Accor ALL made a bunch of status-related announcements on May 19, 2020 (read more here) that also extended any expiring points (from that date) through December 15 this year.
The policy, however, didn’t deal with points that had expired earlier in 2020, but they have now come up with a program that allows members to reinstate points lost January 1 – May 18.
You can access Accor’s page for this offer here.
