Exclusivity, generosity, loyalty: the programme The AccorHotels Club rewards business travellers with a host of benefits, starting of course with free nights. Whether booked individually on AccorHotels.com or at the corporate rate, business travellers earn points when they stay at nearly 3,000 hotels worldwide. Valid for life, provided they make one reservation per year, these points entitle them to free nights, and can also be converted into airline miles or discounts and advantages with many of the programme's partners, key players in business travel.
These are not the only privileges reserved for members, as everyone who joins this free programme has access to preferential rates when booking on the AccorHotels website. Similarly, twice a year, private sales enable loyal customers to take advantage of exclusive 40% discounts on holidays. However, the AccorHotels Club goes beyond the hotel framework by offering travellers rewards that are tailored to them. Shopping fans can use their points to buy a multitude of trendy and high-tech brand-name objects and accessories from the La Collection by Le Club AccorHotels e-boutique and even earn points for their purchases from this e-boutique or from partner e-merchants. What's more, the points accumulated can also be transformed into unforgettable "Elites Experiences", such as attending one of the 200 events scheduled at the AccorHotels Arena every year under VIP conditions.
As the programme is 100% web, members can easily manage their account on the site. But this digital dimension also makes business travel easier. Programme members can check in online the day before their stay, so that the key is ready when they arrive. Departure from the hotel is also accelerated, as travellers simply need to drop off their key to check out, with the invoice sent by email.
The longer they stay, and the more they stay, members will be awarded Silver, Gold and Platinum status, which comes with exclusive services that are very useful for business travellers, such as the guarantee of a room available up to two or three days before arrival, late check-out and early arrival at no extra charge. These privileged members are also entitled to special attention to make their stay more pleasant, such as a VIP welcome, an upgrade to a superior category room and access to the lounge if it exists in the hotel.
Free nights, unforgettable moments, privileged status: all the benefits of the programme are also available to event organisers. In the same way as an individual client, a meeting planner accumulates points, not just for the nights spent, but for the entire event. Two euros spent are equivalent to one Le Club AccorHotels point and, in addition to the advantages already mentioned, the programme now offers the possibility of using these points to part-finance a future event. To make organising an event easier, the MonMeeting.com website offers a wealth of advice and good deals, while also geolocating hotels by destination.
