    Thanks OP.

  • redlikeapple on 08/06/2013 - 20:36

    I get "profile creation fail" :(

    • daniel46211 on 08/06/2013 - 20:39

      You may already have an account with them.. Is there a different email you could use?

      • redlikeapple on 08/06/2013 - 20:42

        yeah i have tried two different ones already

  • voteoften on 09/06/2013 - 06:19

    Thanks OP. I'm a member now. Can you tell me what "local amenity" means?

      I would say it is the "lady" waiting near Reception.

    • omgomgomgomg on 09/06/2013 - 07:37

      When you check in at the service desk they will offer you something like a bottle of wine, cheese platter, fruit bowl etc.

      You will get your card after your first stay.

  • atl1709 on 09/06/2013 - 08:44

    I signed up but it says that I'm just a gold member. Am I meant to do something else to get the platinum status?

  • shazfx on 09/06/2013 - 10:59

    Hi, Just wondering if anyone has tried booking and checked their membership if it is a legit Platinum membership? Bcoz previously with the Accor Hotel Platinum Club membership link on Ozbargain didn't quite work. Tried booking and checked my Accor Platinum membership and they said it's not approved due to getting it from an online thread.

    So yea, just wondering if this membership offer has been used and worked?

    • daniel46211 on 09/06/2013 - 14:22

      Hi, the status is reflected on your account immediately.. So I would say it's legit :)

  • skuzalbut on 09/06/2013 - 11:48

    Hi OP, I've joined and only got Gold membership, did I miss something in the sign-up process?

    • daydream on 09/06/2013 - 13:11

      I just tried and got Platinum (See membership level field). Have you joined before with the same email?

  • skuzalbut on 09/06/2013 - 13:35

    I've tried 2 emails now, one of them new, and still got gold, something weird is going on.

  • chickenchipsgravy on 09/06/2013 - 13:57

    can confirm just signed up and instant platinum, thanks OP.

  • Ron280 on 09/06/2013 - 14:25

    I did this last night and also got Platinum Status. Was looking at booking a ParkRoyal hotel but luckily I held off a couple of days. Thanks OP.

    • daniel46211 on 09/06/2013 - 14:41

      Not a problem, enjoy. Also, you can add your membership number after you've booked your room.

  • lynloveshazel on 09/06/2013 - 15:18

    Has this expired? I keep getting "profile creation fail"

    • daniel46211 on 09/06/2013 - 16:42

      Nope, I can confirm it's still working. Seems you're having the same problem as redlikeapple

      • lynloveshazel on 09/06/2013 - 17:38

        It's frustrating! any tips to show what I"m potentially doing wrong?

        • daniel46211 on 09/06/2013 - 19:32

          Have you tried a different browser?

          You also need to make sure you've filled out/select all the fields required & try a different username as the one you've chosen might have been taken.

          Hope this helps!

  • danielh on 09/06/2013 - 20:05

    Thanks. Used my ipad to join and have got the platinum status.

  • Yakuza85 on 09/06/2013 - 22:36

    Thanks OP!

  • MITM on 09/06/2013 - 23:26

    Got a platinum - thanks OP.
    My first stay I booked ages ago is 3 nights in Rydges Sydney - August. Then does platinum kick in ?
    coz local experience (Sydney) is a jet boat ride from Darling Harbour.

    Perhaps I should stay elsewhere first (ie home town) for 1 night as my 1st stay.

    • daniel46211 on 10/06/2013 - 10:46

      Since this a new account, you need to complete a stay with a GHA hotel first.

      • MITM on 10/06/2013 - 14:58

        Might have to stay 1night mid-week wotif locally, so I get the room upgrade and late check out and jetboat ride with my Sydney 3 night Aug w/e.
        OzB tip#241 spend a little to get a lot !

        • Trance N Dance on 10/06/2013 - 15:22

          Normally wotif rates don't qualify or credit to reward programs. They're usually limited to direct bookings through the hotel's or in the program's website. Should check with the hotel if the wotif rate will credit.

          Recognition of status on these rates is something else though, they might not count to your qualification nights but some programs still recognise the benefits. Something I'm trying to check atm.

    • tonester on 11/06/2013 - 02:29

      you're now platinum so show your status at check-in to receive benefits immediately :)

  • docpol on 10/06/2013 - 00:33

    Nice one. Missed out on the last deal so this is great. Thanks, OP!

  • Trance N Dance on 10/06/2013 - 11:21

    Thanks
    Just tried it and now I'm a plat member lol…

    I wonder if the membership would work with cheap wotif or hotelclub deals especially the wotif mystery deals.

    • tonester on 11/06/2013 - 02:30

      you're eligible to receive benefits regardless of booking method

      • Trance N Dance on 11/06/2013 - 10:50

        Do you this for a fact with GHA? Because I know that with other hotel chains this isn't the case as a lot of the rates published on websites like Wotif, HotelClub, etc are not eligible for credit to hotel programs.

        • tonester on 13/06/2013 - 13:56

          status benefits are different to earning credit/points :)

        • Trance N Dance on 13/06/2013 - 15:50

          Well I guess with the recent accor sale it's a toss between accor and GHA… lol

  • shellyrose on 10/06/2013 - 14:03

    I just signed up and got gold membership maybe it has finished

  • Ron280 on 10/06/2013 - 21:04

    Anyone know if I book through another website other than GHA for e.g. Orbitz, will I still be able to benefit from the Platinum status? Orbitz has a promo code sunfun15 for a 15% discount.

  • Sweet3st on 17/07/2013 - 11:06

    Just to confirm my platinum status got me a room upgrade and free wifi at Rydges Cairns.

    • daniel46211 on 20/07/2013 - 15:21

      Glad you found use for it and thanks for reporting back! :)
