Le Club Instant PLatinum Sign Up

[ComeFlyWithMe]

Checked in tonight for the first time in BNE... WTF... an entire stay can be ruined if I can't attribute it to a loyalty scheme. First and last stay

Ridiculous, isn't it.

I'm a Silver Accor Club member, with about 14 nights in 4 cities coming up, and booked under the current number.

If I were to re-join under the 'current' Platinum sign-up (I have spare e-mail etc to be able), does anyone know if I can change current, pre-paid bookings over to the Platinum membership number?

Best to call up, have them merge the two accounts under your existing number.

The neat thing with LeClub is that your member number is actually in the middle of the numbers. The last digits determine the membership level. When you check in (ideally) it will pick up the higher level. So you don't need to change your bookings at all.

From the FAQs on their Website:
I have more than one Le Club Accorhotels cards. Can I merge them into a single account?

You can combine your cards into one single account on the condition that all the cards are issued in your name. Only our Customer Service department is authorized to make this change: sign in to your account, go to the "Contact us" section and fill in the contact form. Tell us that you would like to combine your various cards into one account.

Might be best to stay a couple of nights on the new card/number first. JV

Thanks to both CFWM and JV.

Thanks to those, I just noticed that both the absolute last digit and also the last digit of the first block of numbers changed when I went from 'Classic' to 'Silver'. Will change my log-in!

As I may have mentioned earlier, I'm not big on Le Club as a scheme, but SWMBO likes staying at Sofitels (Sigh. Resigns oneself to a life of poverty in relative luxury.) The hurdle to go from Silver to Gold is 30 nights and from Gold to Platinum is another 60 nights (unless I've read this wrong Earn Le Club Accorhotels loyalty points). For me, these hurdles are way over the top for the incremental benefits earned at each level. The material benefit of Gold appears to be late check-out and one upgrade at one of the higher-end brands (and late check-out can often be granted anyway IME). For Platinum, there isn't any material added benefit over Gold, for me & SWMBO (stayed at Thalassa Spa in Agadir in February - totally under-whelmed).

Don't get me wrong, I and the missus love Accor hotels -at each price level I think they often give a bit more than most others; its the loyalty scheme I struggle with. I'd be happy with Gold level, but if its a Platinum match, then I'll give it a go!

Re: JV comments, staying on the new number is completely unnecessary. The contact centre are very familiar with this 'Amex' promotion and merge the accounts as a matter of routine IME.
As I said, best to keep the number with all the bookings as they will 'upgrade' you
Happy Sofitel-ing

Is there any active sign up link at the moment ?
Thank you !

Do not try to do this. It is 'fatal'.

Thanks, is there a way to combine/consolidate accounts - or "family transfer"?

 

[markis10]

Agree, plenty of reports of bye bye points when requested.

Wow, that post was over a year old - well before the reports of loss of points and account closures came about.
FWIW at the time I did do the account "consolidation" with no loss of points and no problem - obviously a different story now.

I left the coughpy 'Advantage Plus' and asked to convert to plain old Le Club, lost platinum, instantly back to (previous) gold and was told I got platinum based on 'Fraudulent use of a promotion'.

Nasty.

I received a similar email and now use IHG or HH

 

[DeKa]

Are there any similar links around? 10 mins of Googling and nothing .. if you're aware of anything please post

 

[bass_ke]

I've not seen one around since the enhancements

 

[blackcat20]

Last one I saw was October last year.

 

[joyceful]

i m looking for one too :-(

 

[jsoprano]

I was surprised today to receive an email from Accor... extending my Platinum status for another year. I obtained it through the link, it expires this month, and I had 4 stays only during the last 12 months. So will hopefully be able to make good use of it this year, happy days!

Did that happen to anyone else?

Yeh, happened to me after 0 stays. I got mine through my Plat Amex charge card (which I no longer have).

Got that too. Thanking me for my loyalty blah blah blah. Zero stays and only Plat thanks to some link too.

I'm expecting to be a bit miffed when I don't receive one of these closer to my expiry date (I got it through the link as well, but have had enough stays to be near gold status)

 

[Cynicor]

Yeah, couple months back, no stays, random link. Am eligible through Amex anyway but haven't signed up to it.
