Accor has its share of problems but I'm not sure what's the criticism here.
You should be disappointed with the Australian government because travel has resumed (sort of) for most of us. It's not Accor that's keeping you a prisoner in your own country.
I'm just glad not many countries decided to implement the draconian restrictions you have to endure.

They must really be getting desperate to retain customers! Too bad it's not double reward points.
I feel the same. I won't take advantage because I've pretty much already qualified Platinum (my goal) for 2022, due to the rollover nights, but it's a nice gesture nevertheless.
I'd also prefer reward points but I'm glad Accor is trying something.
