Accor ALL Signature Discussion

I decided not to use the instalment option btw and paid the full annual subscription - mainly because I’ve read reports of card payments failing so decided to play it safe. Subscribed successfully with B’west Mastercard.

But would still be good to know if people were able to use the instalments.
I have been paying the monthly installment on a NZ Kiwibank Platinum card no problems for 18 months at least. I recently changed it to a NZ Amex Platinum airpoints card 2 months ago , also no problems. I like monthly payments as its only $170-190NZD a month which I do not even notice. I am also grandfathered on the old annual price before it went up. I cannot be bothered trying each year to get the best annual deal
 
Where are you getting the idea from that you can pay an annual plan in instalments? There is certainly no option to do so during the sign up process.
The terms and conditions of the program spell out five payment options
3.5.3. Subscription payment is made by credit card and renewal occurs automatically unless the subscriber requests cancellation of the ALL Signature. The available frequency options are:
(i) Recurring monthly : in this mode, the credit card will be charged monthly for the respective monthly fee and plan chosen by the subscriber;
(ii) Quarterly upfront : in this option, the credit card will be debited every three months for the respective quarterly amount and plan chosen by the subscriber;
(iii) Quarterly installments : in this option, the total subscription amount will be debited in monthly installments, over up to 3 months — corresponding to the duration of the quarterly plan —, according to the number of installments and the plan chosen by the subscriber.
(iv) Annual upfront : in this option, the credit card will be charged annually for the respective annual fee and plan chosen by the subscriber.
(v) Annual installment plan : in this option, the total subscription amount will be debited in monthly installments, over up to 12 months — corresponding to the duration of the annual plan —, according to the number of installments and the plan chosen by the subscriber.
 
Interesting that they appear to be accepting debit cards as payment, rejoined as few days ago using my Wise debit card.
 
Is the 5 nights/month allotment for the Absolute plan new? Just had 5 nights 'ALL Signature Plano Absolute - Monthly Earn Status Nights' drop.

I was also confused by the additional nights that just landed - I don’t recall getting any notice about this genuine enhancement (in the dictionary meaning). It won’t really help me either with the 30 nights max cap, but it may benefit some members.
 
I thought I read it somewhere on here, but can't find the thread now - Can I stack status nights I would get from ALL Signature with the 30 that I get from an annual ALL+ Explorer plan?
 
Are there any problems or issues if you also have ALL Explorer?

No. 30 nights total (the China scheme may be different, I dunno).

No. Many here do. The app lists them as 'paid cards' under one another and the benefits are complimentary, not overlapping - except for the free nights, recently introduced to Signature.

It would be interesting to see if someone who has already received 30 nights from Explorer this year will disclose if they received an additional 5 nights this month from Signature.

So the maximum number of status nights one can be "gifted" from these programs is 30? That would make the Signature Status nights useless if you also have explorer?

I note that with just the Absolute Signautre program at 5 nights a month you're accruing 60 per year just via that...
It would be interesting too see if someone who has already received 30 nights from Explorer this year will disclose if they received an additional 5 nights this month from Signature.
In which bit of policy (or Terms and conditions) does it say you can't/wouldn't receive them in if you already had Explorer?

Correct. But you could make a higher status level quicker.

In which bit of policy (or Terms and conditions) does it say you can't/wouldn't receive them in if you already had Explorer?

You'll receive them (as I did) but only a max of 30 from the combined programs will count.

Nope, got nada

Signature gives you 5 a month for 6 months only.

The ALL Accor + subscription programs, specifically designed to meet the needs of extensive and frequent travelers can be combined.
However, the Status Nights offered through subscription programmes and co-branded cards are capped at 30 per account/ year. This limit does not affect Status Nights earned from stays or other elegible activities while using the subscription.

 
But there is no limit on status POINTS?
It's the points I am chasing as you can't attain/retain Diamond with status nights, only points.
