Just noticed buried at the foot of a promo email, after all the usual PSG guff, that Accor are running the following offer:
“Be 20% happier this autumn!
From 4th – 18th September, you’ll get a 20% discount when you sign up for the ALL PLUS Voyageur card with the promo code ALLPLUSPROMO24”Usual fee is £169 (€199) so this should translate to a cost of £135, a saving of £34. Not too shabby if you thought the card would work for you.
The only real caveat is that Accor’s headline of ‘20% discount’ is pretty disingenuous, given that this is priced off the best public flex rate and you automatically get 10% off this rate as a member anyway, so your net gain with the Plus Card is really only 10% max…
You’ll be ahead if you are spending more than £1,350 at Accor higher end properties in the year and you also receive the other benefits of Silver status (a welcome drink with every stay, late check-out etc.).
Does this come with free nights? Or is that another version?
Oh, that’s a nice offer, thanks for posting.
Last week, I just renewed the other card “All Plus Ibis” at the regular 99 EUR price, but with the promise of 20 EUR worth of bonus points on my next stay. It was ambiguous as to whether the next stay has to be in an Ibis or any Accor branded hotel.
If I had known this offer was going to come up then I would have gone for that instead.The All Plus Voyageur card comes with 20 status nights.
Yeah, I saw it in the email too. And wondered about it.
I bought Ibis business on the old deal 2 years ago. Got instant Gold.
Then through spend, I hit Platinum last year.I’ve only stayed 17 nights this year. But expect to renew platinum again on the basis of status points (which are based on total spend including bar and restaurant).
So 20 status nights would make no difference to me. But where can we find out what they call “midscale/economy” vs “luxury/premium”?
These days I stay the most at Tribe in Canary Wharf and Sofitel T5. But Novotel and Mercure are much more available across Europe…
EDIT: Found this – https://group.accor.com/en/brands
So Sofitel is Luxury (I’ve stayed in St James, T5 and Washington DC – I would say luxury varies massively between them!) and Pullman is premium (which the St Pancras one is often overpriced – but it has a lovely bar, good staff and spacious rooms in a well connected part of town)
Not sure if it’s worth it.
For maths – average night at T5 has been about £180, Pullman has been around £250.
So £135 would need MINIMUM 6 nights at Pullman or 8 at Sofitel before it starts paying for itself.On the other hand if you don’t currently have status and would use T5 before flying – probably well worth it. The other thing to bear in mind is that at Platinum – T5 has a private lounge with a free happy hour from 1800-2000 daily and I ALWAYS get two room category upgrades there.
There’s a thing about a few more points credited on stays, if you book them on the app for a period.
