Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

[DeKa]

Perhaps @DeKa can advise as to how long it took for their green leaf to be awarded?

Mine still not awarded .. I followed up Recyclesmart mid week and got exactly the same answer as above (sent every Friday.). I followed up QFF on Friday.

Leaf just sprouted but no 10x points - all 15 of them (or there abouts)!

Oh, the 10x pts / $ posted in my QBR account. Never seen that before - alas, they don’t count towards QBR Tiers.

 

[termx]

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

Took 4 days for the carbon offset to post in my case. Now sitting on 3 leaves - give back (Oz Harvest), learning (Saveful) & flying (carbon offset).

I'm not going to bother chasing this anymore. I'm just going to fly more to cover the 50SC. I'll still buy wine because, well, we like wine, but the rest will end up costing me more than flying. I'm hardly going to stay in a hotel in Brisbane to get a leaf and I'm also not going to fly around the country to get one. We carbon offset in any case. None of the green initiatives work now that we live in an apartment, especially when we have a fixed energy supplier. Oh well.

We took on the fixed gas supplier to replace a 14 year old hot water system (which they funded the capital cost)
And eye-opening
One supply charge became 40 separate charges
And they DISCONNECTED the solar panels …
Gas bill went from $25 per month to $60

The terms and conditions of wine state it needs to be a case of 6 or 12 to be eligible for green tier. However there are a heap of single bottle wines with the green tier logo / in the green tier wine category. Has anyone purchased a single bottle since the change and had the purchase count?

Confirmed.

I got burnt in June this year from the enhancement on offsetting one's holiday home (July year end for me) and so pounced when I saw yet another enhancement to GT qualification.

Just ordered one single bottle of Green Tier shiraz from Qantas Wines, using the $50 PC+ voucher. Net cost to me $39.10. Ordered on 5th Sept, green leaf credited on 9th Sept, wine delivered 10th Sept.

I've ploughed my WP "thank you for your loyalty" points straight back into GT donations to the Reef and now have 4 of 5 GT leaves completed. A one night stay at a BNE Accor in November will mean that I'm done for this year - and possibly done with GT forever at this rate.

Get that (one-bottle) leaf while you still can!

Finally received my leaf for using paid RecycleSmart.

So how long did that one take in the end?

Eco hotels - will the stay qualify for Green tier still if a voucher is used to part-pay (e.g. the PC+ $100)?

Shouldn’t matter. A bit like buying green wine with a voucher.

Good point. Nice one, thanks, the sense check is always helpful.

Can confirm this also - had to hurriedly use a QF Hotels voucher for an eco-hotel to get the 5th leaf before 31 July rollover date (RIP home & car carbon offsetting). It worked.

When did the leaf post? After X days after booking or Y weeks after checkout?

After checkout

 

[Big John]

Just succeed in gaining my 5th green leaf for the 2nd time.

 

[SYD]

After checkout

How long after? Same as the 4 wks for points to post?

 

[Aeryn]

How long after? Same as the 4 wks for points to post?

Was about 3 weeks and yes same day as the hotels points hit.

Ok.

For those playing at home, QF Hotels usually post exactly 4 wks after checkout. So anyone else should make allowance for that timing wise.

 

[Growing Older]

How long after? Same as the 4 wks for points to post?

2 days after check-out

 

[SYD]

2 days after check-out

Was about 3 weeks and yes same day as the hotels points hit.

Ok, for those playing at home - a green leaf anytime from 2 days after to check out to maybe 3wks but I would allow 4 wks for now!
