New to Accor

[Siva05]

Hi guys,

I was new to Axis Atlas. So does to Accor as well.

I have covered 3000 edge rewards to 6000 ALL points. (Worth 10,800Rs)

I'm looking to book a stay for around 15,000

1. What are the hacks or tricks we can do to reduce the price, Do we have any negotiation options?
2. For the remaining amount if I use Atlas will I get 10% miles back?
3. On Accor mobile I can see 20% points back offer, will it be for Whole 15,000 or only for care payment amount
4. Should I consider purchasing any membership to maximise the benifits, i spend around 1-3 nights per annum
5. Apart from stays any where else can I use the Accor points? I don't see any restraunt options in search

I'll answer what I know.
1. There isn't much of a hack here you will have to book through accor to avail points. They sometimes run offers for reduced price on their app/website or free nights and you can avail them and pay using points.
2. Yes, last year I paid with atlas and got the bonus points (it was recognised as hotel spend)
3. No idea maybe check the t&c
4. Really depends on if you feel you can extract value from it. Just don't buy at full price they keep running promos every now and then with various card on reduced pricing
5. Not sure if I understand, you use points to pay for accor property related expenses only.

I would say it depends on how much do you spend on Hotels, if you would like to take all your meals within hotel and also you generally like staying in top hotels like Fairmont, Novotels etc then a membership will definitely help. As you will get a free stay, your meals will be covered using vouchers. Also, I would suggest paying as much as you can from points itself and not cash

1. None

2. Yes, 5% miles equal to 10% return.

3. 20% points back is only if you make 100% real money payment, which would be a foolish thing to do.
if you pay with points, you will get ZERO points back for the small leftover amount you need to pay with real money.

4. Yes, if you get Explorer for 7500 points.

5. The restaurant bills of the same hotel can be billed to your room, and paid fully with points at the time of check out.

Correct, but check the exchange rate, whether or not it includes the 4.13% markup

It’s not 20% points back . That would have been a great deal if it was !

It’s 20% more earnings. Usually u earn around 5-10% depending on your tier , so you would earn 6-12% , that’s it !!
