Introducing Accor’s Auto-enrol Business Programme

[SYD]

Just received subject email from ALL Accor. I haven’t looked at the details just yet but could be useful for SMEs. Suggests up to 9% discount (the paid Ibis Business program is something like 5% but only on Ibis rack rate - but you get Gold status thrown in).

I’ve registered for this free program and waiting for the confirmation (supposed to be within 24 hrs).

The headline benefit is up-to 9% discount off best available rates across most Accor properties (5% off Ibis brands). The catch is you need 20 nights to get the annual “auto-renew” but that can be spread across multiple associated travellers.

Registration is supposed to create a company login and discount code. Sounds like you can also enter those codes when booking online through your individual profile. If the discount is available for a particular property/date a special rate symbol will be displayed in the search results (similar to Ibis Business - for those familiar with that).

My request was processed within 24 hrs and company code (customer code) and access code generated that can be manually entered into the search or better, add them via “Work details” under your profile (I found the app easier to do that than website).

I immediately saved $40 by rebooking one night next week in the UK. Which is significantly more than the advertised 5% for an Ibis. Not sure how but not complaining.

Alas, a future booking in CBR later in September didn’t have discount nights…

I’ve not had a chance to play too much with properties, days rates etc But some random searches appear to show different discounts to different room rates on different days - if that makes sense. So it could be hit and miss on some properties.
