Close to obtaining Silver Status prior to the end of the year

[FearlessTraveller]

I have a booking for the 27th of December until the 3rd of january – and I’m 4 nights away from obtaining Silver Status.

Assuming the Status nights will reset on 1 Jan, will still be able to get silver Status before the end of the year, or are the nights only credited after checking out of the Hotel?

Also,if I were to stay some additional nights, will those cocount towards obtaining Gold Status? Because I extended my stay twice at the beginning of the year, but the hotel never credited those nights on my account

After check out.
But is Silver even worth anything?

I would not chase 4 nights. It’s much cheaper to buy a single Accor share and get gold status through the share rewards programme they have. You can also status match with Qatar now.

Interesting. How does the share rewards programme work?

Silver with Accor really isn’t much at all. A couple of free drinks and not much else.

If you are hellbent on spending money with them however, you can actually buy gold status via Ibis.

From memory they’re not too bothered about what type of business.

I’ve just “bought” the Ibis card and showing Gold status almost instantly.
I run a limited company. But no questions were asked during the application.

I’m actually wondering if I can parlay it into Silver with Qatar as suggested by some random corners of the internet.
