Accor Plus Membership Purchase : The Do's and Don'ts for Maximizing Your Benefits. | Hand on purchase experience

What's the best way of putting Free lunch buffet for 2 to use in Blr or Mumbai. In BLR they most have IBIS & Novotel which are not known for being good dining places.

I have used these vouchers in multiple IBIS restaurants, I feel IBIS ORR is the better one in the IBIS BLR lot.
Hosur Road has a limited set menu, they will prepare and serve as per your order.
Novotel is also decent but not exceptional when compared with ITC and other buffet options we have in the BLR.

Planning to redeem the Mercure Kormangala dining voucher in the first week of March, any comments on the food?

Accor Plus is on sale now available at around 12k, how do I purchase this to get 4k CV points?

 

[SuperKnight]

You can't, you will have to pay more than 15k to get 4k CV points. I checked with customer care and bought today

Which are the best properties in India to use the free stay. Please share your opinions, thanks in advance

You may find the vouchers when you go to -->
Login into https://www.accorplus.com/in --> "PROFILE" --> "VOUCHERS".

I could see 53 vouchers in my AccorPlus membership.

Are we really getting so many vouchers or this is some error. I see at least 4-5 complementary buffet vouchers on my accor account

Hi, I don't think there are any errors! Many of my friends and family members have purchased the membership, and they all have the same set of vouchers. Additionally, they are clearly visible on the Accor website. https://www.accorplus.com/in/vouchers/

However, there is a significant difference in the number of vouchers between regions. This means that the southwest region has the highest number of buffet vouchers compared to other regions. That may be a reason why you have fewer vouchers!

Can someone ELI5 the benefit of a secondary membership ? Buying explorer mainly for myself and my wife, what use would secondary membership curtail ? Perhaps a friend-couple ?
-----
Also an FYI for anyone else interested, right now Explorer is selling for 11.9k INR (regular rate I always see 12.5k, 13.5k and even 14.5k)

I'm considering buying the Voyageur membership, and have a query. As ALL member we get 10% discount on rates of hotels in Europe. Will the Voyageur membership provide 20% discount over and above the ALL rate? Posted this query on one more forum in the hope of a quick reply!

Nope, discounts donot club.
When booking in app, you will see different rates like ALL member rate 10%, Voyager rate 20%, explorer/ALL Plus rate 20/25% (from a recent promo that was going on), etc.
But definitely donot club

Fairmont Jaipur (but availability is an issue) or Novotel Goa Dona Sylvia. If you are from Mumbai or close then Sofitel BKC is pretty amazing too.

Not really considering the discount is most of the time quite good and many times any ongoing promo does apply to the red hot room rate (so even added bonus discount).
Considering you get rewards on paying via card, ALL points for hotel booking and Avios by linking ALL and Avios accs, its a very good value proposition.

Just a few weeks back, there was a promo going on for Sofitel stays where if you are on silver, staying a couple of days or week in Sofitel hotel would get you to Gold, and there was/is a Sofitel hotel in red hot rooms (malaysia).
I remember you would have to pay like 35k INR for a week or so stay in Sofitel KL (MY) and you would get ALL gold, which was neat.
