Accor has now developed or acquired 40+ brands and has integrated many of them into the Accor Live Limitless guest loyalty program (fully or partially).

There are brands and specific hotels that don’t participate in the Accor Live Limitless (ALL), and there is a matrix on the number of points you earn at participating brands (20 different percentage levels!).

You can use Accor’s page to calculate the points you earn here.

Accor’s page states how many points you earn per 10 euros, and not per euro or USD, which is generally used by various programs.

As Accor’s awards are entirely dynamic, it is easiest to think of ALL points as a percentage of the paid rate you earn back. Remember that you do not earn points for sale or value-added taxes, service or resort fees, and other government-mandated real taxes.

You earn points for most incidentals you can charge to the hotel folio, such as laundry and hotel F&B charges (remember that some outlets may not be controlled by the hotel even when you can charge them to your room).

Accor Live Limitless Point Earnings

Note that onefinestay is partially Accor Live Limitless participating. Therefore, you earn 1 point per euro (2% back) but no elite bonuses or qualifying nights.

Some ibis Budget hotels are ALL participating that is indicated on Accor’s booking page/app.

Status (access Accor’s page for status levels here)

Remember that unless you always only stay at the brands that earn the full points, you need much higher spend to reach Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond tiers, or you need to reach them by night. You can only get Diamond status by spending a significant amount of cash.

Silver

• SILVER – WHEN YOU SPEND €800* ON STAYS AND SERVICES OR STAY AT LEAST 10 NIGHTS

Gold

• GOLD – WHEN YOU SPEND €2,800* ON STAYS AND SERVICES OR STAY AT LEAST 30 NIGHTS

Platinum

• PLATINUM – WHEN YOU SPEND €5,600* ON STAYS AND SERVICES OR STAY AT LEAST 60 NIGHTS

Diamond

• DIAMOND – WHEN YOU SPEND €10,400* ON STAYS AND SERVICES

Conclusion

It is confusing how many points you earn for Accor stays because it depends on the brand and your status level, and it also affects your qualifying spend toward status.

When we write about Accor’s various bonus offers for ALL members, the bonuses earned are counted based on the standard points you earn for the stay before the tier or other possible extras.

I wish that there would be more standard ways of earning ALL points. Right now, it varies anywhere between 1% to 10% depending on the brand and your status.
