ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

6am still A+ Gold
8.30am Congratulations Platinum
What sort of things does one get as their Membership gift - Well-being or Culture?

The categories are a bit odd, but for platinum:

Entertainment : 6 months pressreader or print some photos
Culture: one year of Wall St Journal

+ donate to some charities

In the last half mine has been updated to show 2 Stay Plus nights. No otger noticeable changes but we had already retained Diamond a while back so expiry date already was 31/12/2026

Holy cough! Retained Platinum status till 2026 with only 32 nights. Thanks Accor!

Same.
It looks like anyone with a membership anniversary of Jan to September gets to keep their status until Dec 2026.

Probably the system glitched - I selected one gift yesterday and got to pick another one today.

I renewed Accor+ a couple of months ago and got the usual 20 bonus nights. Another 10 applied overnight taking me over 60
Plat till 31/12/26
ALL Accor Explorer until 21/10/26
2 SNUs to be used by 31/12/26
Reward points to be used by 30/9/26
EDIT: Membership gift to be used by 31/12/25

These all make sense to me.

They've announced that status for Accor Plus will no longer be extended to match the membership anniversary date and will now follow the standard calendar year. Interestingly, instead of shortening everyone's status to 31 Dec 2025, it has been extended to 31 Dec 2026.

Status expiry and the benefits goes by calendar year.

This is most likely the 2025 calendar year gift and you'll receive another one for the 2026 calendar year.

Accor plus expiry goes by registration date.
ALL Accor Explorer until 21/10/26


Also the popup noted that accor plus nights won't be usable until 10am 1 Oct today so it's expected it wont be usable right now. (though I don't think it specified which timezone.)

The gift yesterday could be for the 2025 calendar year and the gift today for the 2026 calendar year, since everyone's status got extended.

I'd be surprised if they don't assess elite tier qualification after Dec 31 for 2025 based on the new T&Cs, regardless of what is displayed right now. Screen shots of the end date as of today might help with a complaint, but unless you have attained or retained Platinum in 2025 by some means (other than A+), then there's still a risk that an account will be adjusted in January 2026

p.s. mine is a little odd, showing Platinum to 31 Dec 2025, even though I've re-qualified on status points (spend) in July, and am now close to Diamond. 1 stayplus is converted to 2, and I the 4 SNUs I had available have carried over in the upgraded app

Stay Plus nights are starting to come online now

Lots of people signed up on the old Accor plus T&Cs. If they shorten everyones status expiry now, so late in the year, it'll cause huge legal headaches especially when Accor plus is offered in so many jurisdictions.

Extending them to the end of 2026 seems like a good middle ground.. It's a one-off and after that, everyone has to requalify each calendar year.

I had an Accor Plus membership anniversary/expiry of September 2025. As such this expired last night and am now showing as Platinum until 31Dec25.

My plan is to renew this month via QBR (promo includes 10K QFF and 3K Accor - the 14 months is no more).

Interesting one... I got the bonus +10 status nights too (signed up for Accor+ back in July). I’d already hit Platinum, and normally the counter stops at 60 nights, but this time it kept going and ticked over to 70 for the first time.

Maybe they’re secretly testing a new tier? Diamond+? Ultra Platinum?
