Is Accor's new travel subscription program worth it?
The viability of the travel subscription model took a step forward this week when Paris-based Accor rolled out a global plan called ALL Plus
Usually, travel loyalty programs require members to stay nights, fly miles and spend money in order to move up the food chain. However, Accor's new ALL Plus subscription works under the “pay for perks” model: Users pay a fee to get several of the benefits usually reserved for certain loyalty program tiers.
Key takeaways
- Accor’s Silver status' benefits are pretty standard entry-level fare: a welcome drink, late checkout and priority check-in;
- However, guaranteed room availability two days before check-in, even at fully booked hotels, is a Platinum-level benefit from ALL, so that’s a strong benefit to the new program;
- The subscription's fixed discounts are a strong selling point, even though all travelers can get a 2% to 10% discount on stays, depending on the property, just by signing up for Accor's loyalty program.
