[QUOTE="RichardMEL, post: 2318546, member: 52678"] Agree in general but this whole green thing IS incentivising extra spend as is - eg stay in an eco hotel (either via QF hotels, or with your QFF# they get revenue), buy greem wines (through QF wines), buy carbon offsets etc... these are all going to generate SOME extra revenue for QF. I imagine it may be something like "purchase carbon offset for your QF flight, get X SC bonus" or "purchase eco friendly wine from QF wine, receive X SC bonus" type arrangement. What I guess is unclear to me is are the extra SC attained once one gets the "Qantas Green status" and in which case how does that work? Would it be attain Green and get 50 or 100 bonus SC? I think they'd potentially get more bites by incentivising the individual categories .. I mean even if it was a carbon offset of say $2 on a MEL-SYD flight generates 2SC (one can't expect big numbers) vs a SYD-LAX say generating 20SC those are things that may get some on board to do it. Attaining Green via 5 out of the 6 items listed seems a far more serious (and complex) commitment for the potential reward. As always the devil will be in the (likely poorly worded :) ) detail.
