How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

This is unusual. I thought Accor policy was to forgo the bond for Gold and above, or at worst a $1 preauth.

Yeh that seems excessive , 600, however the bonds are still charged at some properties definitely. The 25 hours in Darlinghurst was 100pn even as a platinum.

Yep, even as a Diamond some places will charge us 1 night bond

Is that a policy or just hotel by hotel? I mean I’ve always wondered when checking in that I didn’t have any preauth as plat but a colleague travelling with me did. Once at a mantra in cairns was explained that’s their policy.

Finding it more frequent now @henrus

2 years ago as Gold +, never had to leave cc for pending deposit, now every hotel in Australia and Asia have asked for it.
In Thailand, now Platinum, so far this trip asked for 4000THB ~ AUD 170 and Singapore SGD 100, both dropped off at check out.

It’s up to the hotel, speaking to a few GMs they are incurring shrinkage from the Diamonds who seem to like the linen/pillows etc

And maybe the Effluencers who want everything for nix @markis10

I must admit I have an affinity for HIX pillows and took one or two with permission from the GM, then found out they come from a mob 10kms from where I live, mind you they charge $200 a pop

I don’t even take the slippers most of the time so definitely no to the linen or pillows
