Bad News: Effective Apr 30, 2016, the card member of AmEx Platinum will no longer get the benefit of complimentary Le Club AccorHotels' Platinum Elite membership. It is a big loss (at least for me), especially considering AccorHotels just acquired the Fairmont Hotels.
IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN LE CLUB ACCORHOTELS’ PLATINUM TIER MEMBERSHIP AND YOUR MEMBERSHIP EXPIRES ON, OR BEFORE APRIL 30, 2016, LE CLUB ACCORHOTELS WILL OFFER YOU ONE (1) ADDITIONAL COMPLIMENTARY MEMBERSHIP YEAR IN THEIR PLATINUM TIER, WITH NO MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. TO PRESERVE YOUR PLATINUM TIER MEMBERSHIP AFTER YOUR COMPLIMENTARY YEAR COMES TO AN END, YOU WILL NEED TO FULFIL THE LE CLUB ACCORHOTELS QUALIFYING CRITERIA, DETAILS OF WHICH CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.ACCORHOTELS.COM/LECLUB.
IF YOUR MEMBERSHIP EXPIRES ON, OR AFTER MAY 1, 2016, YOU’LL BE ABLE TO RETAIN YOUR PLATINUM TIER MEMBERSHIP PROVIDED THAT YOU HAVE MET LE CLUB ACCORHOTELS’ QUALIFYING CRITERIA. DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF NIGHTS STAYED OR POINTS EARNED, LE CLUB ACCORHOTELS WILL ASSESS YOUR MEMBERSHIP AND ENROLL YOU INTO THE APPROPRIATE TIER IN ACCORDANCE WITH LE CLUB ACCORHOTELS TERMS AND CONDITIONS AVAILABLE ON WWW.ACCORHOTELS.COM/LECLUB. IF YOU ARE NOT YET A MEMBER, LE CLUB ACCORHOTELS WILL OFFER YOU ONE (1) COMPLIMENTARY YEAR OF THEIR PLATINUM TIER MEMBERSHIP IF YOU ENROLL BY APRIL 15, 2016.
