Accor and BNP Paribas announced last year that they would launch co-branded Visa credit cards first in France in early 2021 and later in other markets in Europe.
The coronavirus delayed the launch that happened this past summer. Accor and BNP Paribas introduced three cards with variable fees and benefits, and one of the card features was not disclosed at the launch.
You can access Accor’s page for these cards here.

When I was checking offer updates on Accor’s website earlier today, I came across previously undisclosed breakfast and F&B credit benefits that these ALL/BNP cardholders have.

Visa Explorer and Ultimate cardholders are eligible for:
– 50 USD/EUR F&B credit
– upgrade to a higher category rooms
– late check out until 3 PM if available
Accor lists Raffles, Fairmont, Sofitel, 21c Museum Hotel, MGallery, Swissôtel, Mövenpick, and Pullman brands.
+ exclusively for Ultimate cardholders:
– Free breakfast for two
The complimentary breakfast for two is available at Raffles, Fairmont, Sofitel, and SO/ brands.
Note that the cheapest ALL – Visa Pulse is excluded from these offers
These benefits are not available in all hotels “NB: French Franchise hotels do not participate.” The eligible stays must be booked using the ALL VISA rate plan and be a minimum of TWO nights.
But the T&Cs (PDF) state:
L’Offre Hotel ALL-VISA n’est pas cumulable avec les tarifs entreprise négociés (corporate), les tarifs collaborateurs Accor, les tarifs groupes ainsi que les tarifs promotionnels au titre des programmes d’abonnement payants Accor (à titre d’illustration, les programmes Accor Plus ou Business Plus) ni avec aucune autre offre promotionnelle.
Google translation:
The ALL-VISA Hotel Offer cannot be combined with the negotiated corporate rates, Accor collaborators, the Tariffs groups as well as the promotional tariffs under the programs accreditation of Accor payers (at the time of illustration, Accor Plus or Business Plus programs) ni with no other promotional offer
The breakfast and hotel credit are not available on ALL rates, but specific ones available only for co-branded credit cardholders.
The rate should come up automatically for eligible cardholders when they book when logged in.
Conclusion
It is amusing that Accor ALL Visa F&B credit and complimentary breakfast for two are not available in the market (France) where the cards are issued.
You also need to consult the list of participating properties (see the PDF below) to see if they participate in both offers. There can be changes in participation in the future.
You need to calculate if you are eligible for this rate if it makes sense to book it instead of the lowest promotional one available.
Here are the T&Cs with participating properties:
What’s the annual fee for these cards?
They are all listed in one of the pieces that I wrote and linked above.
What’s the annual fee for these cards?
Not sure why you are saying the benefit is not available in France…
Many French hotels are listed in the T&C !
Just checked Marseille’s Sofitel and the rate is active and quite interesting for Ultimate (cheaper than Bed&Breakfast). Not too bad during the week or for non-Diamond Ultimate holders (not sure there are many…) during the week-end.
I misread the information that we got.
“: French Franchise hotels do not participate”
Thanks for pointing out. I’ll look into this in few hours .
Be careful though, most of the hotels with the free breakfast and hotel credit are for “plus de 2 nuits” i.e. 3 NIGHTS MINIMUM
Could be a good deal but needs to be carefully looked at
The problem with the list is that likely Accor will not update it. Like the list of lounges. So you can hear in the hotel they don’t participate any more, even though on the list.
Except that, in this case, it’s a rate you book in advance. Either you have it or you don’t…
