This thread is identifying a specific new problem with Accor Plus, and how it has gone from a stated benefit of
prolonging elite status to now, not only not honoring earned Le Club status, but reducing the term that earned status runs for. So, with respect to elite status, Accor Plus has gone from having a positive impact to a negative impact, bypassing being neutral on status.

The rants are justified because it seems the changes can't be intentional, in that a Platinum Le Club member should not be penalized for joining or extending Accor Plus.
