Die Accor All Platinum Suite Upgrades sind extrem lahm …
Accor hat heue die neue All (Accor Live Limitless) Page online geschalten. Für den Platinum Status gibt es ja eine Neuigkeit. Accor All hat sich an anderen Programmen orientiert und bietet ähnlich wie World of Hyatt oder Marriott Bonvoy garantierte Suite Upgrades.
Hier die Bedingungen:
“Obtaining a Suite Night Upgrade
On reaching or obtaining Platinum status (as outlined in Article 8 of the General Conditions of Membership), Members receive two (2) Suite Night Upgrades are credited to their account. When a Platinum Member has earned 18,000 Status Points, a third Suite Night Upgrade is then credited to the account.
The Member receives an additional Suite Night Upgrade each time an additional 4,000 Status Points have been earned, for example, a fourth Suite Night Upgrade on reaching 22,000 Status Points, a fifth on reaching 26,000 Status Points and so on, up to a maximum of twelve (12) Suite Night Upgrades per calendar year.
A Suite Night Upgrade is valid for one (1) night only. The Member may use several Suite Night Upgrades when staying for several consecutive nights, if he or she has enough Suite Night Upgrades having already been credited in the account.
Each Suite Night Upgrade is valid until 31st December of the year following its date of issue (calendar year N+1). No validity extension will be granted either before or after a Suite Night Upgrade’s expiry date.
Suite Night Upgrades are credited exclusively to the Member’s account, and can be viewed online via the Website and the Accor All app. No printed Suite Night Upgrades will be issued, nor can Suite Night Upgrades be sent out via email.
However, Members will receive an email notification whenever a Suite Night Upgrade they have earned has been credited to their account.
Using Suite Night Upgrades
Members who wish to use one or several Suite Night Upgrade(s) during their stay must pre- book prior to the stay.
Bookings must be made by calling an Accor Booking Office or by calling one of a participating hotel offering Suite Night Upgrades directly, except for Fairmont, Raffles and Swissôtel hotels. For these three brands, bookings must be made via the Accor Booking Office.
The Suite Night Upgrade must be valid on the dates of stay booked. Suite Night Upgrades are for personal use only and are non-exchangeable, non-refundable and non-transferable. They can only be used by the Member whose name is printed on the membership card. The Member must be present during the stay and must themselves be staying in the suite that has been booked.
The Member may book several rooms and/or suites when making the booking, but only one Suite Night Upgrade will be authorised per night and for the suite in which the Member is staying.
If Members wish to stay for several nights but only have one (1) Suite Night Upgrade, they may nonetheless stay in the suite for the duration of the booked stay. In that case, they will use their Suite Night Upgrade for one night but will have to pay the full undiscounted price for the suite for the other nights of the stay. If the Members do not wish to book the Suite at the advertised rate, they will need to make another booking for the other nights of the stay, choosing a different type of room, which would mean changing rooms during the stay.
For bookings covering several consecutive days at a constant rate, the Suite Night Upgrade will apply to the first night of the stay by default.
For bookings covering several consecutive days at a variable rate (i.e., the rate is different each night), the Suite Night Upgrade will apply to the most expensive eligible night by default. Subject to availability at the time of booking, the customer care advisor may offer the Member different types of suites, corresponding to suites paired with different types of rooms, along with their associated rates.
The use of Suite Night Upgrades is subject to the same blackout dates as the Programme’s room availability guarantee. The official calendar of dates on which the availability guarantee does not apply is regularly updated and displayed for Members on the all.accor.com website. It is up to Members to take note of these dates before booking a stay for which they require an availability guarantee (See the dates here).”

Bei 14 000 Statuspunkten (= ca. 5 600 Euro Umsatz für einen Gold in Premium Marken) erhält man mal 2 Suite Upgrades. Dann gibt es jeweils nach weiteren 4 000 Punkten (= ca. 1 600 Umsatz) nochmals je ein Suite Upgrade. Die Upgrades sind immer nur für eine Nacht!!!
Accor All ist da überhaupt nicht großzügig. Ein World of Hyatt Globalist hat im Vergleich standardisierte Upgrades in Suiten bei jedem Stay und kann nochmals 4 Stays zu je einer Woche mit einem Suite Upgrade verbinden. Bei Marriott Bonvoy gibt es auch die standardisierten Suite Upgrades und 5 Suite Night Awards bei Erreichung von Platinum.

Ist doch genau so wie zu erwarten.
Was genau soll der Vergleich des höchsten Status eines Programmes mit einem mittleren eines anderen Programmes darstellen?
(wäre ein Golf mit Porsche Vergleich)
Ihr Platinum ist halt doch relativ schwierig zu erreichen und für ihren Platinum mache ich Globalist oder Marriott Platinum easy. Und All Diamond bringt – soweit wir das jetzt wissen – pro 4 000 Statuspunkte (das ist eine schöne Menge) nur je ein Suite Upgrade pro Nacht.
Accor ist ohnehin lahm ohne Ende. Frühstück für Diamond nur am Wochenende gratis? Muahahahaa! Und wo sind jetzt die Dream Stays hin? Die angepriesenen Resort-Vorteile bei DEN Preisen können es ja nicht sein.
Den Vorteil sehe ich noch in der absoluten Menge an Hotels.
Ist aber wirklich etwas lahm. Bei etlichen der neuen Marken, wie z.B. Mövenpick gibt es für Gold und höher nicht einmal einfache Zimmer-Upgrades.
Wenn ich überlege, was wir dieses Jahr als Gold- und später Platinmember bereits an Upgrades bekommen haben, hat sich der Status allemal gelohnt bisher. Plus diverse Specials mit unschlagbaren Preisen und einem nicht unerheblichen Geldwert an Punkten, Und grade in Asien werden Platinmember teilweise fast wie VIPs behandelt…
