If any one is planning to purchase accorplus membership and want referral, please ping me.

Are there any special benefits for the referee?

So, I wanted to know that right now I have Accor Classic. I have got points and I am planning to turn in my membership to Accor Plus, tomorrow. Now, I know once I make it accor plus I will have a new accord membership number. Will I be able to add that new Accor membership number to my ER and add points there? Or, should I transfer to the old membership number and the points will show in both old and new accor membership number?

I have been able to transfer seamlessly to the old membership number. The points show up in my Accor account with the new membership no.
My transfer to new no failed.

Has anyone redeemed Accor points for Spa? If yes, what's the conversion?
Is it 2000 pts = 40 EUR or 20 EUR?

I took the Accor plus membership to get a better discount for my hotel bookings for Europe. I looked up 200 different hotels in different cities and countries in Europe, but the member rate is SAME for CLASSIC & SILVER!

No special Accor Plus rate was displayed for any of the hotels.

Paying by points was not a problem through the App though, it appears that paying via points through the app is a problem for Indian hotels mostly.

Price doesn't change between status even if you have platinum.

There is two pricing. Member rate and Accor plus membership rate.
This is only applicable for participating hotels. Most hotels in Europe are not a part of this.
You can get Accor plus member rate in most of Asia Pacific, Australia, New Zealand etc

Same here. I upgraded to Explorer on 29th August. Still haven't received the 20 nights. 🙁

 

[ishanmontella]

So you booked for 18 nights (say 100 EUR per night) 1800 total.

If you had purchased Accor Traveller membership for 4000 pts and then booked,
Assuming additional 10% off on this would be 180 EUR saved.
4000 pts = 80 EUR
net 100 EUR = 5000 pts saved. (approx) + All the benefits of silver tier membership and a bunch of vouchers.

Why didn't you do that?

I purchased the Accor Plus because of this reply of your’s 😂

status nights take 1 month to credit, read somewhere

1 month is official timeline. But mine is even past 1 month😅. Have emailed them.

That's what the Customer care guys told me while selling it. I realised this after purchasing it myself too.
As per their TnC except for Ibis budget and some lower tier hotels and the very high tier like Raffles etc. The rest of the mid-range hotels participate across the world.

But looks like they don't.
Accor being a company based in France doesn't have Hotels participating from there on Accor Plus. weird.

After purchasing it, I am not even able to book with points for many Indian properties now. 😅

The Customer care guys told me it's an automatic process and you have to wait. They don't have any option to manually do it. Even mine is more than 20 days now.

For discounts better take Accor IBIS Card or Voyageur Card which give 20% discount on booking plus 20 status nights

I was saying out loud avoid this membership. If companies are paying commission to people to induce FOMO = Bad for customers and good for Accor

But I think it is not available for Accor Plus members.
