Change in FB benefits with Le Club Accorhotels status ?
Good afternoon everyone.
Not sure I should post that one within FB or Accorhotels fora, but since I am much more familiar with the former, here I go! Mods, up to you to redirect if it makes sense. Thanks.
For several years, as an FB Plat (even before LTP), I used to get automatically Platinum status with Accorhotels group, even though I was not reaching proper qualifying thresholds - a sort of permanent status match.
Since January first though, I see I am now Gold with them (with 20 nights and 5k points in 2017 which is still below any Le Club Gold threshold). I searched FB and Le Club Accohotels fora within FT, as well as FB and Le Club general terms & conditions without finding any reference to this potential change (and to be fair, I did not find any reference to the previous benefit linking FB Plat to Le Club Plat).
Does any of you have any info here ?
Thank you,
Fred

Never heard of it , maybe it was a hidden benefit . Maybe other Platnium FB members can confirm
If you are still gold i think its because of soft landing , from platinium to gold
They changed the LeClubAccorHotel's program in January 2017 so this maybe the reason why you are gold now

There has never been any link between FB Plat and Accor Plat. You got your Accor Platinum by another way (Amex Plat, club des actionnaires, etc). All those are gone now.
