What the Heck Is the A Club and How Can We Join?

August 2, 2010 at 10:45 AM | by | Comments (0)

Stay at the Sofitel Rio, and you can join the A Club.

When we first heard about the A Club, we wondered whether it was anything like the A-Team. We hoped it had something to do with Bradley Cooper. Alas, the two aren't related. But we couldn't be too bummed because the A Club is actually the new loyalty program for Accor Hotels, and we love hotel loyalty programs just as much as A-Team's pretty Face.

A Club gives you rewards at more than 2,000 hotels worldwide, including the Sofitel brand. For every dollar or Euro spent at a Sofitel a Pullman, a Gallery Novotel, a Suite Novotel, a Mercure and an Adagio hotel, you'll earn two points. You get awarded one point for every dollar or Euro spent at Ibis or All Seasons hotels.

The program has four levels: plain old A Club, A Club Silver, A Club Gold and A Club Platinum. As far as perks, the Silver status—which requires 10 nights in A Club hotels—will get you a drink and gift upon check-in at a Sofitel hotel. The 30-night Gold level goes beyond and offers late check-out and guaranteed room availability if you book at least five days before your arrival date.

Platinum peeps who stay at least 60 nights receive upgraded rooms. Of course, the program offers special deals to earn you more stuff, like a recent promotion that triples your points through September if you try out the Suite Novotel in Luxembourg.

The points don't expire if you stay in one of the approved hotels at least once a year. You can join the A Club for free online.
