AccorPoints limitations on hotel booking - LIMIT

[paluvadisurya]

I recently transferred ~9.5K points in Accor Plus. When I try to make a reservation, I couldn’t use all of my points to make a Booking.

Drawbacks at the moment:
1. Cannot utilise points for Member Rate
2. Points booking is 20%higher than Member Rate
3. Limit of 2K/4K points to make a hotel booking

This is a serious bummer, I wouldn’t have transferred points to this membership.

Please let me know If I am doing something wrong.

Non refundable bookings cannot be booked using points.

I booked a non refundable booking at bangkok with points

Pay at checkout or pay via points during the booking itself?

Visa app or you can also call customer care even If its not work as customer care and if they say you can pay at hotel record that part

I recently booked non-refundable + Pay at the hotel option via their app. I was able to cut off the most of the taxes and I'll pay remaining amount at the hotel.

There is some 10% off offer with their app.

Shows 20% for me. Are you an Accor Plus member?

No. Just normal member. It is indeed 20% for Plus Member

So basically, Pay at hotel is the must criteria for Hotel booking using points? Refundable and Non-refundable does not create a difference?

If you would like to pay the taxes by points, then Pay at hotel option is needed at most of the times.

If you will book non-refundable on website, I think Pay at the hotel option won't be available. It will be opened with refundable but you will have to pay more points.

So current workaround is that, you book via app as there is some discount. You won't be able to add breakfast but you can add it at the hotel and pay same at the hotel

@paluvadisurya There are some easy solutions to them:

1. You can easily utilize point in members' rate. Just make sure pay at hotel option is available, so you just book and pay at the hotel with the points gathered on your account.
2. Accor Always go with 40 EUP = 2,000 pts redemption, thus it's better to calculate it in Euro, change the currency. You can't do anything about it. So there are two kinds of redemption they do. The first I already mentioned, the second is that some hotels do also redeem pts at 20 EUR = 1,000 pts redemption. It's always wiser to pay at the hotel as you can club all the bills and pay together with the redemption.

No worries, a detailed article is coming soon to TechnoFino, almost done with it, hope that'll further clarify it. 😉

I made a non refundable booking through the app by paying 1 usd. Can I pay at the hotel using points when checking out? How do I know if the hotel accepts points or not?

I am unable to pay using points via app. It allows only partiaL.
For instance, novotel mumbai - rate is 11770 but app shows pay using points upto 7171(4000 points max)
and same for other hotels too.

Accor doesnt allow full settlement of bills via points upfront via app??

Should i make the booking,, give card details and pay at hotel? What if they charge the card a day/two prior to my visit
