Reward points on booking with points

[Ksunnylove]

Hello, do we earn reward and status points in accor if booking is done using points ?

not most of the time. Pay 80% with points, 20% out of pocket

yes, that is why I said. Very hit and miss when you book everything with points.

pay atleast 10% with cash so that you get the points & reward night counted.. IF u r paying fully with points then use some service in the hotel when u stay and pay that through cash to earn the nights

I booked lowest price and paid almost fully with Accor points.
There was a small cash component less than 2000.
and I still got the status nights credited but no status points

At the time of check in, kindly confirm with the Hotel manager or reception that you will get status nights

booking a non refundable room and the amount left after choosing point is 1900 something,Should I pay it by card or call customer care to fully pay by points? paying that by card gives status night benefit or some other benefits?

FYI, the rooms are a bit small if that works for you

Phone customer care to pay fully with points.
You will anyway get status nights, but not status points

U will get nights if the hotel doesnt give just email Accor it will be done. The points part is hit or miss i didn’t get any for last 2 stays, but it was a small cash component. It was international stay so I couldn’t take a chance. So many things keep happening.. account hacked, accounts blocked etc. better for peace of mind pay the points and reduce bill so only minimal cash component left

thanks for the suggestion,will call and ask them to book fully by points

I booked Ibis budget and Ibis Styles both non refundable using the maximum points allowed and paid the balance less than 1800 by credit card in advance

After I checked out I got status nights but I did not get any status points, why?

Now a little confused, status points takes us to the next tier or some other benefits too? same thing status night does too right?

Yes. For eg, From silver to gold, either earn 30 nights or 7000 status points.
Both will reset to 0 on calendar year end

Its a hit and miss
Ibis aerocity I didn't get points even when I settled 500₹ something with cash.

But Novotel Kochi, I settled everything with points on hotel (zero cash).
I got status points, reward points and nights.

Rest all places I visited (excluding ibis) I got both SP, RP and nights. All the time I settled at hotel with points with little cash balance.

Novotel Aerocity
Mecure Singapore
Swissotel Singapore

Not sure if it is based on property or how the receptionist settle the bill.

Anyone got points for ibis properties in india?

In the app, go to account tab scroll down to accelerators and unlink existing partner and link new one.

Update: Only stays outside country of residence get counted for these(only checked with qatar airways). Check for other partners too.
Even though it is mentioned outside stays, I got avios points for local stays

You will get reward points if you do settlement at the hotel.
NB: Points settlement at property especially on international locations can get trickier if your account get blocked.
Accor blocks accounts sometimes if you access them through public wifis etc
