I just renewed it and paid with atlas. Hopefully I will also get additional 10 percent accor points through axis

Renewed as well, for renewal offer need to pay 16.5k (you can claim GST back i.e. 2500~) and in exchange you get bumped to Gold, get 2000 ALL points (3500~rs.), unused stay night gets extended (mine did already) so you have access to 2 if last year's was unused and you get 5-6 extra vouchers for buffet on top of new/renewal voucher kit.
All in all a solid and tempting offer, last year I wasn't able to use my buffet voucher as just can't get myself to drive through delhi traffic to IGI just for buffet and lunch buffet has so small timing window, and cannot claim dinner on saturday and lunch/dinner on sunday.
Yet last year made use of Red Hot room deals and that was quite worth it for me, so renewed my membership as have another trip coming up and 2 free stays in a row would be much better than 1 😀
I plan to keep an eye on fast track (even china method) to try and get to platinum.
Personally after doing a lot of through research, I find accor way better and valuable than Mariott (even though accor presence in india is low, I personally like to travel outside India in Asia where it gives so much value). Mariott might be a better and more luxury brand but what's the use if cannot find any good redemptions (I can never justify wasting 30k MR points on one night stay), while accor even on cash rate have really decent price, you get back ALL points which are worth actual cash and also Axis Edge Miles again usable for future accor stay.
I will use my Axis Edge Miles for Accor/Jal and my Amex points for AsiaMiles/Avios/Virgin.

Accor is the best in my opinion, last am platinum that I achieved by staying 40 sights with accorplus, last year. Afterwards, I am getting room upgrades to suites at many hotels in Delhi and mumbai. Recently, at Novotel Jaipur as well.
So it is worth to get the fast track method to achieve platinum earlier

Hi thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts. could you please help me with some clarifications?
Can you share the link where to renew?
Can I pay through points for the 16.5k?
Do I need to do anything special for carrying the 1 status night forward or that happens by default?
What is the china method you have referred to above?

1. No link for renew as such, their team gets in touch with you over call/email when your membership is about to expire,usually happens before 1 month of expiration
2. No, that needs to be paid in cash
3. They will offer extending the stay plus night benefit from their end, nothing to do yourself. The benefits of renewal are extension of unused night, extra vouchers, gold status and 2000 ALL points
4. That method has expired now but earlier just like Accor Plus, you could buy the relevant accor subscription for china (forgot its name, but there is a china specific subscription as Accor Plus is not usable for china). That subscription gave you a further 20 or 30 status nights on top of your All Plus.
If I remember correct, it was costing like 20-25k in total and you would direct reach platinum from silver.
PS: The Accor China thing gives you 2 stay nights and lots of other beneficial vouchers too, so it justifies the price you pay (20-25k) if you plan to stay/holiday in Greater China region (so not just china but HK and Taiwan too)
You can check my post history as I remember posting about it in more details, I found about it from this blog so you can follow/subscribe to their newsletter as they cover about Accor (and china/fast track) quite well, thats how I stay upto date as well
a. Is the offer still exists for new membership, how to apply?
b. accor membership renews from Apr-Mar cycle or Jan-Dec?

This. Why are people talking about irrelevant topics under this thread like what retention bonus they got from Accor plus team and all? Please stay on topic as per the thread title folks. Anyone managed to book using the corporate booking codes?

1. That offer is only for renewals, not new membership
2. The membership renews from your date of purchase, there is no specific cycle like that. But status points/status itself resets at end of year December, so I think the earlier you get it the better
Anyone booked using the above codes. It shows error for me
