Is Qantas pocketing carbon offset payments?

[MikeG]

It has come to my attention that carbon offsets I had paid on my flights had not been attributed to the fl;ights, nor had I received any reward points or green tier leaf for contributing in this way.

So is Qantas undertaking deceptive conduct and pocketing funds paid on carbon offsets? Or is it a question of incompetence rather than deceit?

Thoughts?

I don't think anyone here is suggesting there is logic or reason to the process, but it has been reported by several AFF members that if the flight to which the carbon off-set has been applied is also linked via an ABN to a QBR account, then the carbon offset green leaf does not apply to the FF member account.

Could the login simply be that the leaf can be applied to individuals (persons) but not companies (organisations)? Though, based on the comments here, this applies only to cash bookings but reward bookings get a different treatment which does challenge the logic.

So what you’re saying is I need to book the flight without the abn, claim the credits and the leaf and then add the abn to the booking all in the name of getting that pesky leaf? that’s nuts.

That's what worked for me. Except I booked a domesitc business flight, without ABN, got the credit, got the leaf, got the prize. then cancelled and got the refund...

offset is not refunded. Really funny to see the card points 13000 + 1 Qantas affinity bonus point. lol

Good plan

Has the cost of offsets suddenly got my expensive? A Perth-Sydney is now 3746 points!
