What is ALL Accor Elite Status?

ALL Accor elite status is a tiered program within the larger ALL Accor loyalty program. Every time you stay at an eligible ALL Accor property, you earn Status points (in addition to ALL Accor loyalty points) and Status nights that help you access increasingly valuable elite benefits.

The ALL Accor status tiers are structured into the following five levels: Classic, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. As you move up each level, the perks you can access get better and better, and they include things like room/suite upgrades, early check-in/late check-out, complimentary breakfast, hotel lounge access, and more.

To access each elite tier, you must meet a set threshold for either Status points or Status nights within the calendar year. Once you’ve reached an elite status, you will immediately have access to the associated perks, and you’ll maintain your status for the rest of that calendar year and the full calendar year that follows.

For example, if you qualify for Gold status in October 2026, you’ll enjoy that status for the rest of 2026 and for the entirety of 2027.

How to Earn ALL Accor Elite Status

Your ALL Accor elite level is based on the number of qualifying Status nights stayed at ALL Accor properties or the number of Status points earned, as follows:

  • Silver: 2,000 Status points or 10 nights
  • Gold: 7,000 Status points or 30 nights
  • Platinum: 14,000 Status points or 60 nights
  • Diamond: 26,000 Status points

Status points are earned based on how much you spend on your stays and which brand you stay with:

  • Earn 5 Status points per €10 with Adagio Access, Jo&Joe, and Greet
  • Earn 10 Status points per €10 with Mantra, Peppers, Breakfree, Art Series, Adagio Original, and long-stay brands
  • Earn 12.5 Status points per €10 with ibis, ibis styles, and Mama Shelter
  • Earn 25 Status points per €10 at all other participating brands

You can also earn elite status by staying a set number of Status nights. You should receive one Status night for every night you stay at a participating property when you include your member number with the booking. Additionally, ALL Accor will sometimes run promotions that let you earn extra Status nights for staying during a specific time-frame or at specific properties.

How to Earn Status Faster

For fans of ALL Accor that are interested in enjoying elite status without necessarily having to meet the Status points or Status nights requirements, there are a few options to access fast-tracked perks.

First, a fairly low effort way to enjoy ALL Accor status is sign up for a credit card that offers the status as part of its perks package. In Canada, this option is set to become available at some point in the second half of 2026 via the American Express Platinum Card®.

As part of the new partnership between American Express Canada and ALL Accor, the American Express Platinum Card® will provide automatic Gold status to cardholders. However, this card does come with a considerable annual fee of $799 and a high minimum income requirement, so this option might not be the best choice for most people.

Another way to get ALL Accor Gold status without earning the required Status points or staying 30 nights is by buying ALL Accor stock market shares. If you hold at least 50 bearer shares or 1 registered share, you can request access to the Accor Shareholder’s Club, giving you Gold status. This is one of the more unique ways to enjoy hotel loyalty status, so check out our guide for a full explanation on how it works.

ALL Accor+

Another option for accessing elite status is ALL Accor+, an annual subscription service that offers select perks for a fee. Conveniently for members looking to score elite status, each of the 3 subscriptions levels come with a set number of Status nights to help you meet the thresholds.

The ALL Accor+ subscription levels are:

  • ALL Accor+ ibis: For €99/year, you get 10 Status nights (getting you immediate Silver status), 15% off ibis brand hotels, and more
  • ALL Accor+ Voyager: For €179/year, you get 20 Status nights (getting you immediate Silver status), 15% off 30+ hotel brands, and more.
  • ALL Accor+ Explorer: For €215/year, you get 30 Status nights (getting you immediate Gold status), 15% off 30+ hotel brands, 2 free nights at participating Asia-Pacific hotels, and more.

ALL Accor+ represents the most affordable and easiest way to elite status, with the membership essentially selling you Silver or Gold status (plus other benefits) for €99 to €215 per year.

Another thing to keep in mind is that ALL Accor runs promotions throughout the year offering bonus Status nights when you book and stay within a select time frame, at select hotel brands, or for a specific number of nights. This can be an excellent way to easily build up your Status night total and reach the next elite tier faster.

Is ALL Accor Elite Status Worth It?

