@CardWorld_Me @iSatishAgarwal Some hotels have manual vouchers for welcome drink. So even if the voucher is not generated, the hotel gives you a handwritten one.

🚨 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫 quietly killed one of the most abused “travel hacks” in ALL loyalty program 🍷 Earlier many members used to split bookings at the SAME hotel to trigger multiple Welcome Drink vouchers. Example 👇 📅 Booking 1: 23 May → 24 May 📅 Booking 2: 24 May → 25 May Previously, many properties used to issue separate welcome drinks for both stays. Now Accor has tightened the rules officially. ⚠️ Current ALL T&C clearly says: ➡️ Consecutive stays in the same hotel with same-day checkout/check-in are treated as ONE stay ➡️ Multiple reservations with same check-in/check-out dates at same hotel = ONLY ONE voucher ➡️ Welcome drink is digitally controlled via ALL App This means 👇 ❌ No more voucher stacking by splitting bookings ❌ No more easy “back-to-back booking trick” ❌ Less flexibility for status members staying long durations Official wording from Accor: “Any consecutive stays (check-out and check-in on the same day) in the same hotel will be considered as one stay.” And: “In the event of multiple reservations in the same hotel on the same check-in and check-out dates, the voucher is only given once.” Deep impact analysis 🧵 🔹 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐭? • Frequent business travelers • Long-stay members • Accor Plus power users • Members doing rate optimization with split bookings 🔹 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲? Accor shifted welcome drinks fully into app-based digital vouchers, making duplicate issuance easier to detect & block. 🔹 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬? Likely reasons: ✅ Reduce loyalty benefit leakage ✅ Stop loophole exploitation ✅ Standardize hotel-level implementation ✅ Push app adoption & digital controls 🔹 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 For premium brands like Sofitel, Pullman & MGallery, a welcome drink can easily mean: 🍷 Wine 🍸 Cocktails 🍺 Premium beer ☕ Specialty beverages So frequent travelers could earlier extract meaningful extra value during long stays. Now that value extraction is capped sharply. Interestingly, many FlyerTalk & Reddit users had openly discussed using multiple bookings for extra vouchers earlier. Bottom line 👇 Small change on paper. But for loyal Accor elites, this quietly reduces one of the most tangible on-property perks. ❤️ If you liked the thread, please ♻️ 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 | 🔖 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 | 👥 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 👉 @CardWorld_Me 🍷 ✈️ 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 🏨 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 🎁 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐋𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲 💳 𝐌𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝

@PointsPro Has been like this for the past 2 months. Visa and mastercard getting declined.

Is anyone able to buy Accor Signature? I have received comments and DMs that folks aren’t able to buy. It is due to the fact that 2FA doesn’t happen and due to this the transaction gets declined. Anyone bought as a new/returning member?

@DeepGoldenCrown Hello Neighbour. All good ?

@Kiku_1993 Yes been there too 3 years ago! Ps. I was your neighbor in the plane yesterday! Nice meeting you!

Visited the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City. A profoundly sobering and essential experience. The exhibits are incredibly raw and force a deep, difficult reflection on the true, devastating cost of conflict. 💔 This was a free walking tour guided by local college students eager to practice English! What a brilliant way to connect with the city's future and learn about its past.

@Kenu73 So i took a few flights (Points). They were not added. So only revenue flights are added as of now.

Air India now clearly writes that they are excluding the Award flights. They don't add it anywhere in the summary or year end report and I have a feeling that that the award flights don't count towards the Status retention, my number of flights towards the Gold retention/Platinum Upgrade seems off. PS- I know about tier points, I am talking about 45 flights for Gold.

@realshubhamkush The flight was in the final stages i.e Descent to Landing, the seat belt signs would have been ON. The flight attendants were just following standard SOP. Don’t blame them.

