Accor Plus has launched a new sale which offers a 30% discount on Accor Plus Traveller or Explorer memberships till 29 September 2024.
Accor Plus members enjoy benefits including up to 50% off dining, 15% off drinks, up to two complimentary hotel nights, special room rates and 20 status nights each year of membership.
A 30% discount would be the largest we’ve seen in a long while, though keep in mind you can get a Accor Plus Explorer membership for free with the AMEX HighFlyer Card or DBS Vantage Card, or by buying an AMEX My Travel Insurance policy.

From 17-29 September 2024, Accor Plus Traveller and Explorer memberships are on sale at 30% off the usual price. Recent sales have hovered around the 10% mark, so this the biggest offer we’ve seen in a while.
- 10-31 March 2024: 25% off Accor Plus Traveller and Explorer
- 5-18 February 2024: 10% off all memberships
- 9-15 November 2023: 11% off all memberships
- 26-29 October 2023: 10% off all memberships
- 7-17 September 2023: 2,500 bonus points for Accor Plus Explorer only
Unfortunately, there’s no similar offer for the Explorer Plus membership, so you’ll enjoy at most 1x Stay Plus certificate.
Do note that similar sales are available around the region, so if you stay in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, or any other country where Accor Plus memberships are sold, you can enjoy a similar 30% discount too.
What does an Accor Plus membership offer?
Accor Plus is a dining and lifestyle membership that offers members discounts on hotel stays and restaurants across Asia Pacific.
Standard Accor Plus benefits include:
- 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
- Membersโ exclusive experiences
- 20 status nights each year
Some examples of participating Accor Plus restaurants in Singapore include Prego, Mikuni and Asian Market Cafรฉ 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.
Stay Plus certificates are offered to Explorer (1 certificate) and Explorer Plus (2 certificates) members Each Stay Plus certificate can be used for a one-night stay at participating hotels across Asia Pacific. Obviously, you’ll want to save this for a high-end chain like Sofitel or Mondrian, and steer clear of the cheaper ones.
Do note that Stay Plus nights are subject to blackout dates, and you may not always be able to get the hotel you want.
I’ve written a comprehensive guide to using your Stay Plus benefit, which can be found below.
The 20 status nights are granted each membership year, which means you automatically qualify for ALL Silver status so long as you have Accor Plus. A further upgrade to ALL Gold is possible by staying 10 more nights, or ALL Platinum with 40 more nights.
| Status | Status Nights | Status Points |
 Silver |
10 | 2,000 (โฌ800 spend) |
 Gold |
30 | 7,000 (โฌ2,800 spend) |
 Platinum |
60 | 14,000 (โฌ5,600 spend) |
 Diamond |
N/A | 26,000 (โฌ10,400 spend) |
Here’s a quick recap of the benefits available at each tier of ALL.
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.
