Accor Plus Membership Purchase : The Do's and Don'ts for Maximizing Your Benefits. | Hand on purchase experience

I am expecting about 20000 more points in the coming week, and then I would go for the membership, and make the changes to my bookings to avail the cheaper price (given the prices don't increase 🤣 😉)

Haha great. Also, the prices do increase, Happened to me personally and the availability also reduces, watch out for that. Have a great trip! 🙂

Thanks 🙂 As I'm travelling in October end (still 2 months away), I'm hoping they don't change much till August end, when I plan to make the changes.

Prices decrease too for Accor, ITC and Marriot(points).

Nope, you get all the vouchers including the upgrade voucher as well. Confirmed with 2 different sales people. Their website also mentions that the only difference is the free night stay (excluding breakfast).

Are you sure we get all the dining vouchers with the 4k accor traveller membership. The way it gets portrayed on their site, it seems you get those with the explorer membership.

We do get Digital Vouchers.

I knew you would say that 🤣 I have made all fully refundable bookings, and once I purchase the membership, I will make the cheaper bookings, and cancel the refundable ones.

Why I didn't do this before: Because I am constantly transferring Axis ER's to Accor, and I do not want failed transfers before 31st August (devaluation date) due to the new membership number (which many have reported). I am taking no risk before 31st August. 🤣

Did the same transferred all points with original number upgraded to new number now no risk.

How much time did it take for you to get the vouchers delivered?

Wouldn't they price match if it decreases in future? Have you tried?

For Marriott, they do return the points (I haven't tried this personally). As for Accor and ITC, I have no idea. I canceled and re-booked.

Thanks. I have booked a non-refundable option and the points have already been deducted. The remaining EUR 22 is to be paid for which I added my card. However, the booking page says something similar to what @Akshay9512 mentioned. I have checked the card unbilled statement and there is no charge as of now.

Moreover, my status night is still at 0.

Did u get charged now? If yes, how many days it took?

You can contact the hotel and ask them to charge you, then provide a confirmation PDF.

No difference. It’s the nights that u can add to this 20 that can make a small difference. Another 10 will get u gold status small upgrades earlycheckin/ late checkout. U can match with Qatar privilege club silver

 

[Thomas244]

can you list the vouchers you got?

It’s a massive list and u have to click each one And see details which is tedious and they are not numbered. In summary 1 night at Pullman delhi 5500. 1 cake. 1 buffet anywhere. 2 buffet @ Novotel kochi. 2 night stay at Novotel kochi for 4999. One one night at Novotels in Chennai & Bangalore grand mercury mysuru. One one buffet at all these novotels chennai Bangalore mysuru. Spa service discounts. Dining discounts For groups of 6 to 12. Another 50% off stay at Novotel kochi voucher.

I think the traveller membership is worth it. It just costs 4000 pts.
You get a ton of vouchers (some are straight-up free meals not just % discounts)
Additional 10% off and red hot rooms.

Can you tell us why you feel its not worth paying for it?

Are you sure about additional 10% off ? That means somebody who books for 40k points will break-even with 10% extra discount = 4kpoints

Is this discount over and above the normal member discounted rate

Edit: nevermind, I found it.
Even I bought traveller membership, where are you finding these vouchers? In the app?

Yeah above the normal member rate. It's not applicable in all hotels though.
You can compare IBIS Nashik from the screenshot to the rates you see. For the same days.
