Accor and Grab Partnership Allows Users to Convert GrabRewards Points into Accor Live Limitless (ALL) Points
Accor has just announced a partnership with Grab to allow members to convert their GrabRewards Points into Accor Live Limitless (ALL) Points. In recognition of Grab's reach in South East Asia, the newly-forged partnership will allow users to utilise their reward points at Accor hotels and resorts, restaurants and bars as well as the access a wide range of lifestyle experiences including concerts, food festivals, sporting events and exclusive ‘money can’t buy’ events designed by ALL.

To enjoy the benefits of this new partnership, members will have to first link their programmes and thereafter, they will be able to transfer 1,900 GrabRewards Points for 160 ALL Points. As many of you may already know, ALL members can convert 2,000 ALL Points for €40 (approximately S$60) so 160 points are worth only approximately S$4.80. Now, Grab will be devaluing its GrabRewards Points from 02 March 2020 and it will soon require 2,500 and 5,000 points for a S$5 and S$10 for a ride discount voucher so using your points for ALL Points is actually not terrible value from 02 March 2020.
