For those of us who use Quidco*** for cashback purposes and for booking hotels, they have a good offer with Accor Hotels*** than can really slash the cost of hotel stays (especially if you’re a member of Le Club which then gets you the lovely points).
The magic numbers you’re looking for are:
- 3% for Etap Hotel, HotelF1 and Formule 1 *
- 3% for Ibis Budget
- 7.5% for Ibis and All Seasons
- 7.5% for Adagio Access *
- 12% for Mercure, Novotel, Suithotel, and Adagio *
- 16% for Pullman, Sofitel, and MGallery *
* indicated increased rate.
There are of course Terms and Conditions which are worth a read.
- Accorhotels will not validate cashback until your stay has been completed.
- Members should only use voucher codes listed on Quidco. If you use voucher codes or gift vouchers that are not listed on Quidco your cashback may not track or be declined.
- Cashback may only be paid on the net value excluding VAT, all other taxes, surcharges and any additional costs such as delivery.
I’ve tend to use Accor Hotels as a “discounted option” when I go travelling, and have in the past combined them with the insane sales that Accor have every now and again. Combine this with a LeClub Platinum or Gold – and it becomes not the worst way to stay around the world.
Tracking with Accor however can be a pain, and it sometimes takes time for everything to go through using Quidco (then again, ICHG is almost as bad). I find a fresh browser with cookies flushed increases the chance of cashback heavily.
Note that non UK residents may find Quidco a bit limiting in terms of how much cashback you can get paid to you via PayPal (between £1.01 and £25), so this needs to be a consideration too.
It’s a darn good offer if you can use it…
*** Yes, you’ve noticed some stars. If you sign up to Quidco via my link, I get a referral bonus of £2.50. This is divided half, with you receiving the £1.25 credited to Quidco your account. The “naked” link is http://www.quidco.com/accorhotels/
