That was my conclusion as well after becoming Plat and trying to figure out my points/status. And, indeed, the Excel sheet is the only practical way to count this.

So if we believe that the Stay/Night counter is accurate then I'm 14 stays/24 nights so far until 30/06/2016. I have 13/24 in my worksheet but booked 2 rooms for one stay, it must count twice. Then I'm 13,361 points in this year since 01/07/2015 with an anticipated 15K+ points until end of April => Platinum should be renewed.

But, gosh, that accorhotel.com website is really, truly horribly designed and coded. Keeps bugging/crashing all the time, timeout is too short, the sliding pictures are a total pain to use when using a remote display when starting a new booking, the auto-login keeps resetting all the booking information you painfully entered, etc. I'm quite sure they are losing some business because of their website... which is ironic given how badly they are trying to bring back direct bookings to skip brokers.

If wish they learn some bits from other booking websites sometimes!
