Accor Plus Membership Discussion

Considering my drinks spend, might actually be ahead with the 15% off alcohol...

In general, I am pretty comfortable with the upgrade. Bit of a shame about the loss of status extension though...

If I understand it right, I might be better off taking the pro-rata refund and resubscribing. If I took the pro-rata refund, I'd get another 30 nights on resubscription and get platinum through to end of next year, rather than may (my renewal date). If I was in extra travel hacker mode, I'd use my stay plus night first and get 2 more on resubscription.

Maybe I need a new hobby.

Only ever dine with the wife, so the drop from 50% to 30% for a lot of meals has me rethinking the value of Accor+ (And ALL as a whole).

Looks like the price has dropped too? Site is showing $349/year.

Interesting changes. I probably come out ahead with the change to 2 stay free nights. I mostly travel in Asia Pacific so the 15% flat discount i think comes out better, but i do often stack with a sale, so i guess it's hard to say for sure there. Maybe i need to head out of Asia Pacific!

The discounts on stays ex APAC is nice. Doing some major trips in Europe. Will be handy.

I wonder if the 30 free night will continue stacks with Accor Plus China as per current process. This means if you buy accor plus membership on both side its instant platinum without any stay.

Note that the pro-rata refund will result in a clawback of the status nights that were granted at your renewal.

If you are in multiple programs, there is a new overall limit of 30 nights

For bonus Status Nights awarded to a Member when subscribing to or renewing an ALL Accor+ membership programme, regardless of the number or types of ALL Accor+ memberships the Member holds, a limit of 30 bonus Status Nights awarded across all memberships held will be counted towards determining the annual Status Nights' balance for that Member.

That is reasonable. Resubscription would result in 30 in place of the 20. Could use the stay plus night and still be ahead. Not sure if it would get me to plat or not, will need to run the numbers.

May or may not go down this road. All the data points are very helpful.

My membership is linked to Amex and the email that I received says this:



Not sure if that is any different from those who are direct members.

My understanding was that if I renewed Accor Plus before end of September this year I would maintain Platinum until at least September 2026, if insufficient nights in 2025.

Until October 1st, that is still the case.

If you renew prior to 30th September you should be assessed under the current arrangements, they don't state otherwise and I would be very surprised if they attempted to claw back a few months of status - What is certain is if you renew after 30th September you will miss out as it will be calendar year aligned to ALL.

another questions, if my membership ends in December, usually the renewal email comes on early December right? so the 30 night status will be added on December or January (next year), for the count of platinum status I need it to be added in December, so just asking to make sure.

From the terms and conditions "For renewing members, the bonus Status Nights will be reflected on the 1st day of their new Membership year."

If you are valid until 31st December I would say you will miss out.
