Why ibis? Why not other better hotels?
One hack which I found was that you can pay with points now and you can also pay with points at the hotel. But if you pay with points at the hotel, you get status points for the same too. Whereas if you pay with points at the time of booking itself, you don't get status points for that much amount. You should of course ask the hotel in advance whether they accept pay with points on the spot over there.
Because we are out 16 hours sightseeing and spend only 8 hours to sleep at the hotel
so we are not fussy about the hotel
We are exactly the same. But one thing to be noted about Ibis, the rooms are really small. I mean, some rooms are such that if you open two bags, you won't have any standing space,or worse, no space to open two bags at the same time. Try to avoid the Ibis Budget hotels. Ibis Styles are okay, but do check the room size. The normal Ibis with the red logo are usually decent, but check the room size there too.
Thanks.
So should we always book at Pay at the hotel rate and then when we reach reception tell them we will pay with points including taxes and including food drinks and transfer charges, if any?
Again, I'm not sure how much of those status points will be helpful for me in the future. It is usually for tier upgrades. Also, it depends on whether you're going for a refundable or non-refundable fare. For non-refundable reservations, anyway there is no option but to pay using points+cash at booking time itself. If you're doing a refundable booking, you can call up the property in advance and ask them whether they allow you to pay with points at their reception at the time of check in. This could depend from property to property.
Just to update, points started reflecting in Accor in 2 days post getting message from Axis. Now off to a big redemption coming up in Feb. Will be transferring Infinia points also to Accor for one last time before the ratio changes
Both my Accor and Aeroplan transfers got resolved early yesterday.

Similar thing happened with HDFC transfer, had transferred 35k points on 31st Dec from smartbuy portal, got confirmation from HDFC on 1st Jan. Points are still not showing up in Accor though

In my case points were actually credited the next day itself, but it was some issue with Accor. When I mailed them, they told me that points have been credited. Still those were not reflecting in my app or web account. I then transferred some more points and then all points started showing up for me too. So you may first check with accor by mailing them, if the say points are credited, do a token transfer and your entire points would start reflecting

Worked like a charm, thanks a ton! All points instantly credited, guess they just needed a push

1 year. You can extend the validity just by transferring more points or staying at accor property.
Just to confirm:
Suppose i have 1000 points and it's going to expire on 01.01.25, then if i add 500 points more before Expiry (25.12.24) then in total all my points i.e. 1500 points will be valid for next 1 year (01.01.26) and same can be continues?

Yes. Whenever there is activity in your account your point validity will extend by 1 year for all points.
Thank you for the info
