Future booking with expiring points
I have some points that will expire on Aug. 10. However, I already booked a few nights at Ibis between Aug. 11 and Aug. 14 using these points. The rate I booked is non-refundable.
Will my reservation be honored as is, or will the points expire and I have to pay for the balance?

If you have booked with points, they will be deducted now. So they shouldn't even be in your account anymore.
If you are printing the €40 voucher, they are valid for 6 months and as long as you print them out before the expiry of your points you are fine.

Thanks for your reply. I thought the same and my account balance is adjusted correctly. However, I received an email from Accor (a few days after I made my booking) warning about expiration of my points and I was unsure what will happen to the point I used to make a booking.

The points you used for booking are gone. I assume you still have some points left and that email would refer to those points.
I presume they don't take note of actually how many points you have - hence even an email if you have a useless 1 point in your account.
