Great news !
A long awaited benefit : it will possible now to earn
reward (not status) LCAH points for F&B expenses in some Accorhotels restaurants in France, without actually staying at the hotel.

At the moment it seems to be limited to some restaurants in France :
- Pullman Paris centre Bercy
- Sofitel Paris le Faubourg
- Sofitel Paris Arc de triomphe
- Mercure Paris centre Tour Eiffel
- Novotel paris La Défense
- Ibis Nanterre La Défense
- Novotel Massy Palaiseau
- Mercure Massy Gare TGV
- Pullman Roissy CDG airport
- Pullman Toulouse centre
- Sofitel Marseille vieux port
1 EUR spent (before taxes) = 1 LCAH reward point
Of couse, it may be disappointing that it is only in a few hotels in France, but let' see this on the positive side : it may just be the beginning and we can hope that this will be extended to more hotels and more countries. I can already see some fights between people eating together : who will win giving his/her LCAH card when paying the bill
T&C mentions some points to consider :
- it says that this offer is temporary and valid until 31/12/2018 but can be reconducted automatically for 1-year periods
- eligible expenses : breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, drinks
- max 5 invoices/day/member in eligible restaurants
- something "weird": "
lorsque la dépense dans un Restaurant Participant suit ou précède une réservation de nuitée au sein de l’hôtel du Restaurant Participant, le montant de cette dépense ne pourra être compté dans les dépenses éligibles du séjour." It can be translated into "
when expenses in a participating restaurant is just before or after a night booking in the same hotel, this expense will not be counted in the eligible expenses of the stay". Not sure how to interpret that. Does that mean that the expenses made in the restaurant before checking-in or after check-out will not be eligible for status+reward points (case of F&B expenses during a stay) but will be eligible for reward points as per this new benefit/offer ?
Enjoy your meals while earning points
