Is there a way to see the price in Points for Accor? Like we do in ITC and Marriot? I am not able to find a way even after creating an account.

In Accor, the max discount we get is 40 euros per booking right? Or am I missing something?

No i think that u can use points to pay multiple of 40 euro which is 2000 points

You are right. Bills can be settled for 2000 points for each 40 euro

Is it only for the Base price or can points be used for the final price too? (Including taxes)

Normally there should not be taxes if paid by points.

It sometime depends on the program. When you are redeeming Vistara beneficial coupons for milestone tickets, taxes has to be paid. Whereas when you transfer points to Marriott Bonvoy for example taxes are not extra for points. Might be same for other transfer partners also. Others needed to be discussed.

What if a hotel costs 60 euros? Can we use 3000 points or do we have to use 2000 points and pay remaining 20 euros by cash/card?

multiples of 2000.

some properties may allow you to use 1000s, but only at the time of checkout.

online is 2000s. at hotel, may be 1000s. not all properties will allow that. discretionary.

Whatever rate u see as member rate thats final
Points play role when u pay at checkout
They should accept at 1:1

okay, just to re-confirm. if I am seeing an availability in some accor hotel, I can just transfer the points and book without hassle, right? unlike MB where sometimes we can't book a room with points or some rooms are only booked via paying money not points

Marriott Bonvoy if u have sufficient points then full booking can be done by points so far no hassle faced
Accor you’re just booking by app and need to pay at property by point
Trust it’s clear now

The accor points are kind of Cash equivalent at the time of bill settlement.

MB points can only be used for redemption rooms and need to be booked before check in. MB can't be used to settle bills.

Interesting concept. The room has to be booked directly from Accor or its official hotel chain sites to avail the points offer right?
Or booking from 3rd party sites like booking.com would also work since the bill is settled after the stay?

Points can be adjusted while booking online.

I am not sure but I think pay with points should not work on bookings done by OTAs. Atleast in IHG, they refused to even enter my membership number for the stay, since booking was done through third party.

OTA definitely is not accepted in most if not all hotel chains.
Just book it through the official channel (online or the hotel directly) to get the benefit of using of loyalty points.

When tried to book Hotel on Marriott Bonvoy the room rent compared to Points with INR it's thrice the worth of INR, which in realty translates to waste of money and points earned by spending. Did anyone face the same issue with Marriott Bonvoy.

MB points are generally bad value. Practical redemption in best case can be 50p.
