REMINDER: Accor launches a double points hotel promotion across Europe

UPDATE – APRIL 2025:  This article is now out of date, but don’t worry.  We produce a monthly summary of the top hotel bonus point offers – please click HERE or use the ‘Hotel Offers’ menu above.

Our comprehensive review of the Accor Live Limitless scheme is here.

Since mid November, Accor LIve Limitless has been running a ‘double points’ promotion for stays in selected European and North African countries, including the UK. I thought it was worth a reminder today.

You can register here.

You need to book by 31st January and stay by 12th February.

As usual with Accor offers, existing bookings made before registration won’t count so you will need to cancel and rebook any upcoming stays to earn the bonus. You should obviously check the cancellation terms and the current selling price before you do this.

You will see that the landing page is in German! This is because the offer is aimed at members of Germany’s Bahn Bonus programme, although there is no requirement to have a Bahn Bonus account or to have linked it to your Accor account.

Here are the rules:

• you need to register in advance via this page of the Accor site (stays booked before registration do not count)

• you must book by 31st January 2025

• you must stay by 12th February 2025

• there is NO minimum stay requirement

• you can earn the bonus up to two times

This list of particpating countries is not included!

In the past (but I stress this is from previous similar offers and not this one) the offer is valid at hotels in Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, French Guyana, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Morocco, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Reunion, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, the United Kingdom and Uzbekistan.

What are double Accor Live Limitless points worth?

Our article on what we think Accor Live Limitless points are worth is here.

1 point is worth 2 Eurocents off your next booking, although you need to redeem in chunks of 2,000 points.

The standard earn rate at most brands is 2.5 points per €1. Double base points means 5 points per €1. This means 10 Eurocents of free stays for every €1 you spend, pre-tax, which is a decent return. Anyone with elite status will earn even more.

You can also transfer your Accor Live Limitless points to Avios although you lose value compared to using them for a discount on a future stay.

Ensure you transfer into Iberia Plus, where the rate to Avios is 1:1, rather than British Airways Executive Club or Qatar Airways Privilege Club, where the rate is 2:1. You can move your Avios from Iberia Plus into your BA account via ‘Combine My Avios’ – instructions here.

Don’t forget to link your Accor account to your Qatar Airways Privilege Club account

You can now earn Avios ON TOP of Accor Live Limitless points. It’s an easy win with no downside.

You earn 1 Avios for every €1, before taxes, you spend at any Accor Live Limitless hotel.

You will need a Qatar Airways Privilege Club account to do this. You can move the Avios across to British Airways Executive Club by linking your Qatar Airways and BA accounts following the instructions here.

To link your Accor Live Limitless and Qatar Airways accounts, go to this page of the Accor website.

You do NOT need to do this before booking a stay but you must do it before you check in. Once done, you can sit back and forget about it – all future Accor stays will earn you Avios automatically.

Don’t forget to register before booking

You can find out more about the Accor double points offer, and register, here.

PS. As I found recently, if you have an issue with an Accor promotion you need to be able to quote the promo reference number. This one is ‘020444’.
