Get triple Accor points on your next two hotel stays – and a 20% bonus on gift cards

If you are an Accor Live Limitless member, there is an attractive ‘triple points’ offer for bookings made over the Black Friday weekend.

You can also get a 20% bonus when you buy Accor gift cards.

Combine these two offers and you’ve got a good deal.

Earn triple Accor Live Limitless points

Take a look here for details of this offer, as well as the registration link.

Remember that Accor brands include ibis, Novotel, Sofitel, Mercure, MGallery, Raffles, Fairmont, Swissotel, Pullman etc.

As usual with Accor offers, it is a bit of a faff:

• you need to register in advance of booking via this page of the Accor site (stays booked before registration do not count)
• you must book your stay by Monday 27th November
• you must book for at least two nights
• you must stay between 12th December 2023 and 28th February 2024
• you will earn triple base points on up to two stays during the promo period

The offer is valid at Accor hotels in Europe and North Africa only.

What are triple Accor points worth?

Our article on what we think Accor Live Limitless points are worth is here.

1 point is worth 2 Eurocents off your next booking, although you need to redeem in chunks of 2,000 points.

The standard earn rate at most brands is 2.5 points per €1. Triple base points means 7.5 points per €1. This means 15 Eurocents of free stays for every €1 you spend, pre-tax, which is a decent return. Anyone with elite status will earn even more.

You can also transfer your Accor points to Avios although you lose value compared to using them for a discount on a future stay.

You can find out more, and register for triple points, here.

And …. get a 20% bonus when you buy an Accor gift card

Accor is also running a special Black Friday promotion on its UK gift cards.

Via this page of the Accor website, you can purchase gift cards from £50 to £250 and get an extra 20% loaded on top.

The offer runs until Monday.

The gift cards are only valid at participating hotels in Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Poland, United Kingdom and Switzerland. That said, the value will be reduced outside the UK because the hotel is likely to use a poor exchange rate when you redeem.

Note that the gift cards cannot be used on the Accor website, which means that you won’t be able to benefit from any cheaper pre-paid rates. If you tend to book flexible rates, however, it is a genuine saving.

You can use the gift card towards food, drink and other room charges on a pre-paid stay, of course.

You can stack this offer with the triple points deal above.

Let’s assume that, as an Accor Platinum member, I book a £300 ‘pay on departure’ UK stay. I can pay for this with a £250 gift card, giving me an immediate saving of £50.

As a Platinum member I would get 7.5 base points per €1 via ‘triple points’ plus an extra 1.875 on top as a status bonus. This is a total of 9.375 points per €1, or 18.75 Eurocents per €1.

18.75% of (£300 – 20% VAT) £250 which is another £46.88, albeit received in Accor points to use on a future stay. I’ve got a £96.88 discount on my £300 stay by combining the two deals.
