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.
