I didn't try yet to order on a .de or .nl website but it could be interesting to know that if you get re-direct to your home country website will the offer be accounted or not.
Hi! Thank you for the tip.
It worked, but what a mess....
1) I went to earnonline.flyingblue.com, logged in with FB details and and chose "all regions" as you suggested.
Accor showed up in the list of merchants with current promotions as
www.accorhotels.com DE (written as I have just written, DE is NOT part of the address). Note that searching using the search engine with "travel" brings you nothing.
I clicked on Accor and was prompted to accorhotels.com in German.
Logged in (Anmelden) and looked for first hotel . List of hotels all in German.
Once I selected the BHX Ibis Style hotel, the website switched to French
I booked. Will see if it generates miles as when I do the same via shopformiles.flyingblue.com
I then looked for a hotel in Southampton and even though I was offered a list of hotel, there was a message saying : "
No hotel matches your specific rates"....
Not good, right?
So I logged off and started all over again.
2) this time I chose
www.accorhotels.com NL
Inloggen and looked for hotel.
This time, no message " No hotel matches your specific rates "... List of hotels on Dutch language page.
Switched to French after I had chosen one hotel from the list.
So I booked and will see what happens.
How much money and energy is wasted by FB????
