Hello gguniss,
yes, it's same for me. I am happy about that, because I experienced several times that hotel staff did not know what "Club des Actionnaires" is and I had to explicitly show my Platinum card to get my benefits. When I was normal Platinum before, I never had these issues and I hope it's all back to normal, now that I am shown as "plain normal Platinum".

I'll also be happy to have a 'normal' card, for the reasons you mention, even if it will be just Gold rather than Platinum for the next few months. Maybe we should resign from the CdA, just to be sure?

I'll wait a little while before doing so, though, as it is possible that a 'purged' CdA will once again offer more shareholder events.

alright, so seems that's normal and I do not mind as well. just hope that after a year if I do not qualify for (at least) Gold (unlikely though) they do not say - you are not member of Club, enjoy your Basic card benefits

I am sure this will reduce problems with hotels honoring status. At least I'm hopeful.

Also, since they wrote about "adding new benefits" to the CdA program, i would be curious (and expect some kind of communication about that soon) what they plan to do

Give us more cards. Instead of just one CdA Platinum card, with no expiry date and no guarantee that hotels will know what it is, you get at least one new card every single year. In old age, you'll be able to look through your collection and reminisce about all the programme name changes and different coloured cards.

My points to qualify for platinum are getting more. So it seems that Accor checks how much points you have got within a year, not an calendar year. Last week I needed 5.5k to qualify, now 6.1k.

Mine are now also increasing: stays from last June are being dropped from the running total, which is how it should work. It will be interesting to see whether adjustments are made for bonus points that post late (if they ever post...).

It will probably vary by country. Nothing received so far by this US-based member.

Anybody who has more information? Or has anybody tried to show his/her platinum cda card after being downgraded to gold? They had trouble finding my number in my latest hotel. I booked it with my plat cda number and after that got downgraded.

Wow finally, after multiple emails and followup, managed to get my account upgraded to GOLD after buying ACCOR shares.

Thanks for this. Yours is the first report I've seen, here or anywhere else, of someone successfully joining the CdA since the changes (and consequently getting upgraded to Gold).

I'm still using my CdA Platinum card and so far got Plat benefits everywhere I go (except for bonus points). For some reason points are not accredited automatically though so I have to send a copy of the invoice after every stay to get the points.

Seems also my account is reflecting 10 nights and 2500 points to platinum not the "usual" stays and points to platinum. Wonder if this is a computer error. Have a stay upcoming which should nett me 2500 points. Will report back.
