As mentioned above, in Europe and Asia / Pacific, there are Accor properties everywhere and across the spectrum from budget to luxury. So no shortage of opportunities to earn / burn points (which is simply 2000 pts = €40). They also have useful subscription offers that provide free nights and heavily discounted rooms rates, discounts on restaurants etc).

If I was based in North America and travelling primarily in that region, Accor wouldn’t be a starter (unless you stated only at the Fairmont…).
