Qatar partnership with Accor + status fast-track

[Mattg]

Qatar Airways Privilege Club has launched a new partnership with Accor ALL.

You can link your Accor & QR accounts in a similar way to how you can link your QFF or Flying Blue account with Accor. Pretty sure you wouldn't be able to link Accor/QR accounts if you already have your QFF/Accor accounts liked, though.

The interesting part of this partnership is the status fast-track offers, which work in both directions:

• If you have Accor Gold, you can get QR Silver (oneworld ruby) after taking one QR flight
• If you have Accor Platinum, you can get QR Gold (oneworld sapphire) after taking one QR flight
• If you have Accor Diamond, you can get QR Platinum (oneworld emerald) after taking one QR flight

QR Gold & Platinum members can also get Silver or Gold Accor status (respectively) by staying 1 night at an Accor hotel.

I get an error saying it's already linked to another account. Maybe I could open a new one because I have no status

You can only link one airline at a time. See the previous discussion: Fast-track QR membership tier or Accor status level

And you have to wait a year after you linked to the first airline partner.

Makes sense, otherwise that would be a glaring loophole allowing multiple statuses.

Just need Accor to offer a seperate Diamond status match offer!

You have to unregister from Qantas if you have it linked.

Yeah that would be awesome if they did.

You can but you then have to wait a year.

Unless you have moved to a different continent

Someone mentioned somewhere that if you call Accor they can unlink it for you.

Yes, but see the T&C linked in my earlier post. @oz_mark has me thinking, though ...

It took me an eternity to get them to unlink my FlyingBlue so I could link QF. I was long past the 12 mth change limit but the system just didn’t provide the means to unlink online - unlike what was rolled out for QF.

Depending on what you‘re after, it’s pretty easy to set up another Accor account. The unique “key” detail is email address (or at least it used to be).

If you set up another account then you won't have status for the fast track.

Correct. Which is why is I said “depending on what you’re after”. I probably should have been more explicit on those with QR status but wanting Accor status (but already linked to QF).

If I got my ALL status (via Accor Plus) via Amex Plat, can I still link ALL to QR? Effectively, does the Amex association count like an airline association?

 

[airlinemn]

How long does the QR status last for? As long as I keep my Accor platinum status?

No. You will get 1 year of QR status once you qualify and then you will drop from QR Gold back to Silver if you fail to earn the required points

Doesn't ALL plat match into QR Gold? I thought it was ALL Diamond that matched to QR Plat.

Yes, hence why I said you would drop back from Gold to Silver
