Accor international booking - Forex transaction?

[Siva05]

I'm planning to book accor hotel outside india (indonesia). i'm going use my points, yet i need to use Atlas for remaining amount.

i have chosen INR as currency in Accor App. Still i have a doubt whether it will be a forex transaction or domestic.

if forex, then still atlas is better isn't? it will give back 10% back as miles (AKA 18% accor points)

Any other hack to avoid forex?

Yes you will get 10% return for hotels on atlas.
It will be an Indian rupee transaction but you will get charged 1.18% dynamic currency conversion fees

okay. May i know what is that 1.18% Fee

Also check the Accor price in the local currency (Indonesia rupiah), in US dollars and Indian rupees.
Compare all three rates on xe.com and let us all know which rate is the best.
the Indian rupee rate may be 4.13% higher

If its a prepaid booking they would charge the amount now. if not only at the time of stay!!