Whether or not it’s worth it to chase ALL Accor elite status depends a lot on how much effort it will take you to earn and whether you can take advantage of the benefits on offer.

For Canadians who mostly travel domestically, the ALL Accor footprint is fairly small, so there’s fewer opportunities to earn and use status. However, the ALL Accor properties that exist in Canada are some of the country’s most notable, and having status could get you room upgrades, early check-in/late check-out (more time at the property), and more.

If you’re travelling abroad, ALL Accor has properties in over 100 countries, so there’s more chances to enjoy a boosted experience if your next trip involves staying at hotels under the Accor Hotel Group umbrella.

That said, accessing the first elite levels of Silver or Gold status requires that you stay at an eligible property for least 10 nights or spend a minimum of €800 at eligible properties, or, alternatively, that you sign up for ALL Accor+ at €99 (~$160), or hold the premium American Express Platinum Card® once the perk is added in the second half of 2026.

Given this, if planning a trip that includes a lot of ALL Accor properties, it may be worthwhile looking at an ALL Accor+ membership if you think you can utilize the possible room upgrades, early check-in, and late check-out.

However, status is generally not worth pursuing for its own sake since it doesn’t really add a ton of real dollar value at the first couple of levels; mostly it just makes your trip a little more fancy and lets you earn a few more points that can save you money down the road.

Bottom Line

ALL Accor’s elite statuses can be a nice way to enjoy some extra perks during your stays at hotels around the world. Potentially giving you access to room upgrades, early check-in, late check-out, complimentary breakfast, and more, elite status can make any stay a bit more luxurious and relaxing.

Although pursuing elite status for its own sake is probably not worth it for most travellers, if you’re able to snag status through the American Express Platinum Card®, with the ALL Accor+ program, or by staying the requisite number of nights, you’ll enjoy some welcome rewards.

To get more of a sense of ALL Accor’s properties, we recommend you take a look at our reviews and guides below. You can also peruse our list of the best credit cards in Canada to find more ways to earn rewards, save money, and enjoy some perks. Plus don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date on exciting travel news.

Your tier also sets the base that current promotions apply to. Until September 13, 2026, ALL Accor doubles or triples Reward points on 2-night stays in Europe, and the higher your status, the larger the bonus.

The American Express Cobalt® Card is the best credit card from American Express, whether you want points for travel or cash back.

American Express Cobalt® Card welcome offer

The welcome bonus is paid out monthly over your first 12 months. You earn 1,250 Membership Rewards points for each monthly billing period in which you charge $750 in net purchases to your card, in any category (1X, 2X, 3X or 5X). That adds up to 15,000 Membership Rewards points over the year, a welcome offer we value at $255.

Earning the full bonus means $9,000 in net purchases spread across 12 monthly billing periods. This offer rewards steady monthly spending rather than one large purchase.

You can use these points as statement credits on everyday or travel purchases, at the same rate either way: 1,000 points = $10.

You can also transfer them to Aeroplan, Avios (British Airways and Qatar Airways), Flying Blue, Marriott Bonvoy or Hilton Honors. With the full welcome bonus, that is a choice between:

  • 15,000 Aeroplan points
  • 15,000 Avios points
  • 15,000 Flying Blue Miles
  • 18,000 Marriott Bonvoy points

If hotel points are what you are after, our ultimate guide to Marriott Bonvoy and our complete map of Marriott Bonvoy hotels by category show what those points can actually buy.

American Express Cobalt® Card benefits

Here is what the card gives you, starting with the benefits cardholders use most.

  • 3X points on eligible streaming subscriptions in Canada.
  • 2X points on eligible gas, public transit and ride sharing purchases in Canada.
  • 1 additional point on eligible hotel and car rental bookings made through American Express Travel Online.

  • No minimum income requirement, as with every American Express Canada card.
  • Additional cards at no extra cost: the first and every other supplementary card is $0.
  • The Hotel Collection: a room upgrade when available, 12pm check-in and late check-out when available, and up to $100 USD in hotel credit on amenities charged to the room for a stay of two or more consecutive nights, booked through American Express Travel.
  • Front Of The Line® presale and reserved tickets for concerts and theatre performances, plus offers and events curated for cardmembers through Amex Experiences.
  • A soft credit check before you apply: you can see whether you will be approved with no impact to your credit score. This applies to American Express personal card applications.

