All different hotels - the first two in Morrocco.
I assume that until my last hotel stay has posted, the next hotel won’t know my new status, and I wouldn’t get the in- house perks. But for points - does it matter if the new status posts after check-in, but before check-out? Does my entitlement to the extra points depend on when the prior stay posts, or when the spending requirements were met (checkout date)? If the latter, would I have to contact Accor to get the extra points added?
Does the status change on Accor’s records change as soon as the stay that hit let me hit the new status posts, or does it take a few days to update?
Your points are calculated based on your status at checkout (section 7.2.3)
Status during Check-Out. If a Member's Status changes between booking and check-out, the rules used for attributing Reward Points will be those for the Status at check out. For a stay of several consecutive nights, Members are entitled to only one Rewards Point credit when the total invoice is paid.
The status changed pretty quickly after the relevant stay posts.
