Accor Plus Traveller membership now available for 4,499 ALL points

Accor Plus has historically allowed its mid-tier Explorer membership to be purchased with Accor Live Limitless (ALL) points, instead of cash. 

However, it’s now expanding this offer to its entry-tier Traveller membership for a limited time. Instead of the usual S$308, ALL members can choose to redeem 4,499 ALL points. 

If you care more about the dining perks and room discounts than the free night certificates, then this may be a more cost-effective form of membership. 

Accor Plus Traveller sale

Join Accor Plus
Tier	Cost	Includes
Traveller	S$308   or 4,499 pts	Standard Accor Plus benefits
Explorer	S$418   or 12,000 pts	Standard Accor Plus benefits 1x Stay Plus certificate
Explorer Plus	S$538	Standard Accor Plus benefits 2x Stay Plus certificates

From 19 February to 9 March 2024, ALL members can purchase an Accor Plus Traveller membership for 4,499 ALL points. 

For context, 2,000 ALL points is normally worth €40, so this is the equivalent of €90 (~S$130). It’s certainly a significant discount on the usual retail price of S$308, though it should be noted that Accor Plus runs periodic sales with 10-15% off, so the “real price” is arguably lower.

Only you can decide whether an Accor Plus Traveller membership is worth 4,499 ALL points, but to recap, the key benefits are:

• 10% off best available public rate
• Up to 50% off member exclusive room rates with with Red Hot Room offers
• Up to 50% off dining across 1,400 restaurants in Asia Pacific
  • 25% off dining: 1 member only
  • 50% off dining: 1 member and 1 guest
  • 33% off dining: 1 member and 2 guests
  • 25% off dining: 1 member and 3 guests
• 15% off drinks bill in Asia
• Member exclusive More Escapes stay packages
• Early access to global Accor hotel sales
• Members’ exclusive experiences
• 20 status nights each year

Some examples of participating Accor Plus restaurants in Singapore include Prego, Mikuni and Asian Market Café at the Fairmont, SKAI, The Stamford Brasserie, CLOVE, at Swissotel and The Cliff and Kwee Zeen at the Sofitel Sentosa Resort.

Don’t forget that your dining benefits apply overseas too, even on breakfast. You’ll often find that it makes more sense to book a non-breakfast rate and then purchase breakfast at 50% off at the hotel itself. 

As for status nights, Accor Plus members receive 20 status nights each year upon commencement or renewal of membership.

Status	Status Nights	Status Points
Silver	10	2,000 (€800 spend)
Gold	30	7,000 (€2,800 spend)
Platinum	60	14,000 (€5,600 spend)
Diamond	N/A	26,000 (€10,400 spend)

This means that all Accor Plus members will receive, at a minimum, ALL Silver status (which requires 10 status nights).

Here’s a quick recap of the benefits available at each tier of ALL.

For avoidance of doubt, Status Accelerator applies regardless of whether you bought an Accor Plus membership, or received it as a benefit via a credit card.

Which credit cards offer Accor Plus membership?

As an alternative to buying an Accor Plus membership outright, two credit cards in Singapore offer a complimentary Accor Plus Explorer membership.

Card	Min. Income	Annual Fee
AMEX HighFlyer Card	S$30,000	S$304.59
DBS Vantage Card	S$120,000	S$599.50

While it’s not easy to waive the annual fee for either card, it’s not impossible either:

• AMEX HighFlyer Card annual fee can be waived subject to an internal review that looks at your spending and tenure with American Express
• DBS Vantage Card annual fee can be waived with a minimum spend of S$60,000 in a membership year

If the annual fee is waived, you will still enjoy a renewal of the Accor Plus Explorer membership, together with the free hotel night.
