Reply To: Accor Gold with Amex Platinum?

Yep, agreed, I couldn’t just let that go last night. The name on the gold status member didn’t show up when I checked in, it was only when another member of staff went “digging” for me he found a different name and promptly voided the account.

Yes, it was made through BA holidays during the Jan sale. When I made the booking the agent did tell me he had arranged a early check in and late checkout which if I had purchased at the hotel without “gold” status it would of been €35 each so 70 euro saved, 4 welcome drinks, a rather large bar of Belgium chocolate and a very high standard of service all round. So I’m not complaining.

This was only ever supposed to be a tier point run to save silver status for another 12 months, but woth the “gold” extrax, along with amex plat dining credit, it’s turned into a little gem of a 36hrs trip.

I’ve though about raising with BA, but I really can’t be bothered as I don’t have any complaints. And would rather not (for previously awarded tier points on reward flight reasons) bring unnecessary attention to mine or my partners BAEC accounts.
