Le Club Accorhotels is about to celebrate their fifth anniversary and are offering quintuple (5X) points for one stay by December 31, 2014, that is booked between January 28 and February 18.
Edit 1: A LoyaltyLobby reader commented that he was not able to register for this offer. It maybe targeted to certain accounts and/or countries. My personal registration went through just fine.
Edit 2: This is an open Le Club Accorhotels promotion that all should be able to participate to.
Note that the bonus is applied to the first eligible stay during the offer period
You can access web page for this offer here. The registration for this offer is required to get the quintuple points.
Remember that only the base points are quintupled under this offer.
This means that at the full service hotels you would get 20% back as a Club member, 22% as a Silver, 23% as a Gold and 24% as a Platinum.
Here are the normal earnings for various Le Club Accorhotels brands (you can read more here).
Conclusion
This is a nice offer for 5X points for a one stay, but you have to be careful to make it “hit” the right stay (expensive).

- The number of bonus points for this offer is calculated based on “Classic” status.

I used the link above and got, “This bonus is not valid.” I live in the USA, am an Accor Platinum.
yeh i got the same error too!
Platinum, Australia. Registration successful
Platinum, Asian account, same here
exactly said that ,too strange
I had the exact same issue. This seems to be an issue related to Safari. I switched to Google Chrome and it worked fine 🙂
Thanks John.. Registered successfully….
What do you mean by “you have to be careful to make it “hit” the right stay”?
I’d think he means the expensive stay. Because you will get 5x points on your 1st stay.
Yep. That’s my point.
Thanks. Registration worked for me. (Platinum/Belgium)
Works fine for gold/plat members. a couple of friends registred
does anyone know how you link this offer to one specific stay during the booking process?
Yeah. You cannot not. It will be the first stay that qualifies per the T&C’s of this promotion.Obviously we all would want it to be rather expensive stay.
Just successfully signed up for the promotion. I’m a Platinum elite from Europe.
Thx, Signed up succesfully. Plat member from Europe.
Worked for me – Platinum member from Europe. Seems to be a pattern developing.
Thanks, John. It worked for me – Platinum Memeber from Europe.
Thanks so much for posting! It worked for me – Platinum Memeber from USA.
John, math question;(… If PT earns normally 8%….how come quintuple is 32%?
Double means 16%, triple 24%, quadruple 32% so quintuple shouldn’t be 40%?
Only the base points will be quintupled (not including elite bonuses).
Thank YOU John. Makes sense
Platinum Australia – worked for my account but not my father’s
Worked for me and for my husband … Platinum member from NY. I cancelled our stays at the Hanoi Sofitel Metropole and will rebook.
platinum.said bonus not valid….(platinum ,usa)… so generous haha
got them !!! you know what i did? i went into my preference tab on le club site and changed my email address and password.then i tried to register and plopp worked…just have to be smarter than the french 🙂
So, do you think this can stack with the triple BA Avios offer thru Mar 31? Ean 5x LeClub points which get converted at 3x normal rate of 0.5 avios per point? So for full service, each euro spent generates 4pts for Platinum x 5X promo x 0.5 Avios conversion x 3X Avios promo = 30 Avios per euro??
Remember that the elite bonus is not going to be quintupled but only the base points.
Does anyone know if you have to re-book your hotel if you already had one booked? I don’t want to cancel and re-book because they aren’t offering my room type I’ve confirmed at the hotel (it’s almost sold out). Would hate to not qualify though
Good question, I have several big stays lined up and don’t want to miss out.
Really cannot help with this one. They may require the stay being booked during these dates or then maybe not. Impossible to tell.
John, could you please answer Aaron’s question i.e. “What do you mean by “you have to be careful to make it “hit” the right stay”?
Obviously you want to get the quintuple points for an expensive stay at Sofitel instead of $30 one at the Ibis.
THIS IS NOT A TARGETED OFFER, IT IS AVAILABLE TO ALL MEMBERS TO CELEBRATE THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE PROGRAM, SO YOU DON’T NEED TO WORRY
Signed up, thanks!! Hope this works 🙂
Hi John, I couldn’t find any hotels (searched several countries/cities/dates) that had any rate option indicating the 5x points. I called Accor to inquire where I could find ‘participating hotels’ and they said ANY hotel participating in LeClub would qualify for the promotion. I specifically called out Dubai UAE and they reiterated *any* Le-Club participating hotel. So I guess we’ve gotta trust them at their word that the 5x points will be applied after the stay (not my preferred option to ‘trust them’).
Yeah. This is 5th anniversary promotion and doesn’t require you to book any other than Le Club Accorhotels point qualifying rate!
will this work through cashback site like topcashback?
It does.
How long did it take to get the confirmation email?
Got it 🙂
They seem to be sending confirmation emails for these promo registration that is a good thing.
it keeps on saying bonus is not valid?
Some others have had problem registering for this promo, as you can see from the comments. This is a public offer open for all. Try changing your email address etc. If it doesn’t work, give them a call.
If i book the rate “stay 3 nights for the price of 2 “, am i qualified to the 5X point?
Absolutely.
This promotion only can get for one night?
I have stayed 5 nights on 1 stay at Mercure Ambassadore Gangnam and only get 5 times points for 1 night.
This is for a STAY. One stay can be up to x-nights (not sure what is the program max with Accor).
