ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

I mainly asked because of the comment upthread about not renewing until you needed A+ benefits.

A little more context on my thoughts up there - I am yet to use a free night or BOGO as an A+ member, and only ever book travel on flexible terms, so RHR are not generally any use, either (unless available very close to travel). Since A+ status carryovers dried up, it's only the 15% off stay rates and the F&B discounts that do it for me (my status comes from spend, so don't need the nights), and as far as the discounted rate bookings go, I've found that continued membership is not necessary, so long as you are signed back up before it comes time to actually stay. YMMV.

Any future accommodation or restaurant bookings existing at the date of termination or expiry will be adjusted toreflect non-member rates.

Yikes! Thanks for pointing that out @serfty . I have Diamond until the end of next year and was then going to rest on my 'laurels' and not renew this November, as I wouldn't be travelling nearly as much in '28. I'll have to do the maths of renewed membership Vs paying increased rates.

But… as I mentioned, I’ve not experienced this. I’m sure rates would be adjusted if you rocked up as a non-member, but provided your membership is active again before you arrive (and restaurants, you only need to tell them when you request the bill!), I very much doubt anything negative would happen. They’re not monitoring for active subscriptions against bookings along the way. I’ve done this at different brands and on different continents and it’s been fine. Again, YMMV

Cheers,
Matt.
