Accor is a straightforward program with a large footprint outside of the U.S.
The best ways to earn Accor points are by staying at Accor properties or transferring from one of their credit card partners. You can also earn points through various other partners — like vacation stays, safaris, and car rentals, but none are high-value methods.
How many points you earn depends on which property you stay at and whether you hold elite status with Accor Live Limitless. See the chart below:
Charts like this can be confusing, so another easy option is to use the online calculator. Go here and scroll to “Calculate the number of points for your next stay.” Enter your stay details to see your exact earnings.
While none transfer at 1:1 ratios, Accor points redeem at 2 Euro cents per point, so these transfers can still deliver solid value.

Instead of its usual transfer bonus, Bilt's August 1 Rent Day promotion offers a status match with ALL Accor. Members without status or with Silver status can transfer 5,000 Bilt points to receive Accor Silver status, Gold members can transfer 5,000 Bilt points (which become 3,333 Accor points) to match to Accor Gold, and Platinum members can transfer 15,000 Bilt points (10,000 Accor points) to match to Accor Platinum. Bilt transfers to Accor at a 3:2 ratio, and Accor points have a fixed redemption value of 2 euro cents each. Matches to Silver and Gold status will be good for 12 months, while matches to Platinum will be good through December 31, 2027). Each level of elite status offers varying perks, like room upgrades, late checkout, welcome amenities, lounge access, and suite upgrade certificates, among others. We rarely advise transferring speculatively, but this is a bit of a different situation as status comes with each transfer. If you will have any Accor stays coming up in the next year, this may be a worthwhile use of points.
Participating bank and hotel rewards programs are offering a 10% transfer bonus to Cathay Pacific Asia Miles.

The bonus is capped at 10,000 Asia Miles per member across all participating partners combined. Registration is required. Offer expires August 28, 2026. Bonuses may not be instant, as they will be credited within approximately 12 weeks after the transfers are made.

Register here by July 31, 2026 for stays between July 3 and September 13, 2026. ALL Accor has one of the most straightforward loyalty programs, with points redeeming at a fixed value of €0.02 each. That means 1,000 bonus points are worth €20, while the maximum 5,000- or 7,500-point bonuses are worth €100 and €150, respectively.
Citi ThankYou Rewards is offering a 50% transfer bonus to Accor Live Limitless. The standard transfer ratio is 2:1, so with the bonus, you’ll receive 750 Accor Live Limitless points for every 1,000 Citi ThankYou Rewards points transferred. Offer expires July 18, 2026.
The best way to redeem Accor points is for stays at Accor properties. Redemptions are simple, since all points are fixed at a value of 2 Euro cents per point. To search for a room, go to the Accor site and enter your travel details. If you have points in your account, you’ll see an option to apply them at checkout. The minimum redemption is 2000 points, which gives you 40€ off your stay.
If you don’t have points at the time of booking but will earn them before your stay, you can apply them later during checkout. You can also call Customer Care and redeem points over the phone.
If you don’t have enough points to cover the entire stay, you can pay the remaining balance in cash at a straight 1:1 ratio. For example:

We don’t usually recommend transferring hotels points to airlines due to poor conversion value. But if your points are expiring, you can move them to select airline partners—Flying Blue, Iberia, or Virgin Australia—at a 1:1 ratio
The Accor Live Limitless program is best for travelers who spend a lot of time abroad, especially in Europe and Asia. Accor has a huge global footprint with more than 4000 properties and a wide range of brands from budget to luxury. Their hotels work well for both business and leisure travelers, and brand consistency is a strong selling point.
You won’t find outsized value with Accor redemptions, but you will find a simple, transparent system. All points redeem at a fixed 2 Euro cents per point, which is higher than most hotel programs. Being able to mix points and cash with a predictable value makes redemptions easy and reliable.
Where Accor falls short is on the earning side. There are no co-branded credit cards for U.S. customers, and transfer partners are limited. Bilt, Capital One, and Citi all transfer to Accor, but none at 1:1 ratios, which cuts into the value of that fixed redemption rate. The loyalty program is solid, but unless you travel internationally often, especially outside the U.S., earning meaningful status will be difficult. It’s a program worth knowing, but it won’t be a top pick for most U.S.-based travelers.
Accor has five levels of elite status. Classic, the entry tier, is what you receive when you sign up for a free account.
As a Classic member, you:
To reach higher tiers, you must either stay a certain number of qualifying nights per year or earn enough Status Points. You earn a certain number of Status Points per 10€ spent on each stay. The number varies from property to property, and you will earn more status points based on the higher Elite Status Tier you hold.
Here are the four other elite status levels for Accor Live Limitless, what it takes to reach each level, and benefits of each
Yes, it is free to join Accor Live Limitless. You receive Classic status when you sign up, which allows you to earn and redeem points. To reach Silver status, you must stay 10 nights at Accor properties or earn 2000 Status Points in a year.
Accor uses a fixed-value system where each point is worth 2 Euro cents, so 2000 points equals 40€. You won’t get outsized redemptions like with Hyatt, but the simplicity and strong fixed value make it a reliable program for straightforward redemptions.
Accor includes 54 hotel brands ranging from budget to luxury, with more than 4000 properties in 100+ countries. Their U.S. footprint is small, but they are strong in Europe and Asia. If you travel abroad often, you may already be familiar with Accor hotels.
If you’re based in the U.S. and travel internationally for work, Accor would be a good program to join. You’ll find a large global footprint and many hotel types. With no co-branded card, most points come from stays, making frequent travel the best path to earning rewards.
