This used be a great offer. 3 x 1 night stays with wide booking and stay windows. Then 3 x 2 night stays with wide booking and stay windows. Now 3 x 2 nights with very narrow windows. Unfortunately, I will probably not be able to take advantage. Shame.

I agree I did not mind too much it was increased from 1 night to 2 night condition. we were previously given a 2 or 3 month time period to get the 3 stays.
Now barely 4 weeks.
So yeah I am not interested. Maybe they will have a better offer from next month.

I wonder what is the rationale of this offer. After all I think most cases of travel are based on the need to travel, and for holidays I don’t think many are booking lots and lots of holidays and waiting for these offers to pop out. 🤷♂️ Plus if you have a flexible booking you can cancel and rebook if the price is the same/similar so you get the points.
When it has a longer timeframe it makes sense, but for just a month or generally these offers with short windows are quite a curiosity. It’s a bit surreal for them to think we are going to quickly plan 2-3 trips in a short timeframe just to get bonus points.
Now going a bit beyond the scope of this, but maybe more personalised offers would make more sense. For example, they have a partnership with Flying Blue and with many other airlines. With your agreement, they could see what flights you have booked and see if you have an Accor booking for these periods or not. And then if you don’t they could make you an offer on that destination, discounts, 1 bonus night for 5 nights booked etc. Even more, higher discounts (or points bonuses) for premium properties to encourage you to book a more expensive hotel etc. 🤷♂️

That is a good idea, but would require Accor's (or really, any other chain) IT not sucking incredibly hard and being a dysfunctional mess of departments fighting each other for resources and "permissions" to do things :-)

It's on Loyalty Lobby.
Accor ALL 6,000 Bonus Points For Three Stays October 10 – December 20, 2023 (Book September 26 – October 17)
10 weeks to make the stays is more doable for me than previously, but still doubtful.

Sorry I did post a link after this ... but it did not arrive on the forum. - My IT skills are lacking in many departments....
I think most people will now have the e mail.

I have looked at the 6000 Reward Points Promo T&Cs but just want to check I have not missed something and this is valid for stays in Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. I am starting to plan a 1 month winter holiday and this could work out nice, to go with earning 13 more Status Nights to retain Platinum for next year.
