Amongst all hotel groups Accor isn’t the most keen or creative in terms of publishing bonus points offers. They have just launched a very good offer though for your stays in the UK and Europe.

You need to register here. Like always the t&s is unclear and somewhat conflictual, but I believe the offer is:

• Book by 16 November
• Stay by 13 December
• Valid for select countries in Europe and Central Asia
• You earn 1000 bonus points if your stay includes a Fri, Sat and Sun night, or 500 bonus points otherwise
• It’s triggered on your first five eligible stays

Full list of participating countries is: Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia , Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Réunion, Saint Martin and French Guyana.

There’s no minimum-stay requirement, therefore you could stay just one night at a cheap Ibis hotel and bag 1000 points which is worth €20.

Note the usual gotchas though: only new bookings after registration count, and don’t part-pay you booking using points!
