I've read the website and nothing in there says that they will hand out 10 nights in October to existing members. All it says is that members will be upgraded to Gold. Unclear if they will hand out 10 nights to everyone or only to Silver members.

It's worth even if only to be able to tell the grandkids that you once queued for 12 hours in the rain for a free flight.

I wonder why they did this. 8,000 points is an insignificant amount. I can't see anyone disengaging from QFF because of this so I guess they had nothing to lose.

Sounds like the best bet is to wait at the baggage carousel to see if your bag comes out.

I expect it will work like any other domestic-international or v.v. Jetstar connection. You collect your bags and check in for the next flight as normal. You better hurry, if JQ62 isn't cancelled, check-in closes 1hr before departure.

For me, some chance is better than no chance. I would renew now.

There's plenty of classic award seats to Bendigo and Broken Hill. I haven't been but I hear they're nice places. :)

If you activate it now your account will say you are platinum until Aug 2026. Whether Accor will retract that on 1 Jan 2026 remains to be seen. The FAQs do not directly address this issue although it indirectly suggests that they will retract it. It may or may not be worth the gamble.

This contradicts a couple of existing rules which makes me think that Accor Plus help desk staff aren't sure themselves of what is going to happen.

I considered cancelling and resubscribing until I realised I have a booking in mid September on a members rate booked during the recent sale. I can't run the risk of them repricing my booking to today's non-member rates.

Easier to keep track of the balance yourself (I write it on the card itself with a Sharpie) or use the entire balance at once.

👍

Anything is possible if you have the cash to spend. Budget $10-15 per status credit.

Is everyone getting 30 nights on 1 October? Regardless of whether they have already received the 30 night bonus earlier this year? Let me read the FAQ again.

They should have launched the new program on 1 Jan to avoid this issue of people being caught out by unexpected status downgrades. This year was my "use points to pay" year as I thought my status was secure until next year.

When I renewed a couple of months ago, my platinum status was extended to June 2026, and is showing in my account as such. There is no way I will qualify for platinum this year. Does this mean they will reverse my platinum status to June 2026 and downgrade me to gold on 1 Jan 2026?

I don't understand how this will work in practice. Terms says you will never be downgraded to Silver so status is still somehow linked to your membership expiry date.

Won't be able to use the free night anymore on expensive hotels that I otherwise couldn't afford to stay at.

Looks like an announcement will be made today regarding changes to the program. From what I can gather the dining discount will become a flat 30% and the free night will be subject to a 2 night stay. Comes into effect October 1.

I also saw this the other day when I made a booking. Maybe if you have a large points balance and have a large booking it proposes 3000 to speed things up a bit? Otherwise 2000 is still an option as at today.
