Status at time of booking vs at time of check in

[Mondo]

Is your status automatically updated for future bookings once you attain a new level? I have about a half a dozen bookings coming up that I made earlier in the year when I was gold. I'm now platinum.

Not much information on the web, but I found something from 2015, to say you need to contact all the hotels separately before your stay... That sounds painful.. was hoping they might have updated their systems since then...

Any recent experience from the group?

from my understanding is the hotel does a room allocation a few weeks/ days in advanced and the status appears then BUT I'm fairly new to Accor brand and how they treat elites

I would highly recommend emailing for your upcoming stays. I've had instances where my higher status tier wasn't recognised. Accor property emails are quite easy to find on the property information pages (unlike some other chains which seems to suppress it wherever possible)

Your membership number changes slightly when you change ALL status tiers so you should include your new number in the email.

I second @sudoer's comment. From my recent experience going straight from Silver to Platinum (via the accelerated status offer earlier in the year), it is much smoother if you email and let them know that you have achieved a higher level of status than when you booked.
