Cross Rewards: Partnership between Accor ALL & Qatar Airways Privilege Club

Partnerships are not often formed between hotel and airline loyalty programs. Generally, this stops at the transfer of points.

However, the Accor ALL hotel loyalty program has stood out for several years. After forging a similar partnership with Air France KLM’s Flying Blue in the SkyTeam Alliance with MILES+POINTS, and with VISA with ALL – Visa cards, we have now joined forces with Qatar Airways Privilege Club in the Oneworld Alliance with Cross Rewards.

To take advantage of Cross Rewards benefits, you must link your Accor ALL and Qatar Airways Privilege Club accounts on this page.

However, if you have already linked your Accor All account with another partner loyalty program (Flying Blue or Qantas Frequent Flyer), you will need to unlink your accounts. There are two cases:

• You linked your accounts more than 12 months ago (for example, when this feature was launched in 2019 with MILES+POINTS): in this case, you will be able to link your Accor ALL and Qatar Airways Privilege Club accounts immediately
• If you linked your accounts less than 12 months ago, you will have to wait to link your Accor ALL and Qatar Airways Privilege Club accounts (unless you have moved from one continent to another).

Here are the conditions if you are in this situation:

3.7 Except as set out in clause 3.8, switching from another airline partner to Qatar Airways will only be allowed if you linked your ALL Loyalty Programme account with the other airline partner more than 12 months ago. If your ALL Loyalty Programme account was linked to the other airline partner within the last 12 months, then you will have to wait until a full 12 months has passed before being able to link your ALL Loyalty Programme account to your Privilege Club Programme account.

3.8 An exception will be made for any Member of ALL who has changed their residence to a different Continent. Those Members of ALL will need to contact the Accor customer care centre in order to unlink their ALL Loyalty Programme account from their other airline partner, and then link of their ALL Loyalty Programme account to their Privilege Club Programme account.
