Qantas Frequent Flyer members are being invited to register for an easy fast-track to Gold status with Accor Live Limitless (ALL), the loyalty program of Accor hotels.

How to take advantage of this offer

After registering for this offer on the Accor website, eligible Qantas flyers will receive a fast-track to Accor Live Limitless Gold status after staying just three nights at an eligible Accor hotel by 31 December 2024. Once you complete the stay of at least three nights, you’ll receive Accor Gold status until the end of 2025.

If you already have Gold status with Accor, this offer allows you to instead receive 10 status nights with an Accor hotel stay of five nights.

Your Accor Live Limitless account must be linked to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account to participate in this promotion.

Qantas and Accor last ran a similar promotion in 2022, offering instant Accor Gold status to Qantas Frequent Flyer members with Silver or higher status.

According to the terms of this offer, Accor will process your status upgrade after completion of the eligible 3-night stay.

What you get with Accor Live Limitless Gold status

The following hotel brands participate in the Accor Live Limitless (ALL) loyalty program:

When staying at these hotel brands, ALL Gold members can receive the following benefits:

• Priority check-in
• Early check-in or late check-out (subject to availability)
• Welcome drink
• Guaranteed room up to 3 days before arrival
• Complimentary upgrade to next room category (subject to availability)
• Bonus points on stays

Note that some Ibis Budget hotels don’t participate in Accor’s loyalty program.

Retaining Accor Gold status beyond 2025

To retain your status into 2026, you would likely need to meet the usual requirements of earning ALL Gold status during the 2025 calendar year. Specifically, ALL Gold normally requires members to stay at least 30 nights or spend the equivalent of €2,800 (~AU$4,000) per calendar year.

Note that you generally need to book hotels directly with Accor in order to receive ALL status benefits and earn elite qualifying nights at Accor hotels. Bookings made with third parties, including Qantas Hotels and other online travel agents, do not qualify.

You can get an extra 20 status nights each year by purchasing an Accor Plus membership. (Accor Plus membership is complimentary for American Express Platinum cardholders.)

The Qantas partnership with Accor

Qantas Frequent Flyer introduced a partnership with Accor Live Limitless in 2021, offering reciprocal benefits to members of both programs in the Asia-Pacific region.

Accor has also operated many of Qantas’ airport lounges for over a decade.

As an ongoing offer, Gold and Platinum members of Virgin Australia’s Velocity Frequent Flyer program can also get a complimentary one-off status match to an equivalent tier in either the IHG One Rewards or Hilton Honors loyalty programs.
