Le Club Accorhotels is changing from 2017.
What we know so far:
Membership year:
- the membership year will change to calendar year, i.e. 1 January - 31 December
- any status achieved in 2016 will be carried forward until 31 December 2017
Points:
- there will be a distinction between reward points and the new status points
- status points can only be earned through hotel stays and related expenditure
- status points are not subject to the accelerator and will be earned at a rate of 25 points/ 10 Euro in most cases (12.5 in case of ibis and ibis styles, 10 Adagio and 5 at Adagio Access)
- Points remain valid for life, if an eligible stay is realized in the past 12 months (rolling year)
Status thresholds:
- to account for the lower earning rates of status points threshold for status have been lowered: 2,000 for silver, 7,000 for gold and 14,000 for platinum
- night requirements remain unchanged
- status is dependent on status points or nights, not both
Perks:
- no change
Redemptions:
- no change
The official website: http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/leclub/new-rules-status.shtml Accorhotels have announced that an official communication to all members will issue around 7 April.
Issues still to be resolved:
- Accor Plus membership

It's the same for me, and my renewal was at the end of Jan. I kept using the expired one and no hotel has mentioned anything about it yet, to the point where I've forgotten about the new card until I read this post.

Not at all sure why this would be unless it is actually running parallel alongside the number of nights I have within the yearly period which states 66 which will then be altered accordingly at the end of this month 05 = May Has everyone's status been upgraded to the end of 2017 then ?

I do not know why they have to show number of stays as this number not important at all.

My current A+ and Platinum will end of 30-Sep-2016. However, I got 3025 from 1-Aug-2015 to 3-Sep-2015.
My question if I earn 25,000 points by 31-Jul-2016, will I be requalified as Platinum?
If I have to continue 1-Oct-2015 to 20-Sep-2016, I will have to waste my 3025 points.
Any idea?
