    eSims, what is your experience.

    It happened to me TWICE in a span of 2 month (early April in Japan and this redemption for a visit to NZ). The account was being blocked for “security/KYC” concern, just when I tried to activate the redeemed plan already “successfully” shown up on my account, as per support chat. My account was...

    AccorPlus China

    Just to share my experience on Accor China booking of hotels in HK - even the booking would have appeared on your “main” ALL account. Invariably the hotel front desk will require you to show them the voucher. In my case, I had to log on to my WeChat account on the spot (not always a smooth...

    Add a stopover in Hong Kong and save 10% on CX fares to Europe, North America and more

    I did a few test bookings for flights to HND via HKG (a similar deal but for North Asia destinations), discount applied just fine but the fare classes were NOT eligible for Qantas points! Learnt this the hard way when the claims for flights in April were rejected

    AccorPlus China

    It’s me again 😜 I subscribed to Accor China last April so am happy to share my experience (though neither prescriptive or definitive). I am a bit lucky in a sense I then already had a (dormant) WeChat account, the app installed, and am able to read Chinese. I mentioned this, as despite the...

    Accor Plus / Platinum, seeking advice

    No additional payment. As a matter of fact, no financial transaction with the booking agent but I did have to provide credit card details via a secured link to secure the booking (a regular practice?!). I made an enquiry in early January for my holiday planning for 2H2025 and received prompt...

    Accor Restaurant Recommendations in Sydney CBD

    I have been to Ternery for a few times, all for dinner. Just note that you would have to walk past the bar area to access the dining area (for dinner). Not sure of the restaurant area is open for lunch though

    Amex Platinum Travel Credit

    I know the query is addressed to @sudoer but I just jumped in to save his time. Hope @sudoer wouldn't mind. THC stands for The Hotel Collection, which is an exclusive hotel booking option on selected hotels for Platinum Charge/Centurion and Reserve Credit Cards members (not sure if this has...

    Accor Plus / Platinum, seeking advice

    STEP booking is similar to FHR booking under Amex Platinum/Centurion Charge travel benefits but you can booked through any STEP accredited travel agent. I searched the internet for such an agent last year and eventually picked one located in Canada (because of the quality travelmadvices shares...

    Accor Plus Membership Discussion

    I never know how exactly (or whether) it works but one Accor+ feature included in the membership is 3x Member for A Day certificate per year. I have a vague recollection that the holder of the certificates is eligible for the membership benefits (notably and hopefully not limited to dining...

    AccorPlus China

    Enrolled to the program since last May. My experience is for hotels in Greater China only. No problem with Hong Kong BUT search under X (Xiangong?) instead of H. Easier if you know Chinese inputting. Haven’t had luck with Macau though

    Best use of Suite Night Upgrades?

    I concur. Stayed at both properties in September just to “experience”. Pullman was nice but don’t think it worths 3x the cost. Mercure Haneda was superb both absolutely and relatively (in terms of pricing), though I noticed that the rate has gone up 10-20% recently. Still good value, just no...

    Best use of Suite Night Upgrades?

    Sorry, I should have added that I paid at the hotel with points, not online

    Best use of Suite Night Upgrades?

    I have a nicer experience so perhaps it depends on the property. In early November, I was able to pay with points on 2 nights using my SNU coupons at The Park Lane Hong Kong. So I guess no harm to call the property and check.

    New Amex statement credits

    I made a booking at Mr. Wong (Sydney CBD) and had to made a non-refundable deposit payment of $100pp to secure the booking online . The transaction appeared as a Merivale charge and I received the statement credit (even before the dining experience scheduled mid Dec!)
