Accor Plus Membership Discussion

IME every Accor property I have stayed in the past 2 years has asked for photo ID on check in.

Same here, it’s SOP, however a guest on the booking can show ID and get keys. I had a quick chat this morning to an Accor regional manager (Premium, Midscale & Economy) and they said hotels are concerned about fraud and chargebacks which have been on the rise lately. Using cash, doing a prepaid reservation or perhaps even a physical gift card tends to minimise any hotel risk was a suggestion.

Thanks for that @markis10 can understand the issues with fraud/ chargebacks etc.

I had two suburban properties in the past year that didn't. I just gave them my last name and they gave me the keys. I must have a trustworthy looking face.

Same here but clearly others have had exceptions.
