Beginner’s Guide to redeeming ALL Accor Reward points for accommodation

If you’re new to using ALL Reward points, this guide will help you understand how easy it is to redeem your points for great-value hotel stays across Accor’s hotel brands. Let’s dive in!

What is ALL Accor?

ALL is Accor’s free loyalty program offering benefits beyond hotel stays. Members earn Reward points for various Accor experiences, including dining, drinks, and live events. The program aims to provide a “limitless lifestyle” for both travellers and locals.

Understanding Accor ALL Reward points 

ALL Accor is Accor’s loyalty program. Their points currency is called ALL Reward points. The program operates on a revenue-based system, which means:

1. ALL Reward points have a fixed monetary value.
2. The value of points is not tied to specific nights or room types.
3. You can use points flexibly based on the cash price of your stay.

This system allows for more straightforward redemption and greater flexibility when using your points for hotel stays.

2,000 ALL Reward Points equates to a €40 discount on your stay (equates to roughly $65 AUD)

What Accor brands can I use my points with? 

Accor boasts over 50 hotel brands, collectively encompassing over 5,500 properties in over 100 countries.

The hotels cover all market segments, from economy options like Ibis and Novotel to luxury experiences at Sofitel, Fairmont, and Raffles. Enjoy the unique offerings of 25 Hours and Mama Shelter, or the elegance of Banyan Tree and MGallery.

Whether you seek a boutique atmosphere at 21C Museum Hotels or the timeless charm of Orient-Express, Accor has something for everyone. Experience exceptional hospitality across diverse settings and styles. 

Why convert PayRewards Points to ALL Reward points?

1. No blackout dates (Use your points 365 days of the year) 
2. Excellent value and a great flexible use of your PayRewards Points  
3. Unlike searching for reward seats with airlines, finding a hotel/room/stay is a piece of cake. You have the freedom to pick what you like. 
4. Accor’s system lets you pay partially with points, providing flexibility in how much cash you spend. 
5. If you regularly stay with Accor Hotels or its partners, using PayRewards points is a way to maximise your benefits and enjoy the perks of loyalty.

2. Search for your desired hotel and dates
3. Look for the option to pay with points
4. Choose to pay entirely with points or a combination of points and cash

Calculating Required Points

1. Determine the Total Cost:
   • Check the price per night for your selected dates. Make sure to capture all inclusions such as add-ons, taxes and fees.
2. Calculate the Discount:
   • Divide the total cost by €40 to find the 2,000-point increments needed.
   • Example: €200 hotel cost ÷ €40 = 5 increments; 5 x 2,000 points = 10,000 ALL Points.
3. Convert to PayRewards Points:
   • Multiply ALL Points by 4.
   • Example: 10,000 ALL Points x 4 = 40,000 PayRewards Points. This is how many PayRewards Points you’ll need to convert.

Tips for Maximising Your Points

• Look for bonus point promotions
• Consider using your points for upgraded rooms or suites
• Opt-in to earn 2 points per dollar on your business payments through pay.com.au
• Research other ways to earn ALL points on top of earning PayRewards
• Aim for higher membership tiers to earn points faster and enjoy more benefits

Important considerations

• Cancellation policies: Be aware of the cancellation policies associated with your booking, as they can affect your ability to use points or receive refunds. 

• Usage Restrictions: Ensure that you understand any restrictions related to the type of booking and payment methods when redeeming your points.
