Only Premium & Super Premium Cards Discussion

[drsel]

I have recently bought Accor Plus. On average member rate is 10-20% less than average price. So, to breakeven if you stay in budget hotels like Ibis you can save approx 2k on 10k spend (for around 3 nights). So, if you travel at least 10 nights a year then its totally worth it.
E.g. I recently booked 4 nights in Ibis Jaipur 2 people incl. breakfast & tax for 15200Rs
Member (5% Disc) rate for same day is 18800Rs.
Public (No Disc) rate for same day is 19800Rs.

I am planning to book the inexpensive Ibis hotels in Australia, Japan.
We can't use all these free vouchers outside India.

So you recommend that we pay 12000 points or 14300 cash for Explorer?

Why including breakfast? As an Accor Plus member, you're entitled to get 50% off on breakfast for 2 persons.

Sometimes the difference between breakfast and non breakfast option will be very less. Like under 200-300 Rs. at that time it's better to book the breakfast option.
Otherwise you are right, taking 50% off option works out better.

This is for all properties? And If I am making booking for 2 rooms, then discount for 4 persons? And this is only for breakfast or also on dinner?

[drsel]

Kindly compare Accor plus vs Ibis plus membership

 

[harshit_agrawal]

Can anyone tell some way to purchase Accor Ibis membership for lower cost than EUR 99 or some way to buy via accor points.
Mainly need 10 more status nights.

[hungryPanda]

if you are already silver doesn't make sense else its good.

At international locations , welcome drink is good.

You get 50% during dine in for 2 people.

Can avail late checkout

Not sure which tier everyone out there is buying. Also what period.

View attachment 23124


Yearly sub gets the best value on the "Absolutely". With the offer, the subscription costs 1,00,949.05 INR (ignoring forex markup)

5k per month = 60k
5k bonus every 4 months = 20k
12k status points = Gold member (2k short for Platinum)

80k = 1,47,484.79

Around 46% profit on investement. So not a bad buy at all if you are so frequently travelling.

Only catch is you don't get these points all at time, it will be credited monthly according to the details.

Their 10% bonus transfer might not apply to Indian Banks as this is an offer running in Brazil. I don't see Axis listed anywhere.

What does "Points that do not expire" mean?
Does buying any membership extend the current validity of existing accor points?

1. What is the welcome drink for Ibis hotels in Australia USA and Europe?
2. Is this 4500 fee payable every year or one time only?

The room deal including breakfast was just 400 rupees for unlimited buffet breakfast whereas the 50% discounted price was more than Rs.400

can be good for places like singapore or swiss where even 1 night room is very expensive

Norway is the most expensive country in the world but getting only one night free stay there does not make sense.
you need to stay at least three or four nights and you have to pay a very high rate for the remaining nights

 

[drsel]

Another problem is that the hotels in the best location in the city you want and on the dates you want will not be available
