Got below reply.

We confirm that the number of points you have been credited is correct.

Kindly be informed that expenses covered by the use of points, such as using your points directly at the hotel or for your reservation, do not give rise to the credit of points.

Similarly, for a stay that includes benefits such as Suite Night Upgrade or "free night", points will only be credited based on the eligible amount paid by the member.

Did you attach the invoice when filing for the claim?

It's flat 2000 points for 40 EUR ~ ₹3600. Can calculate points based on the room rate using this.

Yes i too got a loss of points when I dine in at a novotel restaurant
Initially they didn’t accept the booking by easy diner since it had discounted price
They said discounted booking they can’t accept points
So I cancelled ED and booked direct restaurant and had lunch
Thought of alacarte but after looking at the price menu I opted for buffet and at checkout it’s a qr scan in our mobile once the bill generated by restaurant but now comes the bad scenarios
A. Only price part can be paid by points not tax
B. After scan it automatically showed all consumed items with price only tax excluded so it took points from app which is not 4000 rupees for 20eur it took almost points equal to 80p value
I mean for 3000 bill it took 3800 around points
Good exploration so I decided ITC better👍View attachment 18070

if you have Accor plus then you would have get additional 16% (100%/No.of pac) discount on the bill.

None of the Indian cards were eligible

 

[grshnehete]

None of the Indian cards were eligible

Last year Accor was not part of Axis redemption.
So if the offer comes, mostly it will also have Axis ER points as well

 

[Harry1]

None of the Indian cards were eligible

Because there was no Indian partner. Hdfc and axis both added it recently.

One query.

If I already have points in Accor and convert to a paid membership, would that cause issues when the new number gets generated?

 

[phildunphy]

This is one of a crazy deal on Fairmont if you want to stay for 5 plus more night. This rate includes breakfast too, also reward points can be redeemed.

No. The loyalty points account will be merged with paid membership account. However your loyalty membership number will change.

 

[Maxwell]

Superb explanation about all the plus minus of any loyalty membership🙂
Thanks a lot👍

Thank you for the detailed explanation with Do's and don't's. I will plan the trips as per instructions and plan 2 months in advance

I noticed few issues on accor and requesting clarity:
1. Can rooms booked using discounted rate be paid using points . Attached screenshot shows the message of points applicability only for flexible rate.
2. If not online, can they ( discounted rate) be paid using points at the hotel
3. For same hotel i see different value of points
3500 for 4000 points and 7500 for 4000 points. Is the value of points decreases with room rate.
