Adding my personal experience with Shareholders Club. I was planning a trip with some Accor hotel involved, so looking into how to get Gold status with the shareholder club track (ibis business card no longer give gold status).
Bought 50 shares of ACRFF, submitted the statment and got Gold after one day. So my conclusion here is holding American Depository Receipts (like ACRFF) also works.

PS: use a real brokerage account, smaller investment app like Robinhood does not offer ACRFF.
