        • gadgetguy on 28/10/2013 - 13:10

          Did you manage to get it sorted? I made a typo on my name in my haste to sign up. The profile details page says to contact customer services for change of name. I called and they said I have to fill out a form (which I cannot locate). I called the Sydney number.

          Unfortunately I could barely understand the lady due to her heavy accent.

    • wcm8382 on 28/10/2013 - 20:47

    Thanks OP! So how do we get the card?

    • LDS on 27/10/2013 - 00:01

      you only get it after your fisrt stay (and given them your loyalty card number when you stay)

  • smileplease on 26/10/2013 - 23:53

    Thank you, signed up

  • Baghern on 27/10/2013 - 00:01

    Do you have to book direct with their hotels thereby paying retail/premium prices, in order to obtain the benefits.

    I'd imagine most of us book through wotif or expedia?

    • LDS on 27/10/2013 - 00:03
      +1

      yes. but not the points. they come with the amount of money you spent on your stay

    • Chewman on 27/10/2013 - 00:07
      +3

      if you book through accorhotels.com, you are guaranteed the lowest rate.
      details: http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/garantie/descriptif.shtml
      If you ring an accor group hotel directly, most of them will also honour this at time of booking - but it is up to their discresion.

      • ffysn on 27/10/2013 - 00:25

        fair enough price match :)

      • Jared17 on 27/10/2013 - 00:46

        I wonder if they are willing to price match wotif mystery deals lol

      • B_S_D on 27/10/2013 - 07:18
        +4

        I had a bad experience with Accor and their "price match". I saw a cheaper rate on expedia and phoned their call centre before I booked to check whether they would price match. The lady on the phone said yes but I first have to book through the Accor website and then email them for a refund of the difference.
        That's exactly what I did and then a couple of weeks later I got an email saying I wasn't eligible for price match. I emailed 2-3 times asking why I couldn't get it and never received a response. The room was non-refundable so in the end I paid $90 more for two nights in one room.
        If you google you will see many others who've had similar experiences. Just a warning :)

  • PLANT on 27/10/2013 - 00:03

    What about the guys on here that today said their Plat got cancelled with no points and "FRAUD" email?

    • Baghern on 27/10/2013 - 00:54

      That will be interesting if you've already booked with reduced rate

    • nonpop on 27/10/2013 - 09:36

      You just need to transfer your points out as you go to your airline account. That way no issues if it happens.

  • PLANT on 27/10/2013 - 00:18

    Bugger I joined see what happens
    How do you get cheap rooms?

    • cornholyio on 25/11/2013 - 16:41

      I booked at Mercure today, just search and see the rate. Then enter the accor number and see that the price should reduce by at least $100.
      Hope this helps.

      • Trance N Dance on 26/11/2013 - 19:56

        That's because you're looking at a members only sale. Well was a members only sale. General public should have access to it now.

    Seems you need a new (different) email address, if you already signed up to Accor.

    • BlueDiesel on 27/10/2013 - 00:34

      Seems I somehow lost the few points I already had in my account, as well…..

      • The Champagne Mile on 27/10/2013 - 08:00

        How? If you register with a different email account, thereby creating a second account, the former account should still be in existence with any points previously earned.

        • BlueDiesel on 27/10/2013 - 20:22

          I "re registered" with my old email address, and seem to have whiped existing points??!!!

      you need to stay at one of the higher class hotels e.g. sofitel to get it

      • Franconian on 27/10/2013 - 02:56

        Not anymore. Free Internet, welcome drink, early check in, late check out and room upgrade if available.

    • casval on 27/10/2013 - 00:50

      I stayed at the Pullman this week and got upgraded to a Suite. It was plush. Free late checkout as well. Also a Mercure in Scotland a few months ago and got upgraded too. But that may have been because they stuffed up our booking. Plus double points. From that stay at the mercure, I go enough points to redeem a USD$60 for this pullman stay.

      Also, book through ebates to get 4% back.

    I knew OzBargains would come through. Booked return flights to BKK when the last AirAsia deal came up - $450 return. Was holding off on booking accommodation even though I leave next week.

    Signed up, booked Muse Hotel's second best room for 10 nights, hopefully I get upgraded to a suite. Not worth its own post, but all MGallery branded Accor hotels in Thailand and Vietnam have a triple points deal going on (at least in early November).

    Trying for a price match with Expedia ($200 cheaper). Don't think they'll do it because of the triple points part of the deal, but worth a shot… the points alone is a ~$300 voucher. That's with a total spend of $1600~.

    • Matt P on 27/10/2013 - 13:43

      Same here. They get very aggressive about it.

      I found the platinum status to be a hot waste of time. Stayed in 3 of their hotels in the time frame and all were "ineligible" for benefits. Mostly because they were all in areas where Accor had a monopoly

  • vamo on 27/10/2013 - 09:05

    Got Plat for me and my wife…thanks

  • nonpop on 27/10/2013 - 09:32

    Worked. Platinum again until Oct 2014. Just used a new email address. And Platinum gives double points per stay so more QF points if that is what you are after as well.

    You can also set-up auto-transfer to your airline account. That way if account closed your miles are already safe

  • Sammyboy on 27/10/2013 - 11:14

    Just be mindful, earlier this year I sent an email to merge an old accor card which had been downgraded from platinum to blue, to a new platinum card, which I have managed to do no problems previous years. However this time I got some email back saying the new card was invalid and cancelled due to getting it not legitimately. I called up accor and they said they were cracking down on all these platinum cards that had been obtained via other ways. So if you have points on an old card, might be better just to leave the accounts separate….

    • jskf01 on 27/10/2013 - 12:16

      how do you leave it seperate if all your details are the same bar the email address?

  • frenchfries on 27/10/2013 - 11:16

    is there an expiry date on the card? or does it last you forever?

    • Sammyboy on 27/10/2013 - 11:25

      1 year then it you haven't reached the required stays to maintain, you will drop down to the appropriate level. Which in most cases is blue (lowest) lol

        wow, thats crap haha! what is the required, if you know?

  • Sammyboy on 27/10/2013 - 11:35

    something like 30 days of stay to retain platinum :-) You get the card posted after your first stay. so the first time you check in, just bring the emails with the card number on it and you will get all the upgrade perks. It does work in most of their hotels. From memory I got no benefits from staying at Mercure, except the points. Novotel upgrades were definitely worth it though!

    hey gmailers, i managed to get mine working although the server was a bit tedious. just wanted to remind those of you who used your gmail address last time that you can simply add a . into your gmail and then accor treats it as a brand new address (but the emails will go to the same place).

    so [email protected] becomes [email protected] or something, and away you go!

    Accor Plat is pretty average…but then you achieve that status in a few minutes not 60 stays..I have had plat status for nearly 3 years and as mentioned above use a different email address and you get a Platinum Membership. Lots of hotels within the group in Australia do not participate in the program..eg Sofitel Wentworth Sydney, Sofitel Brisbane, Sofitel Gold Coast etc..Melbourne is very good..they will upgrade you with the free gift and now they even allow you in the Club:-)..Thanks for the post.

    • FreaqyGeeq on 27/10/2013 - 23:35
