How to Reinstate Expired Accor Points

How to Reinstate Expired Accor Points

Accor Live Limitless (ALL) points are valuable, but they expire after 12 months of inactivity. If your points have expired, there may still be a way to recover them. Here’s a concise guide based on a real customer experience.

Understanding Accor’s Expiry Policy

  • Reward points are valid for 12 months from their date of registration.
  • The validity is extended by 365 days each time new Reward points are credited.
  • If no eligible transaction occurs within a year, the points expire with no possibility of restoration or transfer.

How to Reinstate Expired Points

1. Contact Accor Customer Support

  • Reach out to Accor’s ALL customer care to explain your case.
  • While reinstatement is not guaranteed, exceptions can be made under specific conditions.

2. Make an Eligible Stay (If Offered a Reinstatement Option)

  • Accor may offer to reinstate your points if you complete an eligible stay within three months.
  • After your stay, reply to the email or submit a copy of your paid invoice to confirm the transaction.

3. Prevent Future Expiry

To keep your points active, ensure you engage in one of these transactions annually:

  • Book an eligible stay (not fully paid in points).
  • Dine at an Accor hotel bar/restaurant.
  • Organize an event through the ALL Meeting Planner offer.
  • Use partner services, including shopping and travel partners.
  • Convert airline miles or partner points to ALL points.
  • Use the ALL – ADCB credit card (where applicable).

Key Takeaway

While Accor’s policy states that expired points cannot be restored, exceptions are possible if you engage with customer service and make a qualifying transaction. To avoid losing points in the future, ensure you engage in at least one earning activity every 12 months.
