i was overseas and the next day booking would have the late checkout would have helped for the afternoon flight departure.
thanks, just wanted to be sure as i just made a booking without status. Wouldn't want ot be missing out on something because i didn't wait. Can always cancel and rebook i guess if price hadn't changed or perhaps call and have the booking updated.
No human at the property or Accor is looking at a booking until about 24 hours out from your check-in, by which time and if the status has been upgraded, then Gold is all they will see. There shouldn't be any need to cancel and rebook, or update them (provided the ALL member number was on the booking). The only advice I'd give is to try and book flexible if you can, in case something goes awry with the upgrade... but other than that, book now while more inventory is there.
Good call, imho. I'm not sure if others have had my experience but Accor Plus really isn't particularly good value for families - the exception being the dining discounts (which don't count children and allow the adults to keep their pro rata per head discount, although many restaurants won't apply the discount to kids menu) but the part that really gets me is that 100% of any red hot rooms or stay offers I have ever had any interest in will be applied to a particular room rate, lets say "Superior" which will have a limit of 2 adults meaning any family bookings are full rack rate, so you basically miss out on the deals part of the membership entirely.
It will be the one linked to your Qantas account. It should show in your Accor account that it is linked.
I just logged in to check: No, not yet.
We are only at 3 weeks since the end of the offer, so I'd say 1 more week. while the wording gave us hope it might occur sooner than 4 weeks after the end of the offer, it seems it will not be the case.
Anyone else face this too?
I think it was 4 weeks after the promotion ended, which was back on August 12 - so likely another week or two.
