one I was hoping for which was the TAS offset at the original price for that Lifestyle leaf. Also had the Charity Redemption in there, which is still available today as it was in May.

I then ordered some Four Pillars Modern Aussie gin on sale and in combination with my PC+ discount & a wine voucher that was just 3K points delivered to get the Shopping leaf. Survey leaf was already lit up, so I just needed a flight carbon offset which I applied to a DSC CR booking; and viola - GT acheived in the first 5 days of the new member year, and 50 SCs on the way soon!

This might be the last year I'll bother with it though... as I already have a free version of the recycling pick-up thing in my council area, I won't pay an extra 3c per KWh for 'green energy', and am unlikely to forego hotel status benefits by using Qantas Hotels!

Cheers,
Matt.

In the past, most of my GT activity has posted a leaf around the 48 hr mark. Last Thu, SYD+1 and I took the opportunity to purchase our one, and probably only offset on seperate bookings, paying cash and received a seperate email invoice for the offset.

But still no points (10x per $, should be a whopping 15 pts) nor leaf (points and leaf usually post at the same time).

I just noticed on the website:

^ To be recognised for the Green Tier activity, Qantas Frequent Flyer members must tick ‘Voluntary Carbon Program’ on eligible flights during the booking process or in My account. This will be recognised as a Green Tier activity seven days after purchase.

Explicitly stating 7 days now. No biggy if that’s the case but is that what peeps are seeing?

I am not sure if it took 7 days, but it was certainly at least 72 hours before my leaf posted for a recent offset

Mine in the above articles was 3 days from when I booked the flight

Yeah, I figured it must have been for yours!

At least the in writing “seven days” is a reasonably short time to quiz them if nothing turns up (instead of 4 to 6 wks etc).

The "during the booking process" surprise me. I couldnt find the option in my last J domestic booking, and I searched everywhere. I got it after the booking though. Now waiting for the green leaf.

It’s at the tail end of the booking process where they ask if you want a hotel, car, insurance or fries with that order

Did you jump to “Express Checkout”? That bypasses the offset option.

The non-express checkout gives:
1. Upgrade, Hotel, Car and Insurance options, move on
2. Accept fare rules
3. PAX details / contact
Which brings you to the payment page:
1. Trip Summary
2. Points Plus Pay option
3. Seat selection

and finally “Voluntary Carbon Program” just above payment details….


and now double what it used to be on SYD-MEL!

BTW, did you use points or $ to add it after?

Either way, expect to have to chase it up if it hasn’t arrived after 7 days.
