The public links for instant Le Club Accorhotels Platinum status come and go. Even if you have no use for Le Club Accorhotels Platinum status, you can always use it to status match to i.e. Club Carlson or Priority Club Platinum status. Once this public link no longer works, I have the private Platinum status sign up link by request available.
Edit: This offer has now expired. You can still request a private sign up link by following the instructions here.
You can sign up for the instant Le Club Accorhotels Platinum status by clicking the picture above. Please note that you need to sign up using an email address that has not been previously associated with Le Club Accorhotels or A Club. If you get an error message that the promotional code is no longer valid, this offer has then expired.
Don’t forget to collect cash back for all your Accor hotel bookings. You can read more about collecting cash back for all of your Accor bookings here.
Accor has changed the sign up process for these instant Platinum statuses. Now, you won’t get the actual card after you have had your first stay. This makes sense. There is no need to present the actual car at the property, as the status information should transfer automatically.
Conclusion
Once this public link is dead, you can always do the request for the non-public link that I have outlined here.

I called Priority Club for a status match today (with Accor) and the told me they don’t do that anymore…
Did you mention A Club? Accor has never been listed on their internal memo, but rather A Club? If this has changed, you can always match to Club Carlson Gold and then match it to IHG Rewards Club Platinum.
I got in on this a few months ago but havent stayed at any Accor Hotels yet. Am staying at 2 in Amsterdam and Berlin in January tho 🙂
Was only granted classic status with link
Because you signed up with an email address that has previously been on file with Accor.
So since I got my Platinum card, I booked upcoming stays at Mercure Moscow and Sofitel Philadelphia, and I might book Sofitel Washington DC as well.
What are my chances of an upgrade to a better room if I ask it?
At the Sofitel hotels, the upgrade should be significant, but as with other chains some hotels are better than others. Make sure that they have your Platinum number on file for preupgrade before you checking in. You should ask if they have upgraded you based on your Le Club Accorhotels status and if not request one.
I just signed up to the Accor Platinum (thanks John). I opened a new account from my existing one.
Are IHG likely to status match though given the points balance of the new Accor Platinum account is zero?
Doesn’t matter, but there was a report from the past week or so that they would have stopped matched Accor, but I have not yet verified it.
I signed up for the Accor Platinum. However, I have made a reservation before I got the platinum card, using a different email and a card with Classic status. My name and address are the same on both accounts. Would they switch my Le Club Accohotels card number on the existing reservation so I can get the Platinum benefits? I booked a non-refundable rate so I can’t cancel and re-book using the new card number.
Call the hotel directly and request them to update your Le Club Accorhotels number on file. Don’t do this via central reservations or Le Club Accorhotels customer service.
Hi

Hi,
I just received a message from IHG and it seems that IHG are not matching Le Club Accorhotels platinum status (maybe Le Club is offering too much free platinum membership for sign up.
