A LoyaltyLobby reader forwarded me an offer that he had received from Accor (you can always forward emails that you receive from programs to me).
Le Club Accorhotels seems to be targeting accounts that haven’t had any activity for a while that will soon have the points expire.
You can access this offer on Accor’s website here.
Note that you need to have a stay within 3 months of signing up for this offer to be eligible for the double points.
The Accor accepted my registration.
And sent also an email to confirm it.
Conclusion
It is interesting that the terms and conditions indicate that this would be a targeted offer, but then lets you register and confirms the registration also by email.
You should be able to combine this with the recent quintuple points offer that I wrote about couple of days ago (read more here).
Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:
1. The general terms and conditions of the Le Club Accorhotels program apply to the “Points X2” offer.
2. This offer enables members of the Le Club Accorhotels Loyalty program to benefit from bonus Le Club Accorhotels points, regardless of their status, on the condition that they were sent the dedicated e-mail, that they sign up for the offer by clicking on the “Sign me up for the offer” button, and that they fill in and confirm the requested information.
3. The bonus points offer is valid for any booking and corresponding stay at one of the 2,700 hotels participating in the Le Club Accorhotels program, within the 3 months preceding the points expiration date provided in the e-mail sent presenting the offer.
4. The points bonus is calculated based on Classic status, not counting points accelerators.
5. To benefit from this offer, the member must book ahead of time on-line (via accorhotels.com or one of our hotel brand web sites) or via our Accor reservation center.
6. Terms of sale apply for specific reserved public rates at each hotel. Prepayment for the entire stay by credit card may be requested. Some bookings (at rates that are subject to conditions) may not be modified or canceled.
7. The member must present his/her loyalty card or member number at the hotel reception desk upon check-in for the stay in question.
8. A booking for several rooms covered by the same member during his/her stay is only counted as one stay.
9. This offer may not be combined with any other offer and does not apply to groups.
10. Points are credited within ten (10) days following the member’s check-out from the hotel.
I received an offer for 5X the points for the next stay in celebration of Le Club’s 5th anniversary. Same target, or?
Le Club’s 5th anniversary is for EVERY member
Yep. You are correct.
Signed up thanks!
They have quite a few overlapping promotions right now. Interesting to see what actually posts.
After my last stay at a Mercure hotel I’ve got the 5x points of the Anniversary promo but not these 2x. For such a poor hotel programme, though, I’m still happy 🙂
Same happened to me. I got the 5x bonus, but was not credited the 2x bonus. Has anyone successfully gotten both (who did not receive the targeted 2x email)?
By the way, I received the 750 bonus points as well. 2 out of 3 is not bad!
Great! It is always a long-shot but worth trying.
Well. It says “This offer may not be combined with any other offer and does not apply to groups” so it might not be possible to combine these two offers (Double points plus Points x 5)?
See the comments below. People have received the 5X and 750 bonus points, but this one apparently doesn’t stack.
Can anyone confirm this bonus actually worked for them? It hasn’t for me yet.
Could be that this specific promo only works for those that were originally targeted for it.
