Trying again, I just ignored it and clicked on "Book your hotel". I took me to the hotel booking page.
Keep in mind what i said previously , you need to have an active booking reference with airfrance and as far as i remember it suggest you to book something in city of destination . If not you will be redirected to the ''usual page'' for booking hotels
I have one and could select a hotel. Prices were the same as on Accor website (including the missing LCAH member discount which you have to claim from the hotel after completion of the booking)
in case iyou have a booking reference opened in AF, you will be able to book by a special hidden URL , (something like flyingblue.accorhotels.com or accorhotels.flyingblue.com or accorhotels.airfrance.com) not available anywhere else as its a special one for this ''deal'' between AF/FB/LCAH
And this will show you the amount of extra FB miles you will receive ( 1 mile per 1 euro spent) in addition to the LCAH points
It took me to "https://airfrance.hotelandbook.com/store/index.html#/en/home"
If not maybe it found the info within the cookies of your browser , or somehow FB/LCAH are sharing infos
That is the case indeed.
the process is clearer to me now. Thank you very much.
Now I have one question.
Where is the catch? Do you have any idea?
There is no such thing as a free lunch, so why those extra miles if the rest remains unchanged (LCAH points & elite benefits etc)?
And how come is this is so little advertised?
If I had not booked already (prepaid rate; cannot cancel), I would have got close to 2000 miles for two rooms for one week. Definitely more than what the flight will generate.
Not bad, but I am concerned there are unknown aspects. Do you have a lot of experience whit this kind of booking? Once you have booked, do you see the booking in your LCAH profile?
