Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

[DejaBrew]

Green Leaf didn't appear until 4 business days after Payment

From memory, the standard period is 7 days from payment.

I did just that for my upcoming April trip to HBA @Big John
Paid using Points, received the Marketplace Confirmation next day, but the Green Leaf didn't appear until 4 business days after Payment.

Thanks @Dmac59. Request submitted. Will see what happens.

I had a quick look through the thread but coudn't find anyone with this message :

I've just noticed this message under one of my bookings !

• Has anyone tried to use this for their green leaf ?
• If so, was the green leaf awarded when you redeemed the points or when the flight(s) were completed ?

I had issues with this last year from memory, paid with points after the booking. Took months and multiple calls to Manila to get it awarded.

+1 & I recently stayed at the Crystallbrook Kingsley. She received the green leaf and 150 Green bonus points the next day. That was the first I'ld heard of a "Green Bonus" (first "green hotel" I've booked) but, yes, there is a 150 point bonus per night for booking an eco hotel; it was also the fasted receipt of a leaf I've seen. She is still waiting for the standard points (it's only been two weeks so we're not expecting them for another couple of weeks yet).

We also stayed at the Mercure Hunter Valley for the two nights following the Kingsley. Those points posted 2 days after check-out! (Go figure.) But she is still to receive the 25% points club bonus points.

The following week +1 received 3,000 points described as "Qantas Hotels Booking - Bonus Points". There was a promotion where you earned 2,000 points for spending $500+, but where did the additional 1,000 come from?

As the Crystallbrook was her fifth green leaf she received the email a day later and happily accepted the 50 status credits.

I’m closing in on the end of the membership year. Again cutting it fine as once my most recent travel posts I’ll be sitting 40 SC short of WP retain.

So in the remaining 12 days I’m looking to Green Tier to get across the line.

I’ve sorted out the learning and flying leaves.

Just reading through this thread it seems like Red Energy is not the way to go even though this might be a possibility to pick up the lifestyle leaf, Recycle smart looks complicated for me and there isn’t time.

It looks like I ll be buying some wine, donating and forking out for a stay at a hotel on the list. Given the limited time I’m wanting to confirm that the leaves for these post when booked and paid for rather than when the stay takes place?

No. From https://www.qantas.com/hotels/campaigns/ecoaccredited-hotels

your stay will be recognised as a Green Tier activity four days after checkout.

Just running the numbers to see if I can qualify one last time...
jeez they really made it much harder with the recent round of changes to requirements.
This Resmart program looks like a lot of cost and hassle (as worthy as it may be).

:/

Let us know how you go... with a July 1st new-year I'd like to get one more across the line too

I think I'm just going to use the green power option with red energy. I imagine it will be slow to get the Leaf credited. But I have a bit of time up my sleeve. I ran the numbers and their non-green power rates are competitive. So worst case scenario I wait until the Leaf lands, then consider whether to keep the green power add on. It's a good incentive to reduce power usage

Added the GreenPower for the leaf as well, I got the leaf the day after the next monthly bill came out. So it is actually quite quick.

I’m sitting on 3 of 5 but will let GT rundown and won’t bother for the final year.

Fortunately, PC+ is in reach for the first time and 100 SC rollover is much more accessible than 50 SC via GT!

Both would be good but not to be…
