Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

[burneracc]

Upgrading your flight will not give you extra SC's I believe, only the class originally booked.

Yup am aware of this, just trying to give myself the best odds I can to clear my classic upgrade request on the 17 hour flight.

Unrelated but I'm wondering how quickly I can check in and then out of the eco hotel booking I made just to get the leaf. Maybe I'll tell them I just booked it for a nap.

Talk of renting a room by the hour really scares me! If you check in, then say work called you in for an emergency, I don't think they'll care you left early. Bought and paid for, the leaf is yours surely. I may need this strategy soon enough for the same reason, what is the cheapest place you found?

Look at Ibis Styles Brisbane and Crystalbrook Newcastle.

I read it is more that you actually need to check in, swipe your room key ie you can't just 'book' and not show up. To be safe just it look like you stayed then just drop the card off for the self check out box

Confirming that a mattress run works if you want to go for the hotel Green Tier leaf.

Just need to show up at check in and leave later that day. Might need to come back the next day and hand in the room key though.

I'm struggling to log in to the qantas wellbeing app - I've defaulted to saveful for now, but is there any way of getting the wellbeing app working? It seems like a faster way of getting that leaf.

Anyway, I've just done my first survey in saveful - wondering if there are any anecdotes on how quickly the saveful leaf comes through. I have 30 days to hit green tier as I will be 23 SC short of WP before I fly long haul to the UK. My other option is to pay out of pocket to upgrade a work flight or to do some tiny status run, so on the whole I think GT will be cheapest for me.

For the rest, I'm planning on (not) staying at an eco hotel, which is a remarkably un-green thing to do, order wine, have already donated points yesterday (leaf posted today!), and offset a flight.

just seen the following on the qantas site;

I'll keep trying to log in every day or so in the meantime.

Ibis styles Elizabeth St Brisbane is about the cheapest Green hotel. But need to complete the stay to get the tick...

Yes, the fast check out box would be great. Or just leave the key in the room and go.

cheapest place I found within my narrow restrictions of the one week in the next month that I'm NOT in perth was the wool store place in Sydney. used points club voucher, net cost $190, get back ~2k points which will cover the carbon offset for the flight over
