Can anyway advise if Sofitel ADL allows suites for the free nights?

You can use your Stay Plus on Suites but it often doesn’t give you great value. Not sure if that’s a glitch in the system or not.

My observation is that the Stay Plus in most cases works as a credit towards your booking at a value similar to the cost of the cheapest room.

I think that’s what it supposed to be but then sometimes you will see that it’s only like $100 difference or something so I presume that just the taxes.

Not taxes in my experince ... sometimes a property 'has sold out' of BOGO availability for the base room but they still have capacity for use on a higher priced room. In the $100 case that is supposed to be the difference between the two room rates.

Currently Platinum with a stay at a Fairmont in January.

Currently at 21,100 ~ points with another 1500 or so to be achieved by next weekend.

Probably on track to crack 26k to be diamond and plunder the fairmont gold lounge in January, but if I fall just short is there an avenue to attain diamond? I've got significant stays booked through January.

Accor need to look at the team working the Explorer portfolio. Just a huge string of marketing fails.
