==== Validity ====

=== Accor Plus Explorer ===

===== Membership Fees and Benefits =====

It’s important to note that '''not all hotels participate in the Accor Plus program'''. For example, '''Raffles Udaipur in India is not part of Accor Plus''', although it does participate in the ALL – Accor Live Limitless program. This means your '''tier-based benefits from ALL will still apply''', but '''Accor Plus-specific privileges''' may not be available at such properties.

== How to Earn Accor Points? ==
How to earn points? It’s pretty simple. You can earn by staying and paying with cash/card. But hey! We’re the points/miles enthusiasts, that’s not the game we’re inclined to play.

=== Hotel Stays ===
Hotel stays under the ALL – Accor Live Limitless program allow you to earn both '''Status Points''' and '''Reward Points''', with the amount earned depending on your membership tier.

* '''Status Points''' help you progress through the elite tiers, as discussed earlier.
* '''Reward Points''', on the other hand, can be used for redemptions and offer real monetary value during your stays.

Accor follows a straightforward '''earn-or-burn''' model, where you earn points based on your eligible spend and can redeem them just as easily. Points are earned for every '''€10 spent''', and the number of Reward Points you receive varies by status.

Let’s take a look at how much you earn at each tier:

[[File:Screenshot-2023-06-14-at-11.44.46-PM.png|800x800px]]

As illustrated in the table, '''the higher your status tier, the more Reward Points you earn''' for every euro spent. However, it’s worth noting that '''both Reward and Status Points can vary depending on the hotel brand''' within the Accor portfolio.

You’ll earn points not just on your room rate, but also on '''eligible spend''' such as spa treatments, minibar purchases, paid TV services, and food & beverage charges billed to your room.

If calculating your potential points seems a bit overwhelming, Accor makes it easy with a '''dedicated points calculator tool''' available on their official website. With just a few clicks, you can get an accurate estimate of how many points you’ll earn from your stay.

=== Credit Cards Transfer Partners ===
There are no co-branded cards with Accor. Currently. Accor has two transfer partners in India:

===== Axis Bank Credit Cards =====

* Axis Burgundy Private Credit Card, Axis Magnus Burgundy: 5:4
* Axis Reserve, Axis Magnus: 5:2
* Axis Atlas: 1:2 (Edge Miles)
* Axis Olympus: 1:4 (Edge Miles)
* Axis Primus: 1:5 (Edge Miles)
* Axis Horizon: 1:1 (Edge Miles)
* Axis IOCL Premium: 2:1 (Edge Miles)
* Axis Select, Privilege & REWARDS: 10:1
* Other Edge Reward Points Earning Cards: 20:1

===== HDFC Bank Credit Cards =====

* HDFC Infinia, HDFC Diners Club Black, HDFC Diners Club Black Metal: 2:1
* HDFC Regalia Gold: 2:1

===== HSBC Bank Credit Cards =====

* HSBC Premier & HSBC TravelOne: 1:1
* HSBC Visa Platinum: 2:1

===== SBI Credit Card =====

* SBI Miles & Miles Elite: 2:1

=== Airline Transfer Partners ===
Absolutely! Here’s a smooth and engaging rewrite of your content as a continuation oBeyond hotel stays and Accor Plus vouchers, there’s another smart way to boost your Accor points balance: '''transferring from loyalty programs'''. While '''HDFC Bank''' and '''Axis Bank''' are well-known Accor transfer partners, you can also funnel points from select '''airline loyalty programs'''—a great strategy if you have unused miles lying around.

However, not all airline programs offer favorable transfer ratios, especially from India. That said, there are a few options currently available for Indian travellers:

==== 1. Air France–KLM Flying Blue ====

* Transferable from: '''Axis Bank , HDFC Bank''' , '''HSBC''' , '''SBI'''
* Conversion Rate: '''4,000 Flying Blue Miles = 1,000 Accor Points''' (4:1 ratio)
* Best used if you already have Flying Blue miles and no short-term use for them.

==== 2. Qatar Airways Privilege Club (Avios) ====

* Transferable from: '''Axis Bank''' , '''AMEX''' , '''HSBC''' , '''SBI'''
* Conversion Rate: '''4,500 Avios = 1,000 Accor Points''' (4.5:1 ratio)
* Not the most efficient, but useful if you have surplus Avios and immediate Accor plans.

==== 3. Finnair Plus ====

* Transferable from: '''HDFC Bank'''
* Conversion Rate: '''3,500 Finnair Points = 500 Accor Points''' (7:1 ratio)
* Least favourable among the lot, but still an option if your Finnair points are near expiry or unused.

==== 4. Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer ====

* Transferable from: '''HDFC Ban'''k, '''Axis Bank, SBI, AMEX, HSBC'''
* Conversion Rate: '''4,500 KrisFlyer Miles = 1,500 Accor Points''' (3:1 ratio)
* While the ratio is slightly better, '''KrisFlyer miles have a hard 3-year expiry''', so consider this only if:
** You have miles close to expiration
** There’s an ongoing '''bonus transfer promotion''', or
** You don’t plan to redeem for flights anytime soon

Let’s be honest—'''these transfer ratios aren’t the most rewarding''', and using miles for hotel points isn’t always the best value. But in cases where:

* You’ve got orphaned miles across programs,
* No immediate plans for flight redemptions,
* Or need a quick top-up for an upcoming Accor stay—

'''these transfers can be a lifesaver''' and help reduce your out-of-pocket cost.

