Free Accor Le Club Platinum on signup (September offer)
It’s raining elite status!
It has been a week of free elite status deals, beginning with the instant Hilton HHonors Silver (with complimentary Gold after just 4 stays), to the free Marriott Rewards Silver status on signup. While both of these were targeted at Accenture employees, both programs seem to have no process for verifying employment status, and so in a sense, these are quite freely usable. Caveat emptor, though!
LoyaltyLobby is to be thanked for the next in this line of statuses, which is the Platinum with Accor LeClub. Now, Accor keeps coming out with such free Platinum status deals every once in a while, which could be useful. Here’s the link to the signup page. Just remember, that this is applicable to new accounts only. You cannot use this link to upgrade an existing non-Platinum account to a Platinum account. I know that’s a shame, but that’s what it is. But Accor does have 13 properties across India, at these locations:
I’d like to remind you, that there are significant perils involved if you register for Platinum this way (ie, on the promo link) and then attempt to link / merge it with an existing account that’s not Platinum. Loyalty Lobby reports of instances where this has actually happened – you can read his post here.
