10,000 bonus points with accor/aeroplan [expired]
 
http://flyingpiggie.com/2014/10/aero...es-accor-stay/

I have signed up for the 8000 points promotion for 3 stay, and i have 3 stays coming up. can i still sign up for this promotion with my existing bookings?

and could i not convert the 10,000 points to miles but keep it with my accor membership?

It does say it will have to auto convert. Anyways the promotion is FFP specific so it makes sense.

Very interesting.
Now I just need to figure out which hotels are excluded...

10,000 bonus points with accor/aeroplan
 
Could be a great promo.. I see the Mercury brand at Narita Airport in the $40 range also an Ibis in Prague also in $40 range.

If there is unlimited redemption then this would by far be the best deal!

1 night stay only counted as one night?

tboons Oct 16, 2014 4:51 pm

Does it mean that I get Platinium with just 3 stay, which gives me 30,000 accor points before switching to aero miles?

Don't you guys read. (from Aeroplan site.)

Earn 5,000 bonus miles with Accor hotels
Earn 5,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles when you book and stay at any Novotel or one of 12 other Accor brands hotel worldwide by 12/31
Only thing it doesn't say is more then once. Bangkok has $33 a night rooms, maybe I won't stay in them, but still.
I have two separate nights booked early in Nov. and they say the points show up in 10 days, so for that 10 days I'll be working on my IHG.

of course I read the website but as you corrently pointed out, it did not state if this bonus will only be awarded once, or per stay basis for the whole promotion period.

Isn't that the problem with all these promos, you just never for sure if your going to get the points.

So, if you're doing the 8k bonus points promo (1k, 3k, 4k) as well, would it work like this:

Stay 1: 10k + 1k +regular points get posted as half that amount in AC miles (~5.5k).
Stay 2: 10k + 3k + regular points roughly converts to ~6.5k AC miles
Stay 3: 10k + 4k + regular points roughly converts to ~7k AC miles
Stay 4: 10k + 0 + regular points roughly converts to 5k AC miles
...

i.e., the promos combine, prior to being automatically converted to miles? If so, you lose a bit in the conversion of the 1k, 3k, 4k bonus points because the conversion rate is 'unfair' (what would been 160 Euro in vouchers converts into only 4k miles). I think you'd be better off not converting to miles for stays 2 and 3.

It specifically states not combinable with any other promotions though
