FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I have only ever stayed at a Sofitel on three occasions. Two of those stays, I booked a suite to guarantee availability, and the third was a relatively reasonably-priced stay at the Sofitel Florianopolis. I'm guessing the pricey stay in ZQN for the engagement trip was why they comped me to Plat, as I never had Gold status with Privilege (that program's top-tier, and only elite-tier, actually).

No, you don't have to do that to see how Accor treats its Platinums. I'm sure there's a nice Motel 6 up there on 45 somewhere near where you live that's left the light on for you. And odds are you can have it for less than $50/night.

On the plus side, I do have enough points for $180-worth of Accor Vouchers. With the $CAD where it is, that could substantially lessen my cost of staying at the Sofitel Montreal (which is already cheaper than the W).

:rolleyes: (to their mishandling of your last stay credit).

How did you match to S:rolleyes:fitel ?

I was a (general - i.e., non-Gold) member of Sofitel Privilege, and Sofitel unsolicitedly offered me a comp to Gold (the second-highest tier) with the inception of AlClub.

Check the back of the certs.

If I'm gone too long, either the nanny or MR BL does the groceries; the nanny does the laundry; Ambien is on autorefill at Target and a quick trip to Specs fills the liquor cabinet - I buy in bulk:)

The new program appears to be better than Privilege. Upgrades for Golds and Plats, and every 2,000 points earns a $60 voucher good at any Accor property.

I like that Accor tends to have decent properties (Sofitel, Pullman, Novotel, and a few Mercure properties) in some oddball corners of the planet. Nice to have that option as a leisure traveler.

Not that it matters, as my AlClub status currently is gm due to Sofitel's screw up of the comp. :rolleyes:

Oh that sucks. I just assumed that it was, since Accor owns it. Not that you'd want to stay in one, but just in case you ever needed a really cheap mattress run to keep your status…
