ALL Accor now allows 1000 min ALL points to reduce hotel room charge

[AustraliaPoochie]

Used to be a minimum points balance of 2000 ALL points to reduce hotel room per night charge.
Just noticed, that 1000 ALL points can be used too now.
Which is a good thing, otherwise if the points are not used, they will get "burned" or expired.

I thought you could just keep on collecting the points as long as you stayed in an Accor hotel.?

I thought ALL points didnt expire as long as you had movement within 12 months. My account resets to "must use within 12 months etc" everytime I have a stay.

Its also a pity they cant be used in 1000 point increments, ie 3000, 5000 etc

or dining, or e-Rewards or any other top up will extend points expiry by 12 mths.

But I guess lowering the 2000 / €40 discount to 1000 / €20 is handy for low balances.

Due to covid, I didn't fly a lot, and didn't use any hotels for those few years, think I lost about 800/900 ALL points, they got taken, ie, burnt as it said in the description, and not refunded.
Yes, if you have activity, ALL points don't expire, but my was coming to its end, as in they were going to start taking points away again, was nearly 12 months since my last Accor stay, so I saw in a payment booking last night, the offer to use 1000 ALL points, to reduce my room charge by 33 Eur.
Might as well use it.
Didn't use eRewards for a while, tried to reset the password, the password reminder never came, done it more than once, nothing, and I didn't change the email address used either.
Eating in an Accor hotel, esp the new Sofitel restaurant in the Adelaide hotel, can be $$$.
Booking hotel nights, is one of the better ways.
Now that travel is a bit freer, and no mask restrictions, probably will fly a bit more.
