This promotion has now ended (early) due to a bigger than expected response. Make sure you follow us on Twitter so you don’t miss out on deals like this in the future.
The Offer
- Accor has launched ‘Rewards Quest’ where you can earn free points by completing different actions. There are three actions that are only available to classic members (no status) and two actions with those with status. Either way you can earn a maximum of 1,100 Accor points.
The Fine Print
- Full long fine print can be found here
- Valid until February 14th, 2016
- Points will post within two hours of completing the activity (mine posted instantly)
Our Verdict
Accor points can be applied to your bookings to reduce the cost of a room rate, 2,000 points = €40 discount, which would make this promo worth €20 (~$22). You can also transfer to a lot of airline partners, but the rate is 2:1 and you need a minimum of 4,000 Accor points. I couldn’t find anything that could be redeemed for 1,000 points, but I didn’t look very hard either so I’m sure there is something.
Given that Accor has announced that they will acquire the Fairmont, Raffles & Swisstel chains, now is probably a good time to learn a little bit more about their award program. Unfortunately points expire after one year if you don’t have at least one eligible stay.

Just went now, it’s finished or dead.
Thanks, updating post now.
I don’t know if it’s still possible to set up automatic transfers of Accor Le Club points (or if you need to have status — I have leftover Silver status right now) but when I got the 1050 points for doing the Quest Rewards thing (somehow the last 50 didn’t post) they automatically transferred to Iberia Avios. So 1050 free Avios, not bad! Thanks for posting.
Nice, didn’t know this was possible. Did you get the 1:1 rate as well?
