American Express and ALL Accor Join Forces

In a significant move for the travel and hospitality industry, American Express has announced a global partnership with ALL Accor, a renowned reservation platform and loyalty program. This innovative alliance is set to roll out in 2026 across 12 countries and territories, including Germany, Australia, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, the UK, and Singapore. This collaboration seeks to offer American Express cardholders enriched travel experiences by granting automatic access to ALL Accor’s loyalty program benefits.

A New Era for Travel Rewards

The collaboration ensures that eligible American Express cardholders can seamlessly transition into the ALL Accor loyalty program, achieving status that opens the door to exclusive travel perks. Travelers will now have the opportunity to transfer their Membership Rewards® points directly into ALL Accor's rewards system. This is a game changer, making it easier for frequent travelers to maximize their benefits while enjoying their journeys.

Currently, eligible cardholders in France can already transfer their Membership Rewards® points into ALL Accor’s program, with automatic status access expected soon. This facilitates a more streamlined travel experience, from booking to stay, while unlocking exclusive advantages across more than 45 luxury hotel brands under the Accor group, such as Raffles, Fairmont, and Sofitel.

Leadership Insights

Caroline Gaye, General Manager of American Express in France, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to collaborate with Accor to provide added value to our cardholders. This partnership reinforces our commitment to enhancing every aspect of our customers' travel experiences by offering greater flexibility, more choices, and substantial benefits."

Mehdi Hemici, Chief Loyalty & E-Commerce Officer at Accor, added, "By bringing the ALL Accor promise to life in a new way, we connect our global hospitality ecosystem to American Express cardholders. The premium clientele of American Express aligns perfectly with our luxury portfolio, allowing us to combine our vast brand offerings and experiences with American Express’ global reach. We are paving the way for more personalized and seamless stays while offering richer interactions with ALL Accor at every step of their travels."

Benefits of the Partnership

The partnership emphasizes automatic access to ALL Accor’s program statuses, which equips eligible cardholders with exclusive travel advantages and recognition at participating Accor hotels worldwide. For instance, American Express Platinum cardholders—whether personal, small business, or corporate—will receive ALL Accor Gold status. This includes perks such as premium Wi-Fi, personalized services, late check-out, room upgrades (subject to availability), and additional points in the ALL Accor rewards program.

Membership Rewards® Enhancement

Moreover, this collaboration enhances the value of the American Express Membership Rewards® program by allowing eligible cardholders to convert their points into ALL Accor loyalty points. In France, cardholders can exchange 3 Membership Rewards® points for 1 ALL Accor point. This flexibility means that points can be redeemed at over 45 hotel brands in the ALL Accor network, for dining experiences, and a wide array of services through more than 110 partners.
