The MILES+POINTS service

Flying Blue is a frequent flyer program that allows you to earn Flying Blue miles.

Accor Live Limitless is a hotel loyalty program for earning points.

Now, in order to link these two programs, a new service is created: MILES+POINTS

milespoints

In the world, other similar alliances exist (or have existed) such as:

  • United MileagePlus <> Marriott Bonvoy
  • Emirates / Delta <> fire-Starwood Preferred Guest

Earn points on Skyteam flights

On board, you earn Accor Live Limitless points in addition to your Flying Blue Miles:

  • 2 euros spent on a flight or paid options = 1 Rewards point

Earn miles by staying at Accor group hotels

When you stay at an Accor Live Limitless hotel, you earn Flying Blue Miles in addition to your Rewards points:

  • 1 spent at an Accor Live Limitless hotel = up to 1 Flying Blue Mile

Conversion via MILES+POINTS

  • 4,000 Flying Blue Miles = 1,000 Accor Live Limitless points (per 4,000 Flying Blue Miles)
  • 2,000 Accor Live Limitless points = 1,000 Flying Blue Miles (per 2,000 rewards points)

Online registration

To enroll in MILES+POINTS, you must be a member of both loyalty programs and link your accounts. There may even be a promotion to sign up:

Bottom Line

For the time being, the MILES+POINTS service only allows you to accumulate/convert points and miles between the two programs.

Let’s hope that the two programs get a little closer together, for example by allowing status recognition, especially since the Accor Live Limitless loyalty program – until now little known in Canada – has recently become the loyalty program of Fairmont hotels. In the meantime, find out how to obtain Gold status in this program, in particular by taking out an ALL – Visa card.

Flying Blue is a partner of the American Express Membership Rewards program, so you can easily earn Flying Blue Miles in Canada.

And since this article was written, the AccorHotels Club program has been renamed Accor Live Limitless (ALL).
