Accor super sale starts today with 30% off plus free breakfast for Leclub members (free membership) or 40% plus free breakfast for Accor Plus members (paid membership $349 per year).
Booking period is from 7th july to 30 November. As usual, it available at participating hotels woldwide and availability is limited so it is good to book early.
This is one of the better sales that accor has so well worth checking out the rates for future stays. This sale, unlike other sales, allows 'book with points' so its a great time to use Leclub points (2000 points gets $60 off).
Just some feedback & tips for anyone considering Accorplus (paid) membership.
I joined AccorPlus a year ago (during a previous supersale) & have got great value from my card so far.
The biggest benefit is a free night - especially if you plan to book a more expensive hotel. Note that not all expensive hotels participate in the free night. If you PM me dates & hotel I am happy to check free night availability before you join if you like.
The normal price for membership in Australia is now $385 (it used to be $349) but I joined via Fiji (PM if you would like the contact) & it was about A$200.
At this price its usually worth it for the free night alone (especially if you can use it for a night at a more expensive hotel or in a more expensive location or time of year). The extra 10% discount room discount plus 50% off food (even if you aren't staying there) is a great bonus.
I also found that the additional 10% off actually works out to be about 15% off the cheapest rate (because it is an additional 10% off the full price). Eg if flexible rate is $1000, 40% is $600 & 50% is $500 so AccorPlus members effectively save an additional 16.67% off the non-member rate. The additional 10% is also at all times, not just sales.
The 50% off food also makes breakfast at the expensive places much more reasonable (whereas normally you wouldn't have breakfast at the hotel & have to find somewhere else to eat).
