You can add climate positive delivery to the "give back" leaf or the offset. No need to buy anything you don't need.
You can also have a climate positive delivery on your Tassie holiday house offset.You can add climate positive delivery to the "give back" leaf or the offset. No need to buy anything you don't need.
Good to know Fiona, thanks for the update. Now I just have to wait until after 31 January….Just an update.
My new status year has just started and my Green tier was renewed. Happened automatically with the rollover (I had completed 5 activities in 2022-2023).
Was able to select my 50SC reward too.

Hold on - did you need to do the 5 activities again in your 2023-2024 year to select the 50sc again?Just an update.

No my year just started again yesterday.Hold on - did you need to do the 5 activities again in your 2023-2024 year to select the 50sc again?
The implication, as mentioned up thread is you’ll be limited to taking 50 SCs in the one status year for GT Yr 2 onwards.No my year just started again yesterday.
I had completed the 5 activities during 2022-2023.
The option to select an Award only appeared on my account yesterday after the new year started.
Or call. Someone else recently got comped SG (from PS) when they realised they’d be 1 SC short.Thanks to odd numbered PC SC I'm a whole 1 SC short to requal WP this year. Was hoping this would not be the case re Green Tier opening up reward selection in the next status year, guess I will need to find a nice short status run.
I don't know the answer to your actual question, but IMHO a better option would be to book a QF flight you need/want for the future (cash or award) and offset that.Carbon offset - does anyone have experience in getting that leaf when booking a (cheap) flight but not actually turning up for the flight? All my DOM flights are booked via travel agencies and hence I can‘t add the offset. So was wondering whether I can book the cheapest SYD-MEL or so flight, offset it but never actually fly it to get the leave. Definitely worth 50 SCs on my view.
Yeah, same. Bummer. Though dropping a level makes SG/WP 100 or 200 higher to re-attain?That means if I decide to retain I’m going to need to find an additional 50 SCs compared with what I thought. Might let my status slip then try to get it back next membership year.
Thanks for sharing.No my year just started again yesterday.

Yeah, I'll be async as well. Will need everything I can get to retain WP.The implication, as mentioned up thread is you’ll be limited to taking 50 SCs in the one status year for GT Yr 2 onwards.
I’m about to get my 1st GT year and take the 50 SCs in August (1st month of new member year). I think I’ll be happy then with a rolling 50 SCs at the start of each year thereafter while ever GT is around.
I was hoping for a 100 SC rollover from PC+ but that’s proved to be a bridge too far…
Yep, you could book SYD-MEL (Ret) for ~12mths time, pay the offset at time of booking and still get the leaf a few days after booking.You don't have to wait until you fly the flight to get the leaf, you should get it within a few days of purchasing the flight and offsetting it.
Book a cheap reward far in the future, offset at booking. Few days later get the leaf. With any luck, Qantas will change the schedule of your flight between now and travel date, at which stage you call, say that doesnt work, and cancel for free. Worst case scenario, no change schedule, and you will cancel online. You will get your taxes and points, minus 6k points for cancellation fee (per person). Make sure to use a credit card you will keep up to the flight, to make refund of taxes painless.Carbon offset - does anyone have experience in getting that leaf when booking a (cheap) flight but not actually turning up for the flight?

I called Qantas about exactly the same issue - 1SC short - and they were happy to move me to WP knowing that I didn't have any flights booked before the end of my membership year.Thanks to odd numbered PC SC I'm a whole 1 SC short to requal WP this year.

I didn't get that. My member year starts/ends 31 March - I did my 5 leaves prior to 31 March (like a few days before it expired), I never received the option for points or status credits.No my year just started again yesterday.

Or simply make it a busines rewards, and cancel it when you get the leaf.Book a cheap reward far in the future, offset at booking. Few days later get the leaf.

Are business reward cancelable for no fee?I didn't get that. My member year starts/ends 31 March - I did my 5 leaves prior to 31 March (like a few days before it expired), I never received the option for points or status credits.
I called the customer care centre and they are still "looking into it". They will probably wait till my Gold status expires before offering the status credits. Hopefully, I won't need the extra credits with the amount of flying I'm doing this membership year, but you never know.

No, I don't believe so. Not any more.Are business reward cancelable for no fee?
Way back when QF had a 50% bonus SC offer I had a BNE-LAX-BNE in Y.Thanks to odd numbered PC SC I'm a whole 1 SC short to requal WP this year. Was hoping this would not be the case re Green Tier opening up reward selection in the next status year, guess I will need to find a nice short status run.
