Finally made it !
 

Well after being a member of Accor for 6 yrs in Australia i have finally made it to the ranks of PLATINUM.If only i had known about this forum and another one a while ago it could have saved me an awful lot of money to do it :D. Had in the region of 53 nights (others to make 60 were coming any ways to reach 60 required at Easter period, but this final promotional offer for the first 2 nights gave me the 4,000 pts i required to get there earlier^ Thanks to those whose advise have put me on the road ^Now to discover Platinum ;)

Welcome to the Club! ^:)

Congratulations and welcome ^
We very much look forward reading you here :)

Welcome to the dark side :)

Now, after four years, I'm finally Platinum, too. :)

Thanks folks !

Tis a good feeling, gonna use my status for the first time in Brisbane this weekend :) So looking forward to canapes, drinks and hopefully breakfast in the lounge ! ;)

Yes, feels awesome. :) Enjoy your stay and new benefits.

I hope it's not the Sofitel :rolleyes:

... And arguing with staff that you should get those benefits! :D

Congrats and enjoy!

No it's the Mercure King George Square fortunately:) Joined onto Pullman with a Club Lounge and from what i've read on here and elsewhere Platinum Status is acknowledged even when staying there ......(hopefully).Will report back later ;) Special deals sometimes have this as low as $85 which is still as cheap than a taxi home without the benefits ^

Noooooooooooooooooo ! Having stayed there umpteen times as Gold Status i can honestly say i have never not been granted a room upgrade in either of the 2 adjoined hotels,drinks water and the odd bottle of wine to boot ! There's always a first though !:eek:

No worries, I was talking more in general about some staff in some properties - never been to this particular Hotel :)

Welcome to Platinum. I just hope you are staying at the Pullman King George Square - they know how to treat Plats, the Sofiel doesn't.

Yep really good place and great service to boot every time i have stayed there. Even excelled really as upon check in we were informed breakfast would be continental with 2 hot options. Don't know which school they went to but i didn't class bacon,sausage,scramble eggs,(informed both fried eggs and omelettes ready available if required ) beans,and mushrooms as 2 HOT OPTIONS !! :D One can only hope if i win the lottery reception are paying my 2 million out :D^ Can't see the point in going to Sofitel where there is no lounge personally and this is available cheap as chips at times :confused:

You really should, never been disappointed personally ^
