Conclusion
Good that Accor Live Limitless was able to come up with the status qualification formula promptly when the booking cancellation/refunds took a while and are still unsatisfactory.
ALL here assumes that the shock to the travel would be in effect lost 6 months. We will know in a few months if this is the case or not. It would have been simpler if they had just extended everyone’s status by a year.
