From some of the posts, it seems that Customer Service is non-existent when Accor has to pay out or acknowledge a benefit. In terms of former Fairmont Plats, my guess is that it's a wait out strategy until the certs expire.
I will update when I get new info.

Update 1 -
I called the Moncton office again. I'm still locked out, although at their end, my account is open. I was told there is one person in Paris who is authorized to unlock accounts and that she is backed up for weeks. I asked for an email showing my certs. That's all I have at this point.
Accor isn't extending the deadline for the certs.

Update #2 - final one
Hurray!!! I am finally able to log into my account. As was experienced by others, it was the Moncton Office which did the "heavy lifting" to solve the problem. A huge thanks to the folks there.
Thanks also to everyone here who have provided tips and feedback. Good luck to those who are still fighting the battle to get their account sorted out.

I was too optimistic...
5 emails still not enaught to have credited one night payed with points.
Last answer is “the hotel can’t charge the night because it was payed with points and they can’t do it without crediting any points, but you can see that night on your account on past stays area ...”
I don’t know if to cry or to laugh or perhaps both togheter 😂
on one side i’m really afraid because perhaps it means I’m really getting old and not able anymore to explain a simple thing, even if using my mother language ...

I wouldn't worry too much. It's not you. No matter how good you may be at explaining the problem, having a 'meeting of the minds' first necessitates that both parties possess the required equipment. When dealing with Accor Customer Care, that key prerequisite is normally missing.

new example: asked customer service about booking conditions ("what is a traditional travel agency") since we booked through an offline agency. Wanted to know if we can benefit a our stay in February 19 and gave them my fairmont booking number.
3.5 days later, received a response: They are replying me regarding my inquiry about "missing points from my last stay" and I should provide details...
Are they even reading the mails?

Any published rate ("GDS rate") such as "Best Available rate", "advance purchase rate", CAA/AAA rate etc. booked via a regular travel agent qualifies for points accruel and stay/night creddit.
The same would apply for any consortia rate such as Virtuoso, Travel Leaders Select, Signature etc.
On the other hand, any net rate, package rate, consolidator rate, package rate etc. that some "regular" travel agents also have access to wouldn't qualify.

You may want to check with your travel agent what type of rate was booked for you.
