Accor Hotels is celebrating the addition of Fairmont, Raffles and
Swissotel hotel to their Le Club AccorHotels program with this new
bonus! Officially the three hotels from the FRHI group join Le Club
AccorHotels on July 2nd and that’s when this bonus kicks in. It will also mark the end of the much beloved Fairmont President’s Club. As long the
hotel is participating and you’ve registered for this offer you’ll earn
the bonus.
If you are unfamiliar with the workings of Le Club AccorHotels, you earn points on your stays like most hotel programs and then you can redeem those points at rate of 2,000 points for EUR40 off your hotel bill. That means this 1,000 point bonus is worth EUR20 or about C$30. That’s not a bad bonus at all! Granted most Fairmont Hotels aren’t the cheapest to stay at over the summer months, I’m thinking Banff and Lake Louise where you’re lucky if you can get a rate under $300. You will also have to factor in the base earn rate which is awarded as follow:
Classic members earn 25 points per €10
Silver members earn 31 points per €10
Gold members earn 37 points per €10
Platinum members earn 44 points per €10
The 1,000 point bonus is equivalent to 500 Aeroplan miles as Le Club AccorHotels points can be converted to Aeroplan (4,000 points = 2,000 miles) so that is also an option you can take advantage of.
