Saw on Twitter that accor has been removed from Axis.
Hope it's temporary

Edit - Travel portal shows that it's temporary for Accor& Vistara

Yesterday only I have initiated a TEST transfer to Accor. Now both Accor and CV are gone.

My assumption is that Accor and Vistara will be back but with a reduced transfer value like 5:3 or 5 :2. Let's see..

IMO It doesn't make sense to just reduce vistara and Accor, people are using ITC, Marriot and others aggressively, too. It might be because of bulk credit of accelerated points yesterday. There is no loophole being exploited here, everyone's spending the points genuinely afaik. But I might be wrong.😅

Vistara and accor removed?

I called customer care. They said, "It's a problem from the merchant side, it'll be up again soon."

Go

Even gofirst is temporary according to them

Go First was partner of Axis earlier? Is it?

 

[Akshay9512]

As per my intuition there will be limit on points transfer to Club Vistara and Accor on monthly basis or yearly basis.

I have axis edge reward points of 2L+. I plan to use it for next 2 or 3 years. However Accor points expire in a year. Can we stay in ibis for a day to renew it for another year? I was transferring slowly and now realise the mistake. I must have transferred everything with the wake up call on temporary hold.

I think you can just transfer minimum points again before expiry. The existing points expiry will also change. Thats what I have read somewhere

Had read this

We need to be realistic here. People like us get 40 to 80% of our credit card spends as Accor hotel money. This is substantial amount. Before Magnus I would never visit Raffles and pay in lakhs. In fact I have started using Ibis for office visits instead of company guest house. The insane amount of cash given by Axis cannot be sustained.

All this lasted for less than a year for me. I hope it is back.

Technically it lasted for 2 months, Axis added Accor 2 months back

Before Accor, ITC looked lucrative and we were getting 80 paisa rate for a point. But with Accor, it became ₹1.4. Since we have a 120 day delay to get points in Axis, people who joined axis wagon in last 6 months would have benefitted the most from Accor if they had not moved it to ITC.
