Update on Accor A|Plus free status

Last year I blogged I had been offered gold status in APlus due to my old Sofitel Privilege membership, plus 500 free points.



It took a long time but the points were finally posted late last year. Unfortunately the status offer has been rescinded. It sounded too good to be true (free mid-level status when I hadn't even used my Privilege card) and so it has turned out. Easy come, easy go.



As with most other hotel chains they are trying to drum up business at the moment with bonus point offers.
