Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

[Anna]

So apparently despite not having stayed anywhere near 30 nights I am somehow only 295 Accor points off qualifying for platinum. Taking into account that as QF WP I seem to earn 3 points per dollar spent (I think?) what's the most efficient way to get the remaining 295 points? Do I need to invent a reason to stay another night somewhere or could I earn the points on maybe bar spend without actually staying??

Wow, how did you do that so soon in the new membership year?

It’s only 23 Jan, so probably too soon for anyone to qualify on nights - unless they have Fasttrack?

BTW, the 3x earn isn't that just “reward points” not “status points”?

I have no idea so that's why I'm asking As to 'new membership year' I'm just going off what my Accor account says, and stays this year and last year are all still being counted together. Are you saying that at some point they will get around to separating 2022 stays from 2023 stays?

To get status points, you do have to stay.
Having said that, if the 2022 status points are still in your total, they will probably drop off at some point.

So I've just double checked and my account is definitely saying that my gold status is until 31.12.2023 and that I either have to stay 23 more nights or earn 295 more points but where I am going wrong is that I need to do that to maintain gold, not to get to platinum.

So presumably your next paid stay will take you over the 295 and your account should click over Gold to 31Dec24. Which is still pretty good!

But that means that you must be 7295 status points (= €2,800 spend) away from Platinum with the remainder of the year to get there.

Any updates on the fast track or are we still stuck in the slow lane?

Don’t get too excited, they tend not to work for existing status members.

Accor has another fast track with Flight Center

https://all.accor.com/promotions-offers/fasttrack-offers/fast-track-offer-fctg-2023.en.shtml?hasPromoCode=true&promoCode=FTC5S7G100161960723&lang=en

Anybody know how this works? Do bookings made via the FC website work? The wording seems more lax than the last time they ran this kind of promo.

When I tried to register for the promo the website mentioned that I was not eligible for the fast track.

I've just 'fast-tracked' myself to Platinum, after joining in August... why do it in 60 when you can do in 10 (or less!) I so wish Bonvoy would have had this method.

Likewise, it appears I’m not eligible.
