Well, this is interesting..

Couldn't access my account for a few hours, so I sent them an email on their pathetic clunky online forms.. Got this email a few days later...

Dear Mr Popielczyk,

Thank you for your e-mail dated 6 December 2012.

Please be advised that your Le Club Accorhotels Platinum account (xx_ xx_ xx_) was created through a promotion code: AMEXXOLPL212. However, after investigation, this promotional code "AMEXXOLPL212" has been deleted from Accor list code due to fraud and large communication on the web. Therefore, you are unable to access your account now.

Should you have another open account with Le Club Accorhotels, we can help transfer your points to the other account.

We thank you for your loyalty to Le Club Accorhotels.

Best regards,
Peter Travis
Your Le Club Accorhotels team

Yep. Can still access mine. Still platinum.
Mind you, points from a stay a month ago haven't posted; don't know if I can be bothered chasing.

Likewise. I sent a request to merge my existing Gold account with the Platinum account, resulting in an email from Peter stating that my Platinum account was created with a promo and has been neutralised. The next sentence indicated that the account was also closed.

I can still access my Platinum account... wonder if I can still make a booking with this account?

Hmmm.....Managed to make it to Gold on my own so maybe I would be better to stick with that rather than push my luck. After all, the printed benefits with Gold aren't that much worse than Platinum, accept for the bonus points and not as likely to be looked after. JV

I just checked into a Novotel and I asked for my membership number to be added to my booking. The lady at reception was having problems finding my new membership. (Deep down inside I was thinking about this post) so she finished checking me in and then did a search by email. She found my membership as a Platinum, sweet. I used the Amex code - having said that I have never been a Le Club member before.

So if you joined as a Platinum and when you ask to have your membership number added to your booking at check in ask them to look under "Platinum" rather than "New" member.

Hths.

Hi all!

Fear not, the Accor website (Le Club section) is down internationally. Nothing to do with this promo. (Source: FlyerTalk).

And what benefits did you receive sir?

 

[Sprucegoose]

I stayed at Sofitel Xian with this card and they gave me nothing.

Make a scene in the foyer, they wouldn't have a clue what was going on and may throw you a box of choccies?

Nada, they spent their time trying to aggressively sign me up for the paid membership.

The hotel was fully booked and another guy at the counter was trying to check in but his workplace had booked him in for two nights (a thurs and fri) but he had arrived on Wed for a Wed and Thurs stay.

At the time I did not know about the Plat upgrade on request but by the sounds of what was happening to the guy trying to check in there were no rooms on offer, not even a suite for him to pay for out of his own pocket.

The service offered was very good i.e. they were very polite and any other requests were promptly addressed even though it was a busy night. Room service was very busy and took about 40 mins, I had a chat to the room service waiter and I asked him how busy they were. He replied that they were fully booked and were absolutely rushed off their feet. Despite this the meal I ordered was lovely and the service guy was happy to have a short chat despite looking a little flustered.

I would happily stay at Novotel Bris Airport again.

Now that I know more of what benefits are on offer to Plats I shall book An Accor hotel next trip and see how I go for a room upgrade etc. I don't have any definite dates yet but I am sure I shall be travelling before the end of March. I shall report back on how I go with upgrades etc as they happen/don't happen.

FWIW, my Plat number was not on my booking as I booked through the Qantas website and I only joined Le Club later. I asked for the receptionist to add my Le Club number at check in hoping it would trigger the system to send out my plat membership card. So far it hasn't arrived, it has only been about two weeks or thereabouts so I am not worried.

re: Le Club Instant PLatinum Sign Up

I've just transferred over to Le Club Plat from GHA Black (though I haven't received a card yet), but it doesn't sound like it does much for me :/

The Sebel in Brisbane now accepts Le Club, which, along with an email "invitation" to transfer across, is what prompted me to change.

re: Le Club Instant PLatinum Sign Up

Just re-signed. Really odd, was a Platinum (non-earned) but that expired in Oct 2012. "It" said to me "as a Platinum you can re-sign as a Platinum" - different e-mail address supplied and I am now a Plat twice (one expired) with them. And it took me about ten attempts to do it - hence my less-than-complimentary' password.

Strange program, and I agree that you don't get anything significant unless at the top three brands, though I have got 'executive' floors at a couple of Novotels in the past (not that they gave me much).

re: Le Club Instant PLatinum Sign Up

You really need to ask for the stated benefits as they are generally not offered. Not how it should be, but it is. Also, if you stay somewhere once, you get significantly less recognition than if your returning. I am also Platinum for Priority club and it's worse. You need to purchase an Ambassador membership to add the benefits you would expect to get by being a Platinum member. With Accor's Platinum at least all these benefits are included (as they should be), but again, you need to ask.

Only at ic hotels. I'm treated quite well amongst the chain especially since I have xx_,xx_ PC points and they know I stay frequently.
