Hotel loyalty programs
Compare seven hotel programs and the way each prices a stay. Category charts, variable reward quotes and Accor's fixed cash discount work differently. Read the hotel-points comparison for booking conditions and examples, then use the hotel points vs cash tool.
Hotel points, explained
- How do hotel points differ from airline miles?
- Hotel programs use several redemption models. Some price eligible nights using a chart, others provide a variable reward quote, and Accor points reduce an eligible cash bill. Compare the room, occupancy, cancellation terms and total cash left to pay.
- How do the three hotel pricing models differ?
- A category or tier chart publishes points levels, although the applicable level can still vary by date. A variable reward quote must be checked for your room and dates. A cash discount has a stated conversion against an eligible bill, such as Accor's 2,000 points for EUR40 off.
- How do I know if a hotel redemption is good value?
- Subtract the reward's cash charges and extra costs from a comparable cash stay, divide by the points spent, then multiply by 100 for cents per point. Use the final whole-stay quote, including only benefits your account and booking qualify for.
