If you don’t already have an Accor Plus membership, you can get one for free with the AMEX HighFlyer Card (available to anyone who owns a small or medium-sized business).
It’s also possible to save a further 6% off by registering for a TopCashback account (the referral link here gives you US$10 extra) and visiting the Accor Live Limitless page via the portal.
Accor Flash Sale
Accor’s flash sale is valid for bookings made by 15 April 2022, with stays from 14 March to 31 July 2022.
Bookings must be paid in full at the time of reservation, and can be refunded if cancelled at least 3 days prior to arrival.
Thanks to the recent scrapping of mandatory hotel quarantine, more Accor properties have reopened to the public, making this the biggest flash sale yet in terms of options.
In the table below, I’ve summarised the cheapest rates I could find for stays in March or April. Do note that pricing is dynamic, and you can use the rate calendar feature on the Accor website for easy browsing.
| Sample Rates for March/April (Actual rates will vary depending on dates) | ||
| Hotel | Accor Plus | Others |
| Grand Mercure Roxy | S$99++ (S$117 nett) | S$116++ (S$137 nett) |
| Swissotel Merchant Court | S$109++ (S$128 nett) | S$127++ (S$150 nett) |
| Sofitel City Centre | S$156++ (S$184 nett) | S$182++ (S$214 nett) |
| Fairmont Singapore | S$170++ (S$200 nett) | S$237++ (S$279 nett) |
| SO/Singapore | S$178++ (S$209 nett) | S$207++ (S$244 nett) |
| Swissotel The Stamford | S$206++ (S$242 nett) | S$240++ (S$282 nett) |
| Sofitel Sentosa Resort | S$216++ (S$254 nett) | S$278++ (S$327 nett) |
Look for the rate labelled “For the Love of”. If you’re an Accor Plus member, login to your account and you’ll see your further 10% off.
Accor Plus members may also see Red Hot Rooms rates, which may price even lower than this staycation sale. However, Red Hot Rooms are non-refundable, so take note before pulling the trigger.
In addition to the hotels listed in the table above, this sale is also available at all Ibis, Ibis Styles and Ibis Budget properties in Singapore, plus 8 on Claymore (which requires a minimum six night stay, making it impractical for staycations).
Save an extra 6% with TopCashBack
To save a little extra on your stays, register for a TopCashback account (the referral link here gives you US$10 extra) and visit the Accor Live Limitless page via the portal.
You’ll earn 6% cashback on all stays (3% if you book Fairmont, Raffles or Swissotel). This is marginally better than Shopback, which offers 6% cashback (2% if you book Fairmont, Raffles or Swissotel).
TopCashback earnings can be cashed out any time (no minimum required) to a Paypal account, or to other methods like a Virtual Prepaid Visa (which you can then use to top up a GrabPay account and cash out the balance to your bank account).
Conclusion
Accor’s latest flash sale offers up to 40% off staycations, and I’d say the rates for the Sofitel City Centre and Swissotel Merchant Court are attractive indeed.
What’s more, the validity period covers the entire June school holidays, so that might be something worth planning ahead for- especially since the rates are fully refundable.
