Accor Live Limitless has launched a new promotion that offers a 20% bonus on points for all stays booked through the ALL.com app.ย
This is further stackable with other ongoing ALL promotions, such as the 3X offer I wrote about yesterday. Unfortunately, because of the way in which ALL calculates bonus points, it’s not quite as generous as it appears on first glance- but still welcome nonetheless!ย
Earn 20% bonus ALL points on Accor stays
ALL members who book stays via the ALL.com app will enjoy a 20% bonus on every booking automatically.ย
Here’s the key details of this offer:
- Bookings must be made between 1 June and 17 October 2024
- Stays must be between 1 June 2024 and 30 June 2025
- No minimum stay duration is required
- No cap on the maximum number of bonus points
All properties worldwide are participating, with the exception of those in Ukraine and Russia.ย
Points, both base and bonus, will be credited within 10 days of check-out.ย
How many points will you earn?
Here’s how many ALL points you can expect to earn under this promotion and the effective rebate, depending on your tier.
As a reminder, 2,000 ALL points are worth โฌ40, and can be used to offset room rates or other incidental spend like dining and spa treatments during stays.

Do note thatย Accor calculates the 20% bonus points based on Classic status, which is why it’s a flat 5 points (20% of 25) per โฌ10, regardless of tier. Therefore, this offer is more accurately described as “up to 20%”, since that’s only the case if you’re a Classic member.ย
Stack with other ALL offers
It’s explicitly mentioned that this offer can be combined with other ALL offers, such as the 3X points offer valid for stays within Africa, Asia Pacific and the Middle East till 29 July 2025.ย
If you registered for that offer and then booked through the app, you’d earn up to a 19.8% rebate, as shown below.

I know, an incremental 1% rebate from this 20% bonus offer is a bit underwhelming, but hey, every little bit helps right?
But don’t forget cashback sites!
There’s just one problem though: this offer requires you to book via the ALL.com app, and there’s no way to access it via ShopBack. When you attempt to visit ALL via the ShopBack app, it insists on pushing you to the website, with no option to book via the app (in fact, the ShopBack T&Cs explicitly say that there’ll be no tracking for bookings made via the mobile app).ย
ShopBack is currently offering 2% cashback on Swissotel, Raffles and Fairmont Hotel properties, and 5.3% cashback at all other Accor brands. This is obviously better than an extra 1%, so you should be considering this as your first option for bookings (though I have heard horror stories re: ShopBack tracking for ALL, so be warned!).
Remember, you’ll still be able to stack ShopBack with ALL promotions that don’t require you to book via the app, such as the ongoing 3X offer.
Conclusion
Accor Live Limitless members can now earn a bonus 20% on points by booking their stays through the ALL.com app. It represents an extra 1% rebate, which might not sound like much, but can be stacked with other ongoing offers.
However, keep in mind that the rebates can be richer through cashback sites like ShopBack, and you can’t book via the app if you use that.
I will be careful with this promo. I was booking a 2 night stay at Fairmont Makati and the price I got on the app using the offer was higher than that on ALL.com and the Fairmont website. I would encourage everyone to check the price on the website as well before making a booking.
Same experience here. Sometimes the rate for an Accor property is cheaper on Agoda than through the ALL app, even though I have AccorPlus. ๐ฃ
Opportunity for a brg claim maybe?
