  Will these points post with a hotels.com booking. Normally i get 0 if booking via hotels.com

  • Brian says:

    No. As usual with third-party bookings, there will be no points.

  This is great (if it works for me) as I am due to stay in various Ibis’s over the next few months, however what I do not quite get is how you can “register” in your account to get Avios. From what I can see you can only pick the reward when you transfer the points and the way I read the info above you need to be pre registered to get the bonus….

  It might be to early for me to see the obvious 🙁

    No, you can set your account to automatically give you Avios instead of points – the option is there, hidden away somewhere on the website

      Ah. I have that option selected – does this mean I will not benefit from the eur160 promotion?

      • James67 says:

        And vice versa. I don’t have that option activated but I’m wondering if activating it after 3 stays would overide the 160 promo and then let me collect 2500 avios per night. Any thoughts?

        I found ‘Convert your points automatically with the partner of your choice’ but that is once you have enough points too convert. I asume i need something different which i can’t find.
        I’ve also recieved my 1000 and 3000 bonus points and am waiting for my 4000 before i change the setting incase it doesnt give me the 4000 points

          I’ve struggled with this one, too, on Accor promotions. Perhaps I’m being a bit thick, but the only option I can see for Avios is:

          “Activate automatic points conversion and transfer your points to a single parter systematically. This option will take effect as soon as you have accumulated the required number of points.”

          With this promotion will the above ‘rule’ be ignored and the 2500 Avios be awarded without having to acquire the points first?

  I wonder if this includes IBIS budget, on a random Friday in November you can get a room in Beaconsfield for £26. A stopover for someone with a Heathrow flight maybe. Not too far from the designer outlet (where you can also collect Avios ). To be fair it’s attached to a newish set of services just off the M40 so not exactly a romantic option!

    I don’t think Ibis Budget participate in Le Club.

    Zoe – i live on top of an “outlet” 🙂 What is the Avios offer you mention?

    • Zoe says:

      You can collect Avios at Bicester, visit customer services with receipt and Avios number or just email copies of reciepts afterwards

  • Brian says:

    If it’s a Friday, you should be able to get rooms using the Happy Mondays rate – so 40GBP for hotels outside London (25GBP for Ibis).

  Did anyone get the 1,500 Avios from this promotion?

  I’ve had nothing yet.

    Don’t know about that, but I apparently got 7000 bonus points from a 3-night cheap stay at Pullman Brussels. I have no idea why, but I am glad I sign up for anything going!

      I stay in the Pullman Brussels every week for business travel. They often have random bonuses, which always catch me by surprise. My record is 5,000 Accor points (worth 5,000 Iberia Avios) for a one night stay. I think that was some combination of an (unknown) offer, 500 point bonus in the room rate, and double-bonus for Platinum card holder. Not a bad return for a 8-hour stop off, and there are direct trains to/from the airport for under €10. The breakfast isn’t bad either, although I wish they turned the sauna on the mornings (not just the afternoons).

  I just booked a stay at the end of November. I used 6000 Le Club points to reduce the bill by €120, leaving €18 to pay. Any idea if this stay would trigger the 2,500 Avios? Little to lose by trying

  Remember that on a Monday & Tuesday they sell rooms for the following weekend from £25/nt.

  • CV3V says:

    you need to use the promo code MONDAY

    the website for the promo no longer seems to work

    • Brian says:

      9 Oct9 October 09:53

      It was working for me this Monday past…

      • CV says:

        9 Oct9 October 21:14

        oh well perhaps its my browser, if so promo code works

• Max says:

  9 Oct9 October 09:04

  Oh, I booked in September for a stay in December. The rate is nonrefundable. Will I be able to earn this 2500 avios promotion?

• Alba says:

  Has anyone managed to find out how to set up the automatic transfer? I’ve been looking this morning to no avail. I have 10 weeks of Ibis stays coming up so I’m really glad this offer has been announced! 🙂

  • Alba says:

    And – like a fool – I’ve been staring straight at the option! You first log in and go to https://secure.accorhotels.com/gb/profil/rewards.shtml – then on the bottom right of the page there is a “Convert your points automatically with the partner of your choice” option.

    Hope this helps someone else!
