Back in May, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/points-of-interest-may-2026\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Amex UK added Accor as a transfer partner<\/a>. More often than not, other countries follow suit shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, this assumption was correct. On July 22, American Express and Accor <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.americanexpress.com\/en-us\/newsroom\/articles\/travel-and-dining\/american-express-and-all-accor-expand-the-power-of-membership-wi.html\" rel=\"noopener\">announced a new global partnership<\/a>, featuring elite status matches and points transfers for cardholders in one of 12 countries.<\/p>\n<p>However, the rollout is fairly disjointed \u2014 some parts of the partnership are already live, while others will roll out in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Here's what we know about the new Amex and Accor partnership so far, including a timeline and which cardholders are eligible.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Expanded_American_Express_and_ALL_Accor_Global_Partnership\">Expanded American Express and ALL Accor Global Partnership<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The new partnership between American Express and ALL Accor features elite status matching and point transfers, and it is certainly global.
