Whole T&C as printed on the back of those vouchers below:

The AIClub rewards gift voucher is accepted exclusively during the period of validity specified on the reverse side to pay for part or full settlement of services (which must include a minimum one-night stay) provided by hotels in the Sofitel, Pullmann, MGallery, Novotel, Mercure, Suitehotel, Ibis and all seasons networks but also by the Accor Thalassa hotels. It is accepted in the Ibis hotels in located in France only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. The AIClub rewards gift voucher may be used at certain partners of the AIClub network mentioned on Accor hotels Loyalty Program - A|Club.
Settlement with AIClub rewards gift vouchers must be done directly at the hotel or at our partnerīs point of sale.
Several AIClub rewards gift vouchers may be used to settle the same bill. It is possible to complete payment by any other means of payment accepted by the hotels or the partners. AIClub rewards gift voucher will not give rise to partial or total monetary exchange in any form, including change in cash. It may not be replaced or reimbursed in the event of theft, loss, deterioration, destruction or expiry of the validity date. Either in Euro or in US Dollar, it can be used outside the Euro zone. The currency exchange rate applied will be that of the last workday of the previous month as extracted from the Natixis database "Multidevises". Natixis is a company with a capital of 1955268 310, 40 euros located at 30 avenue Pierre Mendes, 75013 Paris France.
I did not check the accuracy of Natixis "Multidevises" en detail but it seems that if you can get the hotels to follow their own t&c stated on the coupon in regard to the exchange rate used their margin to gain an additional 10% is limited.
