AFAIK you'll have to be a part of the booking in order to use points for that booking. If you're not travelling then it will be difficult

what is the redemption process? points will be deducted through otp right?
what if i already paid via points before arriving there?

It will be considered as prepaid.

When you book through Accor, the default booking happens in your name. You cannot change that. You can add more rooms or guests to your room, the details of which can be provided at the time of check-in.

When your brother does the check-in, they will ask for IDs for all guests. If they match the photo on your ID with your brother's face, they can refuse to check-in since the booking is in your name and you've to be there. So this could work only in scenarios where they forget to check, or you are identical twins.

One more suggestion - your brother can give both IDs and say that you will arrive later as your train/ flight is delayed and then don't check-in at all.

Yup, its always advisable to call the reservation desk and let them know that your family would be staying and they'll guide us with the process. My family stayed without me a couple of times at Accor properties seamlessly

Kindly share the process with the TF comm.


Many people want to know it and would benefit everyone, I do see that you are still active on the fourm, just not on this thread 😅

Hey guys,

Extremely sorry, have overlooked this thread.
So, I have stayed in properties like Pullman Delhi, Novotel Aerocity Delhi, Novotel Bengaluru and Grand Mercure Mysuru.
I have called the reservation desk and asked them to make a booking and I have let them know that my family will be staying to which they agreed. While check out, they will ask your Accor Id which generates an OTP. On validation, the points will be burnt for the stay.
Note: In Novotel and Pullman properties, you can only burn in multiples of 2000 points while you can burn in multiples of 1000 points in ibis properties.

I recently stayed in Novotel blr and was able to burn 3000 points for ~5400.

Woah really? Interesting

Update:
My parents have recently stayed with Novotel Jaipur, Grand Mercure Agra and Grand Mercure Mysore. I was able to burn points in multiples of 1000.
Earlier, Novotel only used to accept in chunks of 2000 points but looks like this is changed.

Hi, I am trying to book Novotel Hyderabad from Accor login. Can I book online and pay using the points? When I go the payment page, it doesn't show any option to pay using points. Please help.
