Do you have Accor Plus?

no

 

[Ksunnylove]

How did you know your account was suspended? Unable to login?

was unable to book by points in app or web

Not able to transfer ER points to accor from past 20 days. The Axis team is rejecting it after 7 days . IS it happening to anyone else??.. I am using the Old Accor id to transfer.

 

[MilesMax]

no

The issue of not able to redeem points on Indian properties is only for Accor Plus membership users. Without it, no issues. It works fine.

It's not all properties and not all rates.

I can see the option on some non refundable fares with accor plus fare and some which don't have accor plus fare, just the usual member's rate.

But yeah, it still doesn't seem right and must be a bug. Did you try getting booked over call and paying using points there?

Has accor changed the 10% discount for members in app booking to 5 % ?

Can you tell me the property name and date for which you see the points booking option available? I'll check if it's working for me as well.

I tried booking over call, they told me it's not possible from their side too. They asked to settle via points during checkout. I wrote a long email with all the screenshots to Accor, I got a callback, They understood the issue but even they said you can settle with points at checkout instead and it's up to the hotel to provide pay with points while booking, but at checkout, they should accept the points. Doesn't look like this will be fixed.

Can we swap vouchers? I have some Buffet vouchers for Kolkata. I would be happy to swap them for Delhi NCR

when i tried redeeming my voucher, they asked for Accor ID to take a photo, so probably this won't work

Yes, I don't think u can share it easily. Maybe with family members, if u can share login credentials.

For me, I was showing voucher screenshot. Then he asked me to login and show from there. So, I needed to login and then showed him

Isn't 10% discount in app for silver members? Is it devalued already?

Got it. What a shame.

Can anyone with Accor Traveller membership confirm if there are any discounts for these 2 hotels for the following dates if I buy Accor Traveller membership:

For 2 Adults:
1. Grand Mercure Bangkok Atrium - 10th Feb to 14th Feb 2024 - Superior Room with 2 Twin Beds with breakfast - 25,580/- incl taxes
2. Homm Bliss Southbeach Patong - 14th Feb to 17th Feb 2024 - One Bedroom Superio Sea View, Twin with breakfast - 25,532/- incl taxes

I am getting 5% off as I am currently having base accor membership. If there are any good offers in hotels during this period, mostly in these 2 hotels, then I may purchase Accor Plus Traveller membership by 31st Aug for 4000 ALL points. Please help to confirm someone if I would be able to get some benefits for this upcoming trip!

How long did it take for the points to reflect in the accor account after initiating a transfer from TravelEdge ?

2 to 3 days

I am planning to go for international trip next year, should I buy plus @ 4000 points ? I heard somewhere that 20 nights will be expired in December so will it still be beneficial ?

Grand Mercure Bangkok Atrium will cost 23825
Homm Bloss South beach Patong is showing same rate. Don't know why

Pl suggest if going ahead with a Accor Plus Explorer makes any sense at all at 13.5k. There is an offer of getting 4000 CV points through Vistara linkage but that is of not much use to me but an added advantage nevertheless.

Secondly, Is it easy to book the free night and is it actually valid on hotels like Fairmont Jaipur or Pullman Delhi since this is an additional cost of around 6k over the Traveler membership considering 4000 Accor pts is valued around Rs 7200. Also purchasing directly before 31st can help completing Magnus August milestone + few RP’s as well.

Don't! I am not able to book Sofitel anymore with points. But fortunately they accept points at checkout.
I booked IBIS Nashik with points before buying membership. As soon as I purchased Accor Plus that option is not available anymore. Glad I booked before buying membership.

I called Accor plus customer care, they said call restaurant and confirm for using points on checkout.
The regular Accor customer care said they cannot book with points from their side. Now my points are kind of stuck and can only be used for international destinations.

Though this is a real bummer. Would request some other Accor Plus members to chime in.
