Buying US stocks from Singapore is really cost efficient, Euronext should be about the same.
Note that you need to be 1 share and then request to have it registered under your name by your broker.
Otherwise you need 50 shares held by your broker.
It will give you GOLD tier for one year only (no renewal) and can't be reactivated if you sell the share(s) and buy again.
(previously it would give you Platinum status as long as you held the share(s)).

Singapore Banks usually are quite flexible to address foreign markets.

But then I guess it was too good, and not really profitable giving away Plat status so easily...

Think they will match everyone to Accor Classic ....
You can "buy" some Accor status
Accor Plus will give you Accor Silver for about £250 ish
Ibis Accor Card will give you Accor Gold for about £70 ish
The French Credit Cards will let you earn status more easily.
Buy some stock in Accor for a year of I think Gold. ?
That's about it - Platinum / Diamond etc needs to be on actual spends in the hotels for some reason ....
Not sure of Black. no one knows much about it - or what it offers ....

Accor is pretty much considered bottom-rung among hotel loyalty programmes, so while the other global hotel chains look down upon it (i.e. good luck status matching from ALL at Marriott), they used to be quite generous with Gold. Also, there are STILL chains below it in pecking order, so Best Western gave me a Gold or whatever it's called just for asking.
You used to be able to get President's Circle or something at Hertz for ALL Platinum, not sure if it's still valid. You certainly get like-for-like at Europcar automatically - not that your status matters much there, but you get a solid discount from rack rates if you book via the Accor elite link.
Airlines generally only ever status match other airlines. Certainly never heard of an airline loyalty programme giving any status to ALL elites.

Status Match
Greetings , I have Lifetime Titanium Status with Marriot Bonvoy. I have a bunch of travel planned @ Accor properties.
Would anyone know if Accor offers status match?
Appreciate anyone with first hand experience with this.

Did you try a status match? I'm in a similar position & planning on moving on from Marriott.
