Le Club Accorhotels - Amex Plat = Le Club Plat (but in 3-4 weeks)

Hi ,

Just in case any fellow Amex Plat card holders in the UK are new members of this scheme, which came online as a new benefit on the 16th July.

Once you enrol on line, it is estimated that your status will not change to Plat with LeClub until after 3-4 weeks.

Whilst this is quicker than SPG or HHonours, its not much help if you have an upcoming Accor stay (like I do on Monday).

Amex travel concierge did speak to LeClub on my behalf to see if the status could be changed quicker but the answer was a resounding "non."

Cheers

I enrolled online on the morning of Monday 16th, through the Amex Plat website, supplying my existing LeClub membership number. I got an email a few minutes ago from Accor welcoming me as a Platinum member, and logging into the website it shows my status as "Le Club Accorhotels Loyalty Platinum" :)

So, just under 2 weeks for me, guess it depends how quickly you got your application in when yours will turn up... Fingers crossed it's under 4 weeks!

Just got same email ! Must be doing it in batches - took about a week!!

I didn't have an existing Accor account so used the link on the Amex website to sign up for one. Instant Platinum.

UK only? No luck for us stateside?

I just stated in the Amex forum that my upgrade to Accor Plat took about a week or so. Not bad.

It appears on the benfits website in Australia as well. Never actually been informed of the benefit, but it is listed..

There is a findable link on the internet for a direct Accor Club platinum level for new accounts if you are an Amex Plat holder (including U.S.)
edit: -> the link has now expired

Turns out, the registration via link does not actually verify you are an Amex Plat holder.
Which is a ^ or :td: depending on how you feel as an Amex Plat holder.

Waiting on StarFlyerGold feedback before posting further....;)

Here is what Priority Club have done when "unauthorised" movements showed up on accounts: they have closed them! http://boardingarea.com/blogs/viewfromthewing/2012/08/13/priority-club-shopping-toolbar-a-glitch-i-decided-not-to-write-about/ Just saying.....@:-)

Works also with French Amex Plat (we got also Club Carlson Gold as a new perk).

The given promotion code is not usable anymore


Gah :(

I called amex who had no idea what I was talking about.

Accor call center agent said to create a regular account and scan my card / screenshot the login and send it through my Accor account to them.

Anyone know a working link?

Here in Canada it's more 3-4 months than "3-4 weeks"...

Yikes! Did you email them through the members area?

That's what I did, and no reply yet, but it's not been long yet. I was hoping they could upgrade me by today, but I guess I shouldn't hold my breath.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to register my Accor number on the Plat site (seem to be going round in circles!)

OK found it now under Benefits Directory > Partner Programmes...

Used to be a perk in Finland, but dropped around 2009. :td:

Now Available again in Finland for Amex Platinum cardholders.

Yep.

Is it ongoing (like SPG Gold) or do get softlanded (HH Gold) if you don't requalify?
