Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

[sevenfourtyseven]

Finally have my final leaf after QF Customer Services had to investigate a carbon offset paid via points.

Am I correct in my understanding that if I credit the status credit bonus after my renewal month, it will count for the new year?

A friend has followed my advice to seek out Green tier as a way to top up the SCs he needs to renew status in early 2023. He completed everything, and has all the leaves showing except for the flight carbon offset, which he completed via MMB some weeks back... but it sounds like it was against a booking that was made via his company TA, and so it may be tagged to an ABN or company profile.

Was this a scenario that we've discussed and confirmed prevents the leaf being applied on it's own? Any success with this, or with manually crediting where it has been on an ABN or company agency booking?

Cheers,
Matt.

It counts for the year you are in at the time you select it.

The flight that gave me the final leaf was a company booked sector via travel co-ordinator. No leaf showed up for over a month, so I just sent a request via the website and they credited the final leave after about two weeks.

Great - thanks! I'll tell him to do the same.

Unsure if this was discussed before but when I go to offset future flights I have booked, the only option given is to pay using points (instead of cash). Any ideas what's going on here? Also, I don't see the green challenge in QF Wellbeing app. (My program year started yesterday). Any ideas?

Seems to be a limitation of the system and don’t expect a green leaf to sprout automatically.

Well documented limitation of the app to not reactivate for those going for a 2nd Green Tier year. The work around is to contact them and they’ll push through GT if you have another 4x leaves.

^is it better for this issue to contact via phone or email for well-being app issue? Or well-being app support form?

I contacted them via the app, and they responded and resolved via email a couple of weeks later

Cheers,

Yes.

Worth a try, but in my case I had three contacts, one escalated to a supervisor. All denied.

You friend may be lucky, but consider a plan B.

I am thinking of doing this green stuff; a guy in the know said it wasn't hard, and the upside for the effort ticks the boxes.

Who knows where this evolutional zeal could finish.......? I could end up shaking a Tesla dealer's hands by Wednesday.............................

If QF didn’t offer SC for Green Tier I wouldn’t be bothering to do any of the required activities to get green tier (well other than the survey that can’t be done again at the moment).

I’m with you, there needs to be some quid pro quo here. As others have said QFA will monetise these outputs so it seems good business.

Definitely some missed opportunities where Qantas can work with partners for green leaf recognition:
* GreenPower on Red Energy
* Sustainable options on Uber - think the new Uber CarShare, UberPool, Uber eats delivered by bike, or maybe even by specifically booking an electric vehicle when riding?

Any thoughts about where else could a genuine difference could be made?

I thought we all lived in Tasmania for Green Tier purposes??

As a Tasmanian I resent that remark!
