That's not been my experience.

I had a multi-day stay 2017/2018 and didn't get it. The annoying part is that I was sharing the room with another person, so we could have booked it as multiple oscillating single nights if that really is the stupid game Accor wants to play.

The wording looks to be much more explicit than before. It now says:
"Places check-in confirmed on 31st December or 1st January following a one-night stay (night of 31st December to 1st January)"

To add detail: our stay was five nights, we checked in to the hotel and the app on 28.12. and checked out of the hotel on 02.01. The badge was awarded.

It looks as though we have another example of Accor inconsistency.

Thanks for the info, folks. So I guess I should reach out to Accor Plus CS and see if I can get the badge unlocked?

The new Banyan Tree, Angsana, Cassia, and Dhawa badges have not yet been added to the Places App.

However using the App I just used the search box and typed in Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur and then Pavilion Hotel (Managed by Banyan Tree) Kuala Lumpur and icons for both hotels popped up with the normal function for registering and validating check ins.

I have not checked into either of these hotels so I am not sure if the Validation process will already be successful if we try it, or whether such check ins can not be Validated until the actual badges are added to the page of badges.

Anyone who is currently or was recently booked into one of these hotels could perhaps try to see if they can get their check ins Validated ??

I registered my stay at the Angsana Xi'an Lintong on the app and I got the message saying it would be looked at by the Places team. I just looked in my app and the stay does not appear in my check ins at all. I guess perhaps these brands are not yet fully implemented?

My stay at the Angsana Xi'an Lintong was approved and appears in my list of check ins. However, the badges for the newly added brands are not yet added to the app.

Furthermore, I got the following reply to my email about the New Year Badge:

This seems a bit ridiculous.
