I got a call from Accor this morning trying to hard sell me into buying the membership for A$279. Apparently it's only sold by referral, and a mate of mine bought the membership yesterday and gave them my contact details (she gets a wine voucher in exchange apparently). :-|
Anyway it did seem like a good deal if you're going to stay/dine with Accor a lot in Asia Pacific. Can't remember exactly some of what the woman said now, as she spoke at 300 miles per hour. But it's A$279 for a one year's membership, and you get a free night anywhere in Asia Pacific, big discounts on room rates, discounted food at Accor hotel restaurants, and so forth.
I didn't take her up on the membership, even though she was pretty persuasive. So I did kinda waste her time , but I also did tell her very early in the convo that I'm a Starwood loyalist (with a good few other chains as contingencies) so the Accor card isn't going to do me any good and I believe my mate did warn her about how particular I am - so I don't feel too bad about turning her down I guess. :-|
