Not sure what that means!
Well, if you're going to be staying at an Accor hotel anyway, the free upgrade, welcome drink, late checkout, double points etc might come in handy anyway!

Yeah, the URL in this thread is incorrect, but the link in this post does indeed work.

I just say that it's not a good choice to transfer points on FB account. Better is to keep points on Accor program to reduce the bill... as soon as you have 2000 points (60 US$ )

Hi,
Thank You for sharing this information with us.
I signed up last year for A-Club Gold through a similar offer. The perks are quite limited, and only work with M Gallery, Pullman and Sofitel. IME, I got a room upgrade at M Gallery, and a late check-out at Pullman (after a short discussion though).
Just signed up for Platinum - hope it helps during my next stay ;-)

2000 A-club points will give you a 40 EUR/60USD voucher to spend at Accor hotels.
1000 FB miles represent a value of 5,80 Eur as detailed in this link:

So to convert A-Club points into FB miles is a total waste of money!

I signed up for AClub through that link, and it became Platinum directly. I did not however fill out any flying blue details?
So it seems I got the plat status without moving miles to FB

If you use 50.000 miles for a WBC Roundtrip i.e. from CDG to ORD via AMS, it will cost you :
50.000 miles + 440 € taxes
If you use the same flights but pay for it, it will cost you 2440 €.
So you save 2000€ > 1 mile = 0,04 € > 1000 miles = 40€
So, IMO, the value is the same IF and only IF you use promo awards.

If you need 50.000 miles, you can buy them today at the Air France website for 950 Euro:
38.000 miles + 11.400 bonus miles = 950 EUR.
So you would be losing out a lot by converting your A-Club point.
N.B. If for what ever reason you are not entitled to "bonus miles":
50.000 miles bought via Air France costs today: 1250 EUR

IF and only IF you would pay for the full business class seat otherwise. If you, like me, normally fly Economy you should compare it to the economy flight price.
I would not spend 2440 euro for a ticket that normally costs 600 in Economy. Probably the business class upgrade is worth about 300 euro extra to me, so, it should be compared to a 900 euro ticket price.
So 50K miles + 440 = 900. This means the miles are worth 460, or, a little under 1 cent each.
