Conclusion
The discount may sound good, but there are always discounted rates available during the sales or if you book in advance. The discounts that come with these cards mainly work for business travelers who book on short notice when no other than the best flexible rates are available.
The 10 elite qualifying nights with ALL PLUS ibis and 20 with ALL PLUS Voyageur significantly help ALL members to qualify for a meaningful status (you can think of these cards as buying elite qualifying nights).
Not sure why only less than half of the Accor brands are participating in this discount scheme, although the participating brands comprise most hotels (non-participating brands are much smaller).
