Using 2 stay plus nights in one trip

[msankadi]

I'm an Accor Plus Gold member planning a 4 to 5-night trip to Thailand or Bali at the end of August, and I need some advice on the best way to utilize my two complimentary "Stay Plus" nights.

I'm hoping to maximize my chances of getting a room upgrade (a perk of my Gold status) and minimize the hassle of switching rooms or dealing with complex bookings.

I've heard that you can't use multiple Stay Plus nights consecutively in a single stay, so I'm trying to figure out the best booking strategy.

Here are my questions:

1. Stay Plus Restrictions: What are the key restrictions for using the Stay Plus nights? (e.g., blackout dates, specific booking requirements).
2. Booking Strategy for Upgrades: Considering a 4-night stay, which of the following options is most likely to secure me a room upgrade and provide the smoothest experience?

Option 1: Splitting the Stay Completely

• Booking 1: Nights 1 & 2 (Standard Accor booking)
• Booking 2: Night 3 (Stay Plus night #1)
• Booking 3: Night 4 (Stay Plus night #2)

Option 2: Mixing Stay Plus with Paid Nights

• Booking 1: Night 1 (Paid) + Night 2 (Stay Plus night #1)
• Booking 2: Night 3 (Paid) + Night 4 (Stay Plus night #2)

Does anyone have experience using Stay Plus nights with Accor Plus Gold status? Any tips on how to best structure these bookings for an upgrade and a seamless stay are greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Option 2 is the way forward.

TIP: On night 1/ night 2, use stay plus on the day when the room price is maximum.