At the end of the day, having '''multiple options to earn and transfer''' is part of what makes ALL – Accor Live Limitless so flexible and traveler-friendly.

== How to Burn Accor Points? ==
Accor has a great valuation per point. The approximate value is '''1 Accor pt = ~ INR 1.9.''' All the Participating Accor Hotels will let you redeem your points at a denomination of '''40 EUR = 2,000 points'''. So in a multiple of 2,000 points, you can redeem it. Some hotels have also allowed you to redeem at '''20 EUR = 1,000 points'''.

=== Burn For Hotel Stay ===
The property which allows you to burn points can easily be identified with “All Points” written at the bottom right corner of their property’s name as suggested below in the screenshot.

'''To burn the Accor points few things to be kept in mind:'''

* Only pay at the hotel or the “pay with pts” option can be utilized to use your points, online payments may or may not allow you to use points, if they allow, you can use points, and pay the rest with your desired payment method.
* Though as per T&C you can settle the total bill with the points, a few hotels do not let you settle select components of the bill with points even the tax. For example, Pullman Delhi will not allow you to pay tax with points that need to be settled with a card or cash. So if you’re planning for redemption, check with the hotel if they’re allowing the same.
=== Burn For Meal ===
You can use ALL Accor Points to settle your Food and Beverage bill by charging it to your room during your stay at the property, redeeming points at a flat rate of 1,000 ALL Accor Points for 20 EUR.

If you’re not staying at the property, you can still pay for meals at the restaurant or bar using points, but the value is reduced to 1,000 ALL Accor Points for 10 EUR. This is not the most recommended use of points, as it only gives you half their usual value.

=== Burn for Airmiles ===
There are 30 Airline partners to which you can transfer your Accor Points. Note that, not all the time you’ll get a bang on value, so check and only transfer when needed. The Airlines are listed below

* Aegean Olympic Air
* Aero Mexico Club Premier
* Air Canada Aeroplan
* Air China Phoenix Miles
* Air France/KLM Flying Blue
* Avianca Lifemiles
* Azul ToduAzul
* British Airways Executive Club
* Cathay Pacific Asia Miles
* Delta SkyMiles
* Emirates Skywards
* Etihad Guest
* Finnair Plus
* Hainan Airlines Fortune Wings Club
* Iberia Plus
* Japan Airlines JAL Mileage Clb

* Qantas Frequent Flyer
* Qatar Airways Privilege Club
* Smiles
* Singapore Airlines Krisflyer
* TAP Portugal Miles & Go
* Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus
* Turkish Airlines Miles& Smiles
* United Airlines MileagePlus
* Virgin Australia Velocity

Not all airlines will give great value, so let’s check which one you should keep your eyes on:

* Qantas: 2,000 Accor points = 2,000 Qantas points
* Iberia: 3,000 Accor points= 3,000 Iberia Avios
* Delta: 4,000 Accor points = 2,000 Delta miles
* ITA: 4,000 Accor points = 5,000 Volare miles

=== Events ===
Accor often lists many more events to redeem from. It varies from sports, travel, culinary, converts, etc. You can always browse through them. Some major cities in India have already seen such events. You need to keep an eye on them. 

=== ALL Meeting Planner ===
Burning these points for events has separate value. You can only consume these points at max 15% of your total bill amount (excluding tax) or 1,500 EUR whichever is lower. 

There’s no blackout day for using these points so you can feel free to use them anywhere. These points don’t have any expiry.

== Validity ==
Please do note that Accor Points’ Validity Stays/ Depends on the following:

* 365 days from the last check-out day.
* 365 days from the last point earning/burning day.
* 365 days from the last point conversion day.
== Sweet Spots ==
Now you all must be waiting for the sweet spots, aren’t you? So here it is. For a disclaimer, these sweet spots do exist officially, they’re not loopholes that can be exploited, but these are lesser-known “facts” that haven’t been much discussed:

* The free stay night can be availed at a valuation of at least INR 20,000 easily. In India, '''Sofitel''' which is the third most expensive property after Raffles and Fairmont, is an option. The tariff goes at INR 15,000-20,000. For worldwide, many Sofitel, Fairmont does give this “stay plus” redemption.
* With Axis Reserve‘s Accor Plus membership, you do get two complimentary nights, but one '''drawback, you cannot use them together for a consecutive stay at the same property'''. Even if you make two separate reservations, it’ll not work out.
* Those who don’t want to spend a lot of money and want the maximum out of the points’ valuation can choose '''“pay at the hotel”''' and settle the bill with points. What difference does it make that booking with points already? Big difference! '''You’ll earn status points''' which will advance you through the Elite Tiers.
* The hotels which give “stay plus” nights, often use the base two-category room for redemption, but you can always redeem it for higher-category rooms. Select it to avail and pay the difference with points/cash/card.
* You can reach Accor Gold in a single go in two ways. i) Buy an ALL Plus Voyageur card for EUR 199  ii) Buy at least a share of Accor Hotels through Europe’s Stock Exchange iii) Alternatively, take limited-time status challenges
* You can get to Accor Platinum with AccorPlus China and Accor Absolute Brazilian membership. But both will require more spending and more nights of stay. Though AccorPlsu India and AccorPlus Absolute can be stacked together to qualify 60 nights for Platinum tier.
