Some Australian Ibis Budget properties now ALL participating

[thatsthatmattressman]

Read in LL today that certain Oz Ibis Budget Properties are now participating in the ALL program. Not great for points as they are counted much lower than other brands but useful for status nights.

Can anyone confirm this based on experience?

Good to know.

I stayed at the Ibis Budget in Dubbo last year assuming it would reset the activity on my Accor ALL account and stop my points expiring (it didn't) but good that this is now changing. Agree, could be useful for status nights.

ibis budget Brisbane Airport

Looking at just this hotel as it is closest to me, the website is encouraging, if that means anything. You can compare to the other ibis Budget in Brisbane, located at Windsor, here.

Good research @samh004 .. the site says it all! Hey good to hear you as the guest on the AFF on Air Podcast the other day with Matt Graham. Keep up the great work!

I do find it interesting, however, that this list (exceptions hotels) has not been updated accordingly. Then again, probably just par for the course on the confusing terms and websites for Accor.

Got my first Ibis Budget posting this morning. I had to request a missing stay from Accor but they sorted it out in 24 hours after my request put in.

If any Accor Plus members in Sydney want to manufacture a few cheap nights....

Following my recent $37.50 per night stay, confirming ibis Budget Enfield credited with no issues.

Checked out 18/12, points & nights arrived 21/12.

How were the amenities at that property mate? ;-)

Great for a cheap status run!
Book it for 2 months to get Platinum for under $2500

Two months in an Ibis Budget and you should get a medal!

A spare covid-isolation room for needy healthcare/aged care professionals perhaps.

Who said anything about actually staying at one?
Check in and then come back 2 months later to check out.
A few years ago I did similar at a Melbourne property but that was only for 8 days to get Platinum

Exactly what I was thinking.

It would appear that Australia isn't the only country where Ibis Budget hotels are part of the Accor All program. In particular, I draw you observant reader to Ibis budget hotels in Brazil:




Some of these rooms are relatively inexpensive (as little as $20/night) putting it in contention with some of the finer hotels one may find in downtown Las Vegas. I reckon Brazil ain't the only country which has Ibis Budgets offering ALL benefits, although a cursory look around Europe didn't reveal anything special.

Unfortunately the ALL website still lists Ibis Budget in Australia as not participating. Has anyone had recent experience where points/nights have credited successfully?

Untrue. You need to visit the individual property to see what benefits are offer. For instance, if you look at the Ibis Budget Newcastle it clearly shows that it is a participating property:


However, if we look at the Ibis Budget Sydney Airport, that's not the case:

Just going off this. Thanks team.

Part of the Accor website is inaccurate in terms of what hotels are part of the program. Indeed, there was an article on AFF two years ago discussing this discrepancy and noting how those who stay at participating properties did in fact receive stay credit.
