So I received this great email in my inbox this afternoon:
“Get to Gold the easy way
To thank you for being a valued guest, we are giving you the chance to get Gold Status* by booking just five nights in the next three months with any of our brands such as Novotel, Pullman and more. Book your five nights in one stay or over different separate stays.Unlock exclusive benefits that usually require 30 nights’ stay to earn, like Room Upgrades, Guaranteed room availability and Early check-in or late check-out.
Here’s your exclusive Gold status activation code:”
AND the activation code doesn’t work.
🙄
Anyone else had any success or failure with this?
TIA

Indeed it does 😀
Just got this email from Accor HQ (not a case related email):

Seems like they had a few phonecalls/emails!

The originally sent code worked for me this morning, after problems with it yesterday. Upgrade of the account profile page took less than a minute.
Yes, in fairness to them, they sent an update this evening, saying everything is now working and my account is now Gold.
I already have four nights booked which happen to fall during the qualifying period, so I will book one more to complete the challenge 🙂

Are you sure that existing bookings count? Usually they don’t for most promotions.
I’ve had six nights since registering but only two of those nights were new bookings.
Just an update to say I completed the challenge and all went smoothly and without hitch. The app even had a little tracker counting the five nights ☺️

Remarkably it did – I completed the stay I had booked prior and two days later, the app displayed a mini fanfare message to say that I had kept my gold status. I then received an email to this effect a few hours later.
Accor Gold until 31/12/26
Good stuff @Skywalker – the force was with you! There is no certainty when dealing with the fickle beast that is Le Club Accor so happy it worked out.
I am still on the slower slog to Platinum, via the Signature points purchase subscription program, and when this offer came out I have to say I would have been happier to purse this route if I wasn’t already committed.
Hopefully you’ll get good use from it. In my experience and also anecdotally, Accor are pretty good at status recognition as they don’t tend to give it away too lightly.

Hi @Guernsey-Globetrotter 😁 it certainly was! Very cheap Accor bookings too picked up in various sales, so I was pleased it all worked out without too much outlay.

I have already had great use from it. We were upgraded to a very nice room on arrival without even having to ask – a room that we didn’t even want to leave as the AC was fabulous and it was almost on fire outside, it was that hot!

Fingers crossed your slow-slog journey to Platinum will be over soon 🤞
