Get 4x Accor Live Limitless points at new hotels, including two luxury London options

Accor Live Limitless runs a regular promotion where you can get quadruple points on stays at new hotels – or hotels which are new to the loyalty programme.

For anyone looking for a high-end London stay, there are two interesting options. The Sanderson (website here) and St Martin’s Lane Hotel (website here) have both joined Accor Live Limitless as part of the Morgans Originals brand.

You will get 4x base points if you:

• register in advance by clicking here
• book either of these hotels by 9th June
• complete your stay by 28th July

There is no minimum stay requirement but you can only earn the bonus once in total, not once per hotel.

You must register in advance before booking via this page of the Accor website.

The 4x offer is also valid at other new hotels including, in the UK:

• Mercure Telford Centre
• Mercure Birmingham West
• Mercure Cardiff North
• Mercure Nottingham Sherwood
• Mercure Bedford Centre
• ibis Coleraine Riverside

In terms of the maths:

• You earn 2.5 Accor base points per €1
• You earn 7.5 additional Accor points per €1 as your promo bonus

The rate is lower at Ibis, at 1.25 points per €1.

This is a total of 10 Accor points per €1 equivalent you spend, plus any status bonus you are due.  This is worth 20 Eurocents if used for Accor hotel vouchers – so 20% back on your pre-tax spending – or 10 Avios per €1. Anyone with elite status will do even better.

To receive Avios, you need to convert your Accor points at 1:1 into Iberia Plus Avios (minimum 3,000 conversion) and later move them to British Airways Executive Club Avios via ‘Combine My Avios’.

Remember to register here before booking.

PS. Remember that you can now earn Avios on every Accor stay, ON TOP of your Accor points. You need to open a Qatar Airways Privilege Club account and link it to your Accor Live Limitless account following the instructions here. The Avios will automatically appear in your Qatar Airways account about a week after your stay and you can then move them to British Airways Executive Club.
