ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

If you end up 3 nights short, I would do a mattress run to the cheapest Ibis you can find! That's what I was planning when it looked like I would come up to about 54 nights earlier this year.

Yes, but I pride myself on not chasing status. Plus about half my stays are in Europe where platinum is just a non-event.

so I'd say you are probably going to be OK for 2026 as you would surely have 30 stay nights for the whole of 2025, right?

yes, I have to sheepishly admit that my auto renewal email, paid first August effective end of August mentioned that I would get 10 nights on top of the standard 20 nights of my category. Like @ellen10 's. I really must read that stuff more closely.

So I'm sweet.

I am still leaning towards burning the stay plus night and canceling/re-subscribing, even with the promised 10 day top up (that I am not convinced of until they put it in the FAQ/T&Cs). Unless there was some sticky benefit associated with remaining subscribed, depending on your sign up date (mine is recent) it is pretty good value to burn the stay plus and only pay for a partial year subscription, and then resubscribe for the 30 days and 2 more stay plus nights.

Until I see anything that precludes it, I am going to go in that direction.

I’ll earn 6168 status points, so about 700 short; pretty close, not counting any additional spend.

Consider a single month membership of Signature then - you will buy 5000 reward points (that you can use to pay for accommodation) and 1000 status points (towards your status target) for your one month membership. Cancel once you have got the points you need. You can cancel at any time. Just be sure to time it well in advance of the end of 2025 so the inevitable Accor stuff ups don't cause you to miss out on the end of calendar year deadline. Again, I acknowledge @sudoer for pointing me towards this earlier in the year. It works for me, and might suit your situation too @RooFlyer

I considered cancelling and resubscribing until I realised I have a booking in mid September on a members rate booked during the recent sale. I can't run the risk of them repricing my booking to today's non-member rates.

My mebership expires end of August. I am platinum for at least another year and only about 2000 status points off Diamond status.

I am considering lapsing membership but would appreciate your comments on this senario

- about to potentially book Maldives in next week
- will be using some Accor Points to reduce spend but woukdnt mind sone extra points if there was a way to get them

If I renew now, will I be able to use the free nights on Maldives - current option is Pullman or Mecure (leaning towards Pullman)

Is there any other benefit I can use towards this holiday, or might lose if i dont renew? I am potentialy booking all inclusive at Maldives

Ah.... already joined IBIS/Voyageur for the 30SC. What I noticed from these announcement vs Voyageur:
1. No mention of room guarantee availability.
2. The discount maxes at 15% vs up to 20% (sometimes even more in my experience with Sofitel)
3. SE Asia vs Worldwide

It is cheaper and probably more relevant to me.

I need to book some hotels mid-October in Japan/HK, now I'm thinking if I should just wait until Oct 1 to book stuff using the updated 2 nights for 1 deals...

I've just read all 8 pages of this thread and I still have no idea what's happening. I'll deal with it another day

I'm trying to wrap my head around the stacking of status nights with memberships. Based on multiple posts online, it seems like Accor Plus China sometime last year changed it so that you could stack up to 50 status nights although T&C references (as of 03/25) show a max of 50 nights so I'm curious where that is documented.

If the 50 status nights is correct then how would that work with Accor Plus China? Does that mean that the two programs are split? Bit of a head scratcher here.

Some articles out there that A+ China will be aligned to 30 night max in due course.

Thanks. That’s helped a lot. I really appreciate your effort.

I wonder if this is reality lagging behind T&Cs. T&Cs already say 30 days but it isn't being enforced yet.
