Calling their phone number resulted in nothing either, the agent didn't even know about the Flying Blue + Accor program...
Hello
SanderM and welcome to Flyertalk.
Status nights are not free nights. They are nights which count for your Le Club status (e.g. you need 60 nights in a calendar year to become Platinum). Let's say you spend one night in an Accor hotel somewhere. Once these two extra "virtual" status nights will be recorded, your account will show "3/60 nights spent".
