Buying Le Club Accorhotels Gold Elite Status
You used to be able to get immediate Platinum Elite status on the Le Club Accorhotels loyalty program when you hold a minimum of 50 Accor shares. At the time of writing, Accor shares are worth €41.50 each and therefore 50 Accor shares should set you back around €2,075 (approx. S$3,200). This benefit has been revised earlier this year and holding the Accor shares will now only give you the Gold Elite status. Instead of putting that money into an investment, did you know that you can purchase the Gold Elite status from Accor for a mere €90?

However, with Hilton’s introduction of Diamond Reserve, my strategy for 2026 is shifting. Here is a breakdown of my nights, status retention plans, and why I am prioritising World of Hyatt and Marriott Bonvoy in the new year.
