If you transfer 26,000+ point to Accor(via Axis/HDFC) will you be directly upgraded to Diamond Status?

What about this?

no , those tier point are status point (which u only earn by staying/spending) .
While what we transfer from axis/HDFC is accor reward points , which never change your status , even if you transfer 1 lack 🙂

In ALL app pay with points option will show at time of payment. Basic room rent should be above 40 euro without any app offer.

See one of the Accor guy reply where I used to stay 4 times min in an year it’s ibis/Novotel I used to be
There is some conditions for India like 1000 points min

Not able to book via points.

I am able to pay via points for most of the places in India. Mostly on the flexible rate and not Saver rate.

See below for Ibis Calangute.

Value steeped to 1.8rs per point it’s the high value I am seeing on any hotel loyalty
But the logic of asking payment of 2246/- is a bit new in Accor only
Why not they take it from points?

Yeah, they don't allow partial points redemption, only multiples of 2000. They should have made it atleast in multiple of 1000! Not sure if it's allowed on redemption at the hotel directly!

I saw that most of its properties start from 3k, so we can still pay most of the amount using points by selecting flexible rate or higher priced room.

It is still the best value option for using axis ER points though!

At hotel minimum 1000 points to be paid I got it confirmed by one of the ibis hotel where I stay frequently
But need to book on app and stay exclusively next time by using Axis bank Edge Rewards mostly in June month
May month trips i moved points to ITC already and booked

So you need to book in multiples of 1000 or can pay full amount using points?

Book by app and pay at checkout in hotel min 1000 points

After purchasing the membership do we need to wait for 2-3 weeks even for dining vouchers or is it just for the accomodation ones?

 

[sarsjits]

Yes, because if you will try will old number then it will fail in few minutes and u will get your edge points refunded.
So link new number and make transfer.

So will we be able to have two member ids at the same time attached in travel edge portal? Is there way to delink old id online or do we need to ask them over call/email?

 

[Akshay9512]

Please share contact number for accor plus membership. I am unable to contact them

 

[R!ppEr]

Probably the best membership details thread on the forum!

 

[Paras]

I have 15k points but unable to book as points optoon not showing for Ibis goa

Thats fine, you can email their reservations and tell that you want to book and would be selling via points, they will give you a confirmation.thats all you need.
I also book without point but during checking tell them that you would use points and during checkout tell them to generate otp/voucher code to consume via points instead of cc.

Yes, as they will print voucher and send to you. It may take 1 week to 3 week officially. But in my case ,i got it in 7 days

You can keep N number of id for same partner and also on travel edge there is option to delete old member id

Since this thread has lot more details on Accor I would want to highlight that even though we pay with accor points to book hotels, Tax is extra and has to be paid in Cash only. More details here.

Not completely true.

1. If you pay by point during reservation on Accor, then this limitation is there.
2. If you make reservation by calling theirs reservation number,then this limitation is not there.
3. I also tried third way just 4 days back. Made reservation without point using CC guarantee but during checkout paid entire bill including tax , using points only ,in one of the property in India