To see how it compares with the rest of the line-up, read our round-up of the best credit cards from American Express in Canada.

The 5X categories and where they apply

The 5X rate is the reason most people carry this card. In Canada it covers four kinds of merchants:

  • Groceries: Metro, IGA, Sobeys, Super C, Safeway, Whole Foods.
  • Restaurants and bars: sit-down meals, takeout and drinks.
  • Home food delivery.
  • Convenience stores: Couche-Tard, 7-Eleven.

The 2X rate covers gas stations such as Esso, Shell and Petro-Canada, along with public transit and ride sharing.

With the American Express Cobalt® Card, you earn between 1 and 5 points per dollar:

Category Points per dollar
Grocery (Metro, IGA, Sobeys, Super C, etc.) 5
Home food delivery 5
Restaurants and bars 5
Convenience stores 5
Streaming services 3
Service station 2
Transport 2
Travel 1
Other 1

That works out to a 1 to 5% return on those purchases. For example, if you spend $1,000 per month across groceries, restaurants and food delivery, you earn $50 back per month, or $600 per year from that category alone. Transfer the points to a program such as Aeroplan instead and the return can be higher.

You can also stack these categories with the hundreds of stores that offer 5x points.

American Express Cobalt® Card insurance coverage

The card comes with a broad insurance package. The amounts below are the coverage limits; conditions, age limits and exclusions are set out in the certificate of insurance linked in the Insurance section above.

Travel insurance

  • Emergency medical: up to $5,000,000 for the first 15 days of a trip.
  • Travel accident: accidental death and dismemberment of up to $250,000 for you, your spouse and dependent children under age 23 when travelling on a common carrier (plane, train, bus or ship) and the tickets are charged to your card. Supplementary cardholders and their families are covered too.
  • Flight delay: up to $500 for necessary hotel, meal and sundry expenses bought within 48 hours when you are delayed or denied boarding for four hours or more and no other transportation is available. This $500 is an aggregate limit per occurrence, shared with missed connection and delayed baggage coverage.
  • Delayed baggage: up to $500 for essential clothing and sundries bought within four days when your outbound luggage is delayed six hours or more. This $500 is an aggregate limit per occurrence, shared with missed connection and flight delay coverage.
  • Lost or stolen baggage: up to $500 per occurrence for all insured persons combined, for checked or carry-on baggage and personal effects in transit, when the airline tickets are charged to your card. Within that limit, jewellery is capped at $300 per occurrence and golf clubs, including golf bags, at $250 per occurrence.
  • Hotel and motel burglary: up to $500 against the loss of most personal items if your hotel or motel is burglarized, when the stay is charged to your card.

Rental car insurance

Theft and damage coverage is included for a rental car with an MSRP, for its model year, of up to $85,000 excluding all taxes, for rentals of up to 48 days. To use it, decline the Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) or any similar option from the rental company and charge the full rental to your card. There is no cost for this coverage, and it replaces the daily insurance the rental company charges, usually $16 to $23 per day.

Mobile device insurance

Your device is covered for up to $1,000 per occurrence when it is charged to the card, for up to two years from the date of purchase. The payout is based on the depreciated value of the device, which falls by 2% of the purchase price for every completed month, less a 10% deductible. Theft and accidental damage coverage starts on the 91st day after purchase, because the first 90 days are covered by purchase protection.

Purchase protection and extended warranty

Eligible items charged to your card are insured against accidental physical damage or theft for 90 days from the purchase date, up to $1,000 per occurrence for all items combined. The card also extends the original manufacturer’s warranty by up to one additional year on eligible items, with indemnification limited to $10,000 per insured item and $25,000 per Cardmember per policy year for all items combined.

American Express Cobalt® Card fees

  • Card fee: $15.99 per month, which equals $191.88 per year, for residents outside Quebec. Quebec residents are billed $191.88 per year.
  • Additional cards: $0.
  • Purchase interest rate: 21.99%.
  • Cash advance interest rate: 21.99%.
  • Foreign transaction fee: 2.5%.

Because the fee is billed monthly rather than in one annual charge, you can stop and restart the cost in step with how much you are actually using the card.
