Accor Plus Membership Discussion

[Daver6]

My new card arrived today with a complimentary voucher for breakfast for two at any Accor property in Australian, NZ and Fiji. Haven't seen this benefit reported before, so a nice little addition.

I received this once with my original card. Landing up using it around three or four times until they actually wanted to keep it.

Indeed - handy for those without >=Platinum status. Does it need to be in conjunction with a stay, or can you just rock up to an eligible restaurant any time?

Cheers,
Matt.

Hard to say, certainly nothing in the conditions that says you need to be staying at the hotel.

If true, then good for everyone, even those with status!

Is this your first year of renewal?
The Accor plus free breakfast voucher is usually only for those that renew for the first time.
It’s not something you get every year

Yes first time renewal

Yes first time renewal

You need to get in touch with them as that is a listed benefit of Accor Plus

There are promotions around to get a breakfast voucher when signing up, but AFAIK it's not a standard part of the offer.

Paid subscription or complimentary via Amex Platinum?

Actually I think you're right and I was mistaken. It was on my first renewal that I received the breakfast voucher.

Paid subscription or complimentary via Amex Platinum?

Paid subscription, first time 'renewal', although technically speaking it was a new membership given I didn't renew by 30 June.

Mine was via Amex charge benefit.

Interesting. I didn't get a voucher for my first renewal in April/May 2021, although travel was still quite restricted at that time.

I did get a set of Accor branded bluetooth earphones in lieu of voucher I guess

Same scenario as me and I got one, too

Question on the 50% discount on dining. If I show my Silver Accor card before dining and then pay with my Am Ex card at the end. Will I get the points added to my account. I have linked a Visa Card in the App but would prefer to pay with Am Ex.

Charge it to your room to be certain of the points.

I pay all my Accor bills on Amex and get the dining points seemlessly because its billed to the room and also provides evidence of spend if you need to follow-up.

Thanks Lynda, but I'm not staying at the hotel.

Keep the receipt and just submit a points claim online.
