Accor Plus Membership Discussion

[henrus]

We usually ignore the online and kiosk checkin and always use Reception to checkin at Novotel Airport Melbourne @brokenxsmile

If there is a queue at the desks it means you get to your room very quickly. Some very minor software changes and they'd be perfect.

So what value would members put on a "life time" Platinum? Being offered to me with AVC Lifestyle Traveller.

Lifetime Accor Vacation Club status mightn’t be worth much if there’s no AVC anymore? Didn’t it fold into something else in late 2023? What details have you been given?

Well, there you go.

In that case, I would value Lifetime ALL Platinum status at the going rate for 1-2 breakfasts (in Asia Pacific properties) and a handful of lounge drinks per night, plus the average of a single category room upgrade per stay, multiplied by the number of nights per year you would stay in participating Accor hotels, for the rest of your lifetime, minus said benefits on the stays where you would already have received the room type you needed, lounge access, or breakfast by virtue of what you actually booked.

In my case, the value is zero, but YMMV

Cheers,
Matt.

Not much value , wouldn’t get much use of the Platinum benefits staying in AVC timeshare properties.

Secondhand membership would save you heaps.

I just tried to use my free night from Accor Plus. The free night runs out at the end of 28th Feb but my Gold runs out 15/2 and I'm not renewing unless there is another special.

I just tried a random date in London and it said not available - is it hard to use or do you know how to work out where you can use it

Availability varies across properties (less at popular venues, eg sofitel darling harbour) and dates (less/none the closer date you are looking to book). Ie it's not guaranteed to be available 24/7.

The Accor plus free night is only in Asia pacific hotels I believe

Thanks for your responses - looks like a night in the Sofitel in Adelaide with dinner at Garcon Bleu coming up

Curious to know what the fee is for if you are happy to provide feedback.

Edit: Re read post, fee for co payment from free night it seems as per @markis10

Just checked in and no fee! So not sure what it was for. Will make sure there’s no mystery fees on check out.

Dinner tonight at an Accor venue for which I used the Accor Plus dining benefit.

Dinner for two adults (so 50% off) plus a kids meal ($14, no discount).

Total before A+ $161 (inc kids meal).

Final price $75.

No complaints, but a real head scratcher.

Did you get drinks? Those are only 15% off.

Nope. Bar operates separately.

Also had bizarre maths at Swissotel syd last month. And she was using a calculator!... kids (or schooling) today!

Your case, maybe halved the initial bill ($82 incorrect rounding) then subtracting instead of adding back ½ the $14.

 

[Zanzaid]

Hmm maybe a 15% surcharge? I can get close to $75 but not quite. Though the Sola website says no discount on Public Holidays so it can't be a surcharge and a discount if that was the case... Human calculation error maybe then? haha.

 

[Captain Halliday]

No surcharge today. That’s tomorrow.

Doesn’t matter how it happened. I’m just happy I’m on the winning side.
