[markis10]

Hi all, I have just had my membership renewed and with the 30-nightst bonus and the bookings I have made up to late December Ill be about 4000 status points or 10 nights off Platinum any tips or hacks for getting the extra points/nights required

Thanks Clive

Have you tried the Chinese option? Reports are it still works and the premium option for $300 would do the trick

Specifically the All Signature Absolute subscription (4 x 1000 status points for 4 months over Sep-Dec inclusive)

Is there not a limit of points/nights that you can accrue through card membership?

You can earn 1000 status points per month through Signature.

Signature is the only way you can get status points if not staying. Status nights are limited to 30 per year using subscription programs although this is not currently applicable to the China Accor Plus program in reality, how long the loophole remains is unknown.

The ALL signature program allows yiu to focus on status points rather than free nights. As you already have ~10,000 status points, you only need 4,000 more to reach the 14,000 needed for Platinum. As a plus you will also get 5,000 reward points per month (plus a further bonus after 4 months) that you can use to pay for stays down the track on top of the status points you need for Platinum.
Signature recently also started giving credit stay nights but these probably won’t count. Well maybe they do - who knows. I wouldn’t rely on that avenue. Focus instead on meeting the status points target not stay nights to get platinum. Follow the link I posted and have a good read. Also there is a separate thread here on Signature.

Cost comparison of Accor Signature Absolute (4000 status points) vs Accor China 2.0 (+10 nights) to hit Platinum:

Accor Signature Absolute
760 Reals/month for 4 months = 3040 Reals (approx AUD820)
You get 25,000 reward points = approx AUD400 value (2000 points = 40 Euro)
Net cost = AUD820-800 = $20

Accor China 2.0
Premium subscription = around 2200RMB (if sale still on) = approx AUD250
Gives 20 nights credit. Don't need the top Supreme subscription which gives 30 nights.
Premium subscription gives 1 free night voucher for use in China/HK/Macau, nominal value say AUD120 if used at Ibis Sheung Wan HK, so net cost could potentially almost be negated if the voucher is used at AUD200 property.
Downside: need to buy through wechat or alipay/fliggy and the potential challenges that go with that.

25,000 Accor points are worth €500 or about A$800

Thanks all, I went for the Accor Signature Absolute paid monthly and received points straight away but
not the status nights, I was also thinking If i paid quarterly do you receive points monthly or do you get them each quarter?
and thanks so much for the guidance

You receive the points monthly regardless if you pay monthly, quarterly or yearly.

I think the first time I subscribed it took about 5 days for the status points to come through. I pay monthly, and all the points (status and reward) now generally credit on the payment date each month (+/- 1 day).
