I retained it for 2 years already..... but after the 2 years.... since Jan to now. I only attained Gold Status. Might try to chase for Platinum but I don't plan to have much stays till the end of the year.

A good reason why it is far more simple to stay a regular plat member.

Renewed my Accor Plus today after some pressure telemarketing and they hounded me with many phone calls.

Was Platinum for past 2 years now Gold despite my status due for expiry on 31 October 2018.

Not happy with Accor as I have one final stay before my plat expires but my dashboard shows Gold.

I will be requesting an Accor Plus refund AU$395.

Actually 95 nights ...and, as every year, already sent message to Accor customer service asking to introduce a new level after Platinum

something like Platinum Elite, or to give some bonus to the customers spending more than 100 nights / year

as every year, no feedback 😂

12761 status points.

1 more stay probably will book next week. Will easily hit over 14,000 on this stay. Potentially another 2, 1 or 2 night stays in HK. Funny I always think I will be very close but eventually a few extra stays come up and bang 15,000 status points. Maybe a good excuse to blow reward points on the HK stays ,especially if there are no bonus point promotions on.

Heard that they are working on something like that, maybe a special Concierge service or related.
But they need better stats after moving from points to $ to fine-tune their services.

Was aiming for 14K Plat but obviously overshot quite a bit!

19 336 Status points and 68 nights

I would LOVE for LCAH to carry over the extra points over 14K to the next year.

2 nights this weekend at Xian Sofitel Legend costing a bit as we booked the junior suite so we have no problem of qualifying. Question. If I use points to reduce the cost.
For example:
I need to spend just under 4000rmb (I already did the conversion from Euro's spent) to get over the 14,000 status points.
The cost of the hotel is around 6200rmb for the 2 nights including taxes (taxes around 800/900rmb).
If I reduce the total cost with points down to 4200rmb how will they calculate the status points?

Will they :

(1 Credit me with 4200rmb worth of status points or,
(2 Credit me with 4200-800/900rmb of tax in that case I would not get the required points to keep my plat membership.

Anyone have experiences with this?

In my experience using points, the status and rewards points posted have been the same base value (before bonus points or status loading on the rewards points).

And it takes often a lot of time to correct the situation, so as we are close to year end, if I were you I would not use points for this stay (if you can).
If you want to do it anyway, for point credits, the rule is that 100% of taxes are deducted from the remaining amount to pay in cash at check-out. And the points earned are based on what’s remain.
For instance : for a total stay of 1000 €, including 150€ of taxes
- without using points, you earn points based on a 850 € spending
- if you use 20,000 points, equivalent of 400€, the remaining amount to pay at check-out is 600€. For points earning, the amount eligible will be 600-150 = 450€
