Accor Live Limitless - Queries

[Ace87]

Hi

As we all know, Accor is one of the best transfer partners of Axis miles transfer as of now.

Considering the above, had few queries. Hope someone could shed some light on this.

1. Can we book rooms for someone else using the Accor points.
2. Can we book multiple rooms if the owner of the account is travelling as well. Basically book rooms for my entire family by using my points.
3. Have heard you can use points for everything and not just rooms. For eg food, activities, spa, hotel transfers etc. Could someone confirm the same.
4. Can we dine at the Accor hotels (like Novotel) using points without staying there.

These are few things that come to my mind. Please do add any other features of using the Accor points I'm not aware of as well.

Appreciate all the help as always.

Thanks

Do

I don't want to. Because I love to travel and I find these points to be less sometimes. I transfer as soon as I get the points. My card is not even 3 months old. I have points collected in UA, Turkish, Accor, ITC, Vistara and Krisflyer. You never know when one has to go somewhere. So I always keep backup. Can someone recommend me how to get Reserve? Its not even 3 months since I got Magnus.

Don't buy reserve. It's useless with expected devaluation of Magnus and Reserve. You can transfer max 5 lacs points in a year at customer ID level

Why will they claw back the points?

Could be the next step

Could be the next step

Magnus is useless now after devaluation.

1. I don't think it's allowed by the rules. But it's more dependent on the property and few will complain about getting revenue.
2. Yes
3. For food redemption rate is 1000 points / 10 EUR. I don't know but assume rate for rest is the same.
4. Yes

So real value is in room bookings unless you have miles to throw around for food etc.

Regarding booking multiple rooms for family if the account owner is traveling, how many rooms can we book for a trip? I'm trying to book Swissotel in Dubai but it is only allowing me to book a maximum of three rooms.

Thanks. I called to Accor customer care and they booked four rooms for me as four separate bookings. Also, when booking myself I was only able to pay for the room rate using ALL points but the customer care was able to pay for everything using ALL points.
