Now through September 30, 2021, you’ll get a 30% bonus when transferring hotel points to United miles. This isn’t good enough to justify transferring points from most programs. However, there’s one exception: Marriott Bonvoy. By stacking transfer bonuses, you can get 35,750 United miles per 60,000 Marriott points transferred.

If you’re an ALL member, there are several Accor ALL promotions to take advantage of this summer. Some are worldwide, while others are regional. I’m sure there will be at least one promotion on this list you’ll be able to take advantage of if you plan to stay at an Accor Hotel in the next few months.

Officially, yes, if you have no eligible stays in Accor properties over a 12-month period, your points will expire. However, based on the evidence we have seen, any points earning activity will extend the life of your points by 12 months from the date of that activity.

Through the Accor/Flying Blue partnership, you can “double-dip” on Accor stays and Air France/KLM flights. Here’s how to link your accounts so that you can start earning Flying Blue miles on your Accor stays and ALL points on your flights.

Until April 30, you’ll get a 50% transfer bonus when converting points from your Accor or Marriott account to your Etihad Guest account. While this deal won’t be for everyone, don’t blow it off just because you don’t plan to travel to (or through) the Middle East. There are plenty of Etihad Guest sweet spots that don’t touch the Middle East.

Le Club Accor has announced that you can now transfer points between Club Eurostar and Le Club Accor. Since most Accor properties are in Europe, this potentially is good news for European travelers wanting a little more flexibility in their points.

Accor Hotels has announced a promotion where you’ll earn 4x points for stays at “new” Accor properties. The promotion is valid for stays from October 15, 2018, through January 13, 2019. Although if you want to take advantage of the promotion, you will have to hurry, since you need to register and book prior to October 10, 2018.

Accor Hotels has announced a promotion where you will receive up to 6,000 point bonus for completing three stays. The promotion is valid for stays through January 14, 2019; however, bookings for the promotion must be made prior to October 7, 2018.

Fairmont President’s Club and Le Club Accor Hotels have confirmed that their loyalty programs will be rolled into one on July 2, 2018. As you can see it with the current SPG Marriott merger, when handled well, program mergers can produce some new opportunities, but can also have some downsides.
