When Accor launched Accor Live Limitless (ALL), there were quite a few hotels and brands that were not loyalty program participating, but the number has gradually come down.
All ibis budget hotels used to be non-ALL participating, but slowly they have become part of ALL in select countries where members can earn elite qualifying nights and points.

When Accor launched a promotion for quadruple points for ALL members at select properties yesterday, I noted that there were quite a few ibis budget hotels that, per the T&Cs, are not ALL participating.
Accor ALL Quadruple (4X) Points At Select Hotels Through July 5, 2021 (Book By May 21)
I have now confirmed with Accor that these select hotels have become, but other ibis budget hotels in Australia have not. They do qualify for quadruple points per the promotion above.
The following ibis Budget in Australia are now ALL participating:
Brisbane
- ibis budget Brisbane Airport
Campbelltown
- ibis budget Campbelltown
Canberra
- ibis budget Canberra
Casula
- ibis budget Casula Liverpool
Coffs Harbour
- ibis budget Coffs Harbour
Dandenong
- ibis budget Dandenong
Duddo
- ibis budget Duddo
Fawkner
- ibis budget Fawkner
Newcastle
- ibis budget Newcastle
Sydney
- ibis budget Enfield
- ibis budget St Peters
- ibis budget Sydney Olympic Park
Wentworthville
- ibis budget Wentworthville
Remember that you warn very few points for stays at ibis budget hotels: They are better, however, when qualifying using nights.
ibis budget hotels earn 1% back in ALL points. They are lumped together with Adagio Access, Joe&Joe & Greet.
You also earn double nights and points until the end of 2021:
Accor ALL members earn both double nights and elite qualifying points for the entire 2021.
Accor ALL Double Status Points & Nights For Entire 2021
ALL Excluded hotels (access here)
Accor has not included ibis budget hotels in Australia for participating. Per the list above, they do not, but we have confirmed that these select do.
Conclusion
I am glad that Accor is slowly bringing down the number of properties that are not ALL participating. Hopefully, they soon update the exclusion list to exclude these select ibis budget hotels in Australia that are indeed ALL participating.
You only earn 1%% of the cash used back in points but help those who qualify based on nights rather than money.
What is the criteria? Why not opening up for all Ibis Budget units but select some only??
Surprised? Don’t be, that’s Accor, a bed of hypocrisy and incongruences!

Probably part of their franchise agreements. When they are for renew, the hotel must decide whether to stay affiliated with Accor or not.
This used to be a problem long time ago with Le Meridien and Starwood. They slowly all became SPG participating or left

Great tip John will give this a try shortly on a mattress run.

The Vier Jahreszeiten in Hamburg isn’t participating? Pathetic, why not? Don’t they want to offer a free drinks voucher? That’s the only benefit of Accor tiers isn’t it? 🙂
Got my first Ibis Budget posting this morning. I had to request a missing stay from Accor but they sorted it out in 24 hours after my request put in. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a2563f2124ffe17cd2e8f08852764b157783cde1d157d064f08a2bb716c789f7.jpg
