    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Just wondering, other than the Novotel Amex offer that might've sweetened the deal, did you consider the Pullman. Random dates I look at the Pullman is the same price as the Novotel. I've stayed at the Novotel before as a Plat, the free parking was useful but have been stung by coughpy room...

    Rockfords discussion

    I'm not on the many other mailing lists you have worked your way onto, but don't complain about it on an internet forum :p There's plenty of places to buy Rockford from at a slight markup if you don't want to play their mailing list game, just like there's places I could buy some of the stuff...

    Accessing status benefits via FQTS while avoiding earning any points

    Would it not have been possible to add your number to the booking to select seats, and then when entering the lounge, just ask them to remove the number? I'm not sure why an employer would buy points-earning flights and not allow staff to earn points, just from the simple reason that they'd...

    WhatsApp spam from Novotel Melbourne Airport

    I had WhatsApp messages from Sofitel Darling Harbour last week, assumed it wasn't new. Used it to ask for a sewing kit to be delivered to my room while I was out :p

    How does "Family Offer" work?

    If I do that it totals $7k. It asks me to select room 1, and gives me price options. Then asks me to select room 2 with the same price options.

    How does "Family Offer" work?

    I assumed I needed to select the number of adults and/or children that’ll be there? I have tried changing it to a booking if 2 adults and 1 child per room, and received the same result. It asks me to select the rate for the first ‘room’ and then for the second. Is anyone able to replicate this...

    How does "Family Offer" work?

    No, there are 2 rooms, they're both penthouse suites that have 4 bedrooms in them for a total 8 people max occupancy. Here is the same booking, but if I chose the flexible rate instead of the family offer (50% discount off the second room). I guess, the price I'm expecting to see is around about...

    How does "Family Offer" work?

    Cellartracker seems to suggest 2024-2030. Gary Walsh says 2024-2028+. Take your pick :p

    Accor Family Second Room 50% doesn't add up ?

    Sorry to hijack this thread but seemed related. I have a booking for later this year at a Novotel in what would essentially be a suite for a gathering of sorts. There are two similar suites at this property and if numbers swell, I might need the second one too. So long as kids were indicated as...

    Frequent flyers whose kids have hit gold status

    I was Thai Gold (then top-level) as a teenager and quite often staff wouldn't expect it, to much great effect for me usually when I whipped it out to assert my right to be in a priority line or some such.

    Help finding points costs for rooms

    @sudoer have you seen a Qantas page where you can convert Qantas points to Accor ALL points, and not just the other way around... regardless of value I didn't think it was possible, unless I have completely misinterpreted the OP?

    Help finding points costs for rooms

    May I ask, from where do you see this option? I thought it was only possible in the other direction.

    Novotel BKK leaving Accor Jan 31st

    To be fair, part of a great experience can be attributed to the service given because of status. If a venue changes brands, it might not be possible to get the same experience without a status match or higher spend ;)
