  When is it worth taking the triple Avios vs the Accor credit? 2000 Accor points gets you a 40 euro voucher; I’ve got 3 happy Mondays nights coming up (costing £120 in total) and currently 1100 Accor points from the quiz. Would I be better off taking the Accor points or crediting to Iberia for the triple Avios (which would be around 1050 Avios I imagine based on 140 euros * 7.5, plus the 1100 Accor points I already converting 1:1 into Iberia, is 2150 Avios in total vs a 40 euro Accor voucher)… Any thoughts?

    Euro 40, which is about £33, or 6000 Avios – that’s 0.5p per point, I am a buyer at that level.

    I agree, without this offer, that taking Avios is not a great deal as you are basically paying 2 Eurocents per Avios which is poor.

  Slightly OT – has anyone received the 1000 bonus points for meeting planners?

      Should arrive Nov/Dec I seem to recall.. Hopefully before the 1100 quiz points expire ..

      But probably not…

        Yeah,,that’s what I’m counting down on. Unless I manage to do an Accor stay before Christmas, which is possible. I wonder if that will prolong the life of the points earned in the quiz. Would a car rental prolong the life of the points? Hertz have a 5X points deal just now.

  Would booking a Park Stay and Fly package at the Gatwick Sofitel counts as a ‘stay’? What I mean is would I get triple points on the cost of the package, about £219, or just points on the one night room rate, about £94? I’m booking for a 15 day Park Stay and Fly package that will start on 8th October, so within the booking period of this offer, but which ends after the booking period ends. Would that affect the points I might get, do you think?

  Also, currently booked into the Hampton by Hilton at Gatwick North on a parking package. I’ve never stayed there before, does anyone have an opinion over whether Sofitel or Hamptons is better? Thanks

    Anika reviewed the Hampton if you search.

  I’ve just created a Accor account and logged in but can’t see any ‘earning style’ or similar menu option to switch to airline points and enter my IB details. Am I missing something here?

  “And take advantage of the offer “Three more times” to get Avios x3.”

  …am I reading this correctly as it’s only applicable to 3 stays?

  I’m having trouble with this. It says quite clearly in the T&Cs that the booking must be made ‘only from this offer page’ . On the BA version there is a booking window on the offer page,, but on the Iberia one there isn’t. There’s a ‘more information’ button but that leads to a broken link. Is anyone else having this problem?

  my account had 1100 points from December 2015 but it seems for some reason it has been cancelled.

  while logged in to accor it says “account regularisation” and has debited those 1100 points from quiz. any ideas on what’s going on?

    There was widespread abuse of the promotion and Accor was a bit heavy-handed in its response, closing down many accounts. You can get your a/c reinstated by contacting customer services and asking them nicely (people here have already done this).
