Possible to earn status points without hotel stay?

[Daver6]

I'm 49 status points short of platinum. Is it possible to earn these points without doing a mattress run? Ie, dine at an Accor hotel?

Secondary question, so the status points reset on a calendar year?

Finally, I presume this is worth doing using a red hot room rate in my city at some point in time? The plat benefits look like they'll pay for themselves with ease. Have I missed something?

Edited for clarity

I am not aware of anyway other than staying.

And yea, you start from 0 on Jan 1.

Hi Daver. Do you mean you have only stayed 11 of the 60 nights in a year?
Before Covid I used to retain platinum by gaining the required points but I think nowadays you need the bed nights

My apologies. My original post was terribly worded. I meant I'm 49 status points short of the 14,000 required for platinum.

I understood what you meant(!) but no, you’ll need that mattress run if you see future benefit at another place. An Ibis sale rate or something similar?

Strictly speaking, you’re not required to stay.

Check in and pay for your room in full should be sufficient.

But Ibis is lovely this time of year. Think of it as an adventure.
