"Roll-Over Status Nights / Points: ALL status nights and points earned between July 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 will be rolled over to jump start your elite qualification on January 1, 2021, allowing you to earn elite status faster in the 2022 program year."
Many hotel chains have extended status to 2021 which is nice, but that removes further benefits to stay with those chains for the rest of 2020. Accor's offer above gives the incentive to tilt the scales in their favor in the 2nd half of this year. Smart move I think.
Anybody who is currently Platinum not only got partial credit to achieve Diamond easier between now and the rest of the year (unlike other hotel chains), but in addition even if you start from scratch, if you spend enough (10,400 EUR) in 2020H2 then you get Diamond status for the remainder of 2020, and all of 2021-2022.
