Accor All Plus China 30-night credit promotion (instant Platinum status)

Accor has a paid membership program called All Plus in China – not to be confused with All Plus Ibis and All Plus Voyageur – which offers stay benefits for hotels in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau.

The program has three products, with different prices and benefits. Most importantly, all of them come with Accor status night credits too – this was a new change introduced earlier this year, which appears to be a permanent perk now.

The 超悦 Suprem membership for example, which is the most expensive one (2698 RMB), offers Accor Gold status in the form of 30 night credits. There are two cheaper tiers that will award you 20 nights / 5 nights respectively. You can mix and match with two or multiple purchases, but the maximum night credit you can earn in a calendar year is 30.

You can combine it with Accor’s other paid schemes to accrue a big number of night credits quickly. One option is Accor Plus, which fast forwards you to 50 nights:

Alternatively, and a potentially better strategy is to purchase both All Plus Ibis and All Plus Voyageur as well, and the three all together will earn you 60 night credits, just enough for Accor Platinum! You don’t need to stay a single night, just pay ~€600 for the three memberships.

The catch is, All Plus China can only be purchased via Wechat and 飞猪 Fliggy. Here are the instructions on how to buy it.

1. Wechat

Simply scan the following QR code in Wechat, which redirects you to the product page in Accor’s Wechat mini-program.

If you click the three dots on the top right corner there’s a Translation tool that should translate the app text for you.

2. 飞猪 Fliggy

This is the product page. You need to create an Alibaba / Fliggy account first.

3. Alipay

The last option is Fliggy’s mini app on Alipay, Alibaba’s payment service. Open the Alipay app, and put 飞猪 in the search bar:

Open the 飞猪 Fliggy mini app, and put 臻享卡 in the search bar:

The first result is the Suprem membership. Similar to Wechat, Alipay also has a translation feature that produces an English overlay on your screen which can be very helpful.

Some notes:

• Before purchasing you need to link your Accor account in the respective app. You cannot purchase the product for someone else
• You can claim a refund, even after having activated the product
• If you claim a refund, the night credits will be crawled back

I’m not too sure how easy the refund procedure is, but it seems more complicated than just clicking a button and you probably need to talk to someone in their online chat or over phone, so keep that in mind.

There’s no restriction on who can purchase the membership. For example your Accor account address doesn’t need to be in China. The All Plus card is very useful if you visit China – the two free night vouchers earn you back the cost themselves, let alone other benefits such as 50%-off vouchers, lounge access vouchers and dining discount.

P.S. there might be some issues with Apple ID (?) or residency in certain countries. There are some discussions in this Twitter thread by @ankurmittal.
