Accor and Flying Blue now have a promotion to earn even more bonus points and miles with hotel stays and flights through their partnership. With the Air France–KLM and Accor Hotels' “Miles + Points” partnership, travelers can earn Accor Live Limitless (ALL) points for Air France–KLM flights and Flying Blue miles for Accor stays.

Air France–KLM and Accor Hotels “Miles + Points” Partnership

In June 2019, Air France and KLM Airlines teamed up with Accor Hotels to allow members to earn points for both rewards programs when flying with either airline or staying at participating Accor Hotels.

All you need to do is pair your Flying Blue (Air France–KLM rewards program) and Accor Live Limitless (ALL) accounts, and you'll automatically start earning points and miles.

You can link your accounts either through the ALL Rewards or Flying Blue websites. Simply log into your account, then use the module provided to log into the other account. Once you're logged into both accounts using the module, you can link your accounts. Both accounts must be registered with the same name (first and surname).

Earn Accor points for Air France–KLM flights

For every 2 euros (~$2.15) you spend on Air France and KLM flights, you will earn 1 ALL Rewards point.

Earn Flying Blue miles for Accor stays

For every 1 euro you spend at participating Accor Hotels, you will earn 1 Flying Blue mile.

This can be a great way to get activity in your Flying Blue account and push out the expiration of your Flying Blue miles.

Convert points between programs

You can also transfer points between the rewards programs. However, the conversion rates are poor. I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you are desperate for the points in the other account:

• Convert 2,000 ALL Rewards points into 2,000 Flying Blue miles (minimum 2,000 points) after a 2022 improvement.
• Convert 4,000 Flying Blue miles into 1,000 ALL Rewards points (minimum 4,000 points)

ALL Rewards points take 10 days to transfer to Flying Blue miles, while Flying Blue miles convert to ALL Rewards points instantaneously. Both transfers are non-reversible.

Earning status nights and XP

Once you've linked your accounts, a.k.a. participated in the Miles+Points program, you will be eligible for additional bonuses. After you take your first flight with Air France or KLM and/or stay at your first Accor Hotel, you will earn:

• 5 XP credited to your Flying Blue account, and
• 1 Status Night credited to your ALL Rewards account

You'll get this “welcome gift” for each action. In other words, you receive both the XP and the status night twice — once for the flight and once for the hotel stay.

If you withdraw from the Miles+Points program and then resubscribe, you will not be eligible to receive these rewards again.

500 Bonus Points and/or 1,000 Bonus Miles Promotion

Usually around this time of the year, Miles + Points has a promotion offering bonus points and miles to members linking their accounts for the first time. Right now, members who link their accounts can earn 500 bonus ALL points on their next stay and/or 1,000 bonus Flying Blue miles on their next flight. Members must link their accounts before October 15, 2023 and then complete their stay/flight before November 15, 2023. The offer states that members must link their accounts, so it can be assumed it is not available to members with accounts already linked.

Terms and conditions

• Members must link their ALL and Flying Blue accounts before October 15, 2023.
• Thereafter, complete a stay and/or flight before November 15, 2023.
• Earn 500 bonus points on an eligible stay and/or 1,000 bonus miles on an eligible flight.
• Bonus ALL points and Flying Blue miles will post within six weeks after completing the stay/flight.
• Stays can be as short as one night.
• No stipulations are given for eligible flights.
• Award stays or stays at onefinestay are not eligible for this offer.

Our Take

If you haven't already linked your accounts, consider doing so before October 15 to get the bonus points and miles after your first stay and flight before November 15, 2023.

I'm a big fan of Flying Blue, although I prefer KLM over Air France. My first Air France flight was from Scotland to Cancun via Paris. While the transatlantic flight was far from comfortable, the Flying Blue rewards program has been good to me. Also, Air France has some advantages, such as launching the first flight with eco-fuel (made from used cooking oils).

Getting both miles and points together without any further work than signing up is a great deal. Are you a member of both rewards programs? Will you be taking advantage of the Miles+Points promotion?
