Free breakfast for Accor Gold members in China
Accor has announced a benefit boost for members staying at its hotels in Mainland China. You can read more here (in Chinese).
Amongst exclusive room rate and dining discount, the most impressive enhancement is one free breakfast for Accor Gold members. Accor’s breakfast benefit now looks like this:
- Gold: one free breakfast in mainland China
- Platinum: two free breakfast in Asia Pacific
- Diamond: two free breakfast in Asia Pacific, or only on weekends elsewhere
The gap is now huge between China / Asia Pacific and the other regions, and breakfast only on weekends for the top tier is very mean.
It’s not rare for hotel programs to offer enhanced benefits in Asia Pacific or China, for example IHG has similar arrangements too. However, the timing of this announcement is a bit weird given that many cities in China are still undergoing lockdowns and travels are not yet resuming.
1000 Free Miles (250 Accor Points) From Aegean Airlines
November last year, Aegean Airlines had a nice sign-up promotion where you could earn 5,000 miles for simply registering, and quite a lot of people took part.
If you are one of them – or if you a Miles+Bonus member anyway – you may be in for another nice surprise of 1,000 miles. A friend of mine received the following email from Aegean earlier:
A gift is waiting for you in the new digital environment of your account!
Something changed in Miles+Bonus!
Log in now to your Miles+Bonus account via aegeanair.com or AEGEAN app, browse the new digital interface and discover a special gift we have for you!
Seeing “a special gift”, I decided to try my luck as well although I received no communication whatsoever. And surprisingly, I saw this pretty banner when I logged into my Miles+Bonus account:
It appears that some people have received a variant of the offer, including 2,000 miles or 20% off a future booking to name a few.
Even if you don’t fly Aegean or Star Alliance, remember that 2,000 miles can be converted to 500 Accor points, which is worth €10 for hotel stays.
18-night Fast Track to Platinum for Accor Plus Members
Accor Plus – Accor’s special paid membership programme in Asia Pacific – is running a fast track promotion for its members.
You can access the offer page here.
- Register by April 15
- Book and stay by August 31
- Silver members get an additional 10 night credits after one stay
- Gold members get an additional 15 night credits after one stay
Upon purchasing Accor Plus membership you are granted Silver status right away. Note that only Silver and Gold members can register to this offer.
Remember that everyone earns double elite night credit throughout 2021. For a Silver member, with the 10 bonus credits you only need to stay 10 nights to gain Gold (10+10*2=30); and then this rewards you with an additional 15 credits, so a total of 18 nights stayed elevates you to Platinum (10+10*2+15+8*2=61).
If you are already Gold though, you only earn 15 bonus night credits which means it still requires 23 nights for you to become Platinum.
Qatar Airways and Accor Plus Status Extension
With the pandemic’s threat still very strong, multiple airline and hotel corporations have published new status extension or qualification reduction policies for 2021 already.
Qatar Airways has just announced that, all elite memberships that are due to expire during 2021 will be valid through 2021, if you fail to meet the qualification criteria.
It is not hugely generous to be honest, as it only means a measly couple of months’ extension for those whose status is about to expire towards the end of this year. However, Qatar Airways ran a status match campaign in May 2020, and those who got their free status will also benefit.
It looks that Accor Plus, a paid Accor scheme in Asia Pacific, has also got a new policy. As you can read here:
Please Note: Due to the impact Covid all Accor Plus members will maintain their current status upon renewal in 2021.
You should be able to extend your status for another year when you pay to renew your status in 2021. It’s only mentioned in the AU site, but from the sound of it it should be a system-wide policy for all Accor Plus members.
Radisson Double Points Promotion
Radisson Rewards has just launched their new quarterly global promotion. You can sign up here.
You earn double points for all paid stays completed between 1 February and 30 April. Unfortunately reward stays won’t benefit from this promotion.
Double points means an additional 20 points for each dollar spent on your room. Radisson Rewards awards double points compare to the other programmes including Marriott, IHG and Hilton (10 per $), but its value is relatively low too.
Accor double points & UK gift card 15%-extra sale
Just saw two promotions when I logged on to Accor’s website and might be worth sharing.
The first offer is here, although it’s unlikely to be useful. Book and stay by 10 January and you will earn double reward points on your stay.
The second offer, which is more interesting, can be accessed here. Accor is now selling e-giftcards in the UK, and to promote it you are getting double bonuses for your purchases:
- Up to 1,500 bonus points
- Up to £40 extra value
For the former, you need to purchase by 31 December. 500 bonus points is awarded for the £100 gift card, and 1,500 for the £250 one.
The latter is less clear – the message says you’ll get £40 extra value for the £250 gift card, however there’s no mention of the deadline or if you get anything for the £100 or other denominations.
If you purchase the £250 gift card now, you get an additional value of £40 plus 1,500 points which is worth €30, which isn’t a bad deal.
You can only use the gift card at participating Accor properties in the UK. The gift card is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase, and cannot be used for pre-paid spend, i.e. checkout only.
Free points daily via Accor’s Advent Calendar
Accor has a tradition of having an online advent calendar promotion every year, and this year is no exception. You can access the offer here.
Note that all information in French, and the competition is meant for French residents in selected countries only. However, I had no issue participating despite my address being in UK, and other people on Flyertalk have reported similar results.
Simply enter you membership number (without space) and email address and then you are good to go. There’s only one question to answer and even a hint next to it! My question was “How can you accrue Accor points” which was super easy.
Unfortunately I only won an extra entry to the final competition (3-night stay voucher for two at any Accor hotel in France). Many people managed to win 250 points (€5) straightaway.
Besides nearly six millions points to give away, other prizes include free night vouchers (brand specific), bags and cabin luggage etc.
Double Accor points for Europe stays
Accor has launched a good rewards offer for hotel stays if you intend to travel in the next month.
You can sign up to the offer here.
- Book by 8 January
- Stay by 10 January
- Your stay(s) will earn double reward points
Note that you must register before making the booking, and the stay must be in one of the following countries: Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia And Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Ireland, Poland, Republic Of Macedonia, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.
Accor is terrible in writing terms & conditions, and in following them. In the t&c it sounds like the offer may only be valid only once, however I won’t be surprised if it’s valid every time instead.
