Accor Plus Membership Discussion

I actually got a call from Accor today to advise me of the bonus nights (30) and reduced price if I renew my Accor Plus. After I got over the shock I advised that just last night I checked with Amex how I go about securing the Accor Plus benefit for my platinum card (as I purchased Accor Plus prior to getting the Amex). They advised "it should happen automatically" after expiry. I dutifully screenshotted the chat of course.
Back to the Accor rep, I thanked her for the call and advised of my chat with Amex. She is going to call me back when my Accor Plus expires. Be interested to see what happens.
 
Has anyone got a screenshot of what can be had for $500 Discovery Dollars? Only tours or cruises, for what I understand. What sort of tours cost $500? Are there short cruises 2 – 3 days in length too?

What I really mean is, if the annual cost of membership is currently about $450, then the membership cost is essentially free, right?

Moreover, are there limitations to what you can spend the $500 Discovery Dollars on (i.e. minimum spend)?

Can anyone who has taken up the Discovery membership confirm if it includes an additional complimentary hotel night ie. on top of the Stay Plus benefit included in Explorer membership?
The benefits page on the Accor Plus site lists a complimentary hotel night as an additional benefit but my chat with an agent was vague to say the least.
It’s being offered at an additional $69 so might be a great deal but seems too good to be true.

Mine ran out on the 15th Feb but still showing plus in the app - does it take a while to go away
 
Accor Plus memberships normally run to the end of the month.
Does that mean if they have deducted membership for the coming year earlier in the month as an auto-renewal (ie yesterday) that you can contact them to cancel the renewal? My elderly father thought that he had cancelled it and to be fair, when I looked at his account a few weeks ago even I couldn't see it showing as auto-renew so I also thought he must have cancelled it - it's not a very clear account set up. He claims he didn't receive a notification of renewal (but also admitted that he may have deleted it as advertising.)
