Well if that the case, then Indonesia membership should also increase close to SG right? There are at least 3 FRHI in Indonesia, Fairmont Jakarta, Raffless Jakarta and Fairmont Bali, as far as I can recall.

I think Indonesian A+ members get only 1 Stay+ night for their membership, that's what my friend said & he redeemed it at Novotel Stevens Road 2 mths ago when he came to visit 
Anyhow, if A+ isn't working out for you, just move on to another program ...
I find Hilton Gold benefits to be pretty good & they have ongoing status matches + VISA fast track promotions

Also good for platinum members to continue the status if you do not have enough nights.

I save $200+ the last time i was dining in Sofitel too. It is not difficult to extract value from the plus membership. Managed to save $100+ and $300+ while dining in Fairmont just last month too.

ah i see, i thought you are based in Indonesia. Lets have a beer/whisky/wine and ponder how we can game the system someday. Given the right circumstances, we might be able to get sufficient value back albeit more difficult than last year. I did managed to get more than what i paid for the membership fee for the 2 stayplus and also plenty of red hot room deals.

For me, the value of Accor Plus card is on that 2 nights complimentary voucher. I value it no more than $150/night. Hence the comp nights itself value $300 for me. Of course being member you will get extra 5%. Hence I will value this at max $100. Anything goes beyond $400 is way to expensive to me.
Not to mention, now adays, it is almost impossible to book hotel such as Sofitel Nusa Dua using complimentary night.
So it this card becoming like Dining card like other hotel cards?

that's provided you do the dining. I hardly dine in that fancy place. If I "force" myself to dine in such a place. I am not saving $200 but rather spend $200 extra.

If you can renew in it Indonesia, i think you should. Please also teach me how as I understand an address will be needed.

I stayed at Sofitel Nusa Dua and So Sofitel Singapore for my 2 stayplus this year. Both around $200+ properties including tax. Paid $378 for my plus membership. I am not sure why you will value it at only $150/night. Adding 5% also does not seem fair as you should compare against original rate (non member). There are lots of value to be extracted from it if you use it well in my opinion.

I know Sofitel Singapore cost more than $250, but I do not need to stay in hotel in Singapore hence it is out of quetion.
Not to mention also that it is very hard to get Pullman in HK using the voucher, you may end up staying at Novotel anyway
If it is equal then I may as well pay the hotel price right? This is why I come up with $150 value. Of course this is very subjective.
I have no issue with an address in Indonesia

I know Sofitel Nusa Dua price is around $200. But like I said nowadays, can you book complimentary night at Sofitel Nusa Dua? If I cannot even find any free night in Sofitel Nusa Dua then it is out of the question.

It will be an easy decision to go for it in Indonesia. Just be prepared to face issues with your status when leaving the plus program. I understand there are many people with issues to reflect the correct status with they leave the program.
