Le Club AccorHotels and Air France-KLM have launched a partnership called Miles+Points that allows each others members to earn bonus points and miles.
Members must link accounts and then Flying Blue members earn bonus miles for Accor stays and Le Club AccorHotels members bonus points for Air France, KLM and HOP! Flights.
You can access and link your accounts here.
Earning Le Club AccorHotels bonus points:
Le Club AccorHotels members earn, regardless of Accor or Flying Blue status, five points for every 10 euros paid for Air France, KLM and HOP! flights.
Earning Air France-KLM Flying Blue bonus miles:
Flying Blue members earn 10 miles per 10 euros at Accor’s full service brands. The earnings are lower for select service.
Welcome Gift
Le Club AccorHotels members can earn 2 nights and Air France-KLM Flying Blue members 10 Experience Points for staying and flying once during the program.
Conversion
You can convert 4,000 Flying Blue miles to 1,000 Le Club AccorHotels points or 2,000 Le Club AccorHotels points to 1,000 Flying Blue miles.
Conclusion
Hyatt has a partnership with American Airlines and United with Marriott. Both of theM offer reciprocal elite benefits for top tier members. Accor’s partnership with Air France-KLM has none.
It is good to earn some bonus miles and points for Accor stays and Air France-KLM flights. This won’t make me, however, to use service of these companies more that is likely the intended purpose.