Air Hostess Neha of Indigo Flight 6E6313 (Raipur to Delhi, 16:50 departure) denied a Diabetic passenger access to the washroom at 6:15 PM despite sufficient time before landing, and when requested she misbehaved with the passenger. The flight landed at 6:35. After deplaning also, she didn’t allow to use the washroom. Who takes responsibility for such behaviour by flight attendants towards passengers? Passengers deserve dignity and respectful treatment, not arrogance. @DGCAIndia @IndiGo6E

@shukla_tarun @IndiGo6E @DGCAIndia @RamMNK @PMOIndia Given the price he paid, it seems that it was a last moment booking. In such cases where seats have already been allocated, the best would be to call them and tell them to allocate seats together with atleast one parent. At the last moment even the ground crew is helpless.

State of affairs: - @IndiGo6E forces 3 year old kid to sit away from parents because they didn't pay for seat selection - This is despite paying Rs 44000 for Bagdogra to Kolkata tickets - Which is also a turbulent sector as parent notes & in violation of @DGCAIndia rules ✈️

@LoverZalmi13717 @mufaddal_vohra Bhai chup kar ja.

Dear viewers, do you know why Blessing Muzarabani gave this statement today? Muzarabani had made an agreement with Islamabad United for Pakistan Super League 11, but now he is backing out of it. He left the PSL and joined the Indian Premier League (scripted league), where Kolkata Knight Riders only gave him a chance in 2 matches. Now it’s clearly visible to him that from next year he might not get opportunities in the scripted league, which is why he is making excuses and pleading for his ban to be lifted.

🚨 BLESSING MUZARABANI MANAGER HITS BACK AT THE PSL. 🚨

@ankitdewan If three people, i would buy the seats. Because mostly you won’t find a row completely empty during check in.

@Kiku_1993 I have 3 people travelling on 2 PNRs. I want all to sit together. What if at check-in time, no seats are available together? And are all the seats free at check-in time?

For Vietnam Airlines economy, do you have to purchase the seats, or is there a hack to it?

@ankitdewan You don’t have to pay anything for front rows if they are available.

@Kiku_1993 What is the advantage?

@sanyayyyy 30 bhat street food where ? Even 2 Mala cost 30 bhat.

I moved to Thailand. Same me. Same work. Same age. My body, my energy, my sleep, my social life, all different here. And it’s got nothing to do with discipline. Here’s what I’ve learned living here: 1. Food Street food is ₹100. Grilled. Fresh vegetables. 25g protein. Pad kra pao, som tam, grilled chicken, green curry. All day, every day. Healthy is the normal. 2. 2. Movement Nobody “goes for a walk.” They just walk. 8,000 steps a day without trying. Night markets, beach walks, motorbike to every corner. Movement is built into the city, not scheduled around your calendar. 3. Working spaces Cafes with natural light. Outdoor coworking. Beach towns full of people working from their laptops. 4. Meeting people New friendships at 35 are normal here. At night markets, at cafes, at coworking spaces. Strangers talk to each other. “Come over” still means today. 5. Cost of living ₹60,000 a month gets you a full apartment, a scooter, 3 meals out a day, and weekends at the beach. 6. Community Digital nomad communities here are real. Coworking spaces full of people building things, traveling alone, starting over at 30. I love India. I always will. But living here has shown me what’s possible when a country builds for its people. The food, the movement, the rest, the community, it all adds up to a body and a life that feels lighter. We have the talent. The culture. The potential. We just haven’t decided we deserve this kind of life yet. PS - all of this is true if you want it to be.

@HarmanSingh9410 @airindia 1-2 are Business, 3-6 are PE and 7-Last is Economy. You managed to get the first row seats of Economy and hence 1300!

⁦@airindia⁩ I paid 1300 bucks for a seat on a Delhi to Bangalore flight. One that has a star on it (7D) and that doesn't even have extra leg room? What exactly did you charge me 1300 bucks on the basis of?

@sankarfca @imYadav31 Why should i cancel ? It’s the responsibility of the company to add small features which help consumers.

@Kiku_1993 @imYadav31 If it's frustrating, you can cancel the card

Just noticed something really odd in the SBI Card app. Suppose your total due is ₹1,00,000 and you pay ₹50,000 today. Now when you come back after 7 days to pay the remaining ₹50,000, the payment page still shows the due as ₹1,00,000 instead of the updated balance. That’s a very poor user experience and can genuinely confuse users. SBI should seriously fix this.

@QaziShahid786 Yes travelling back to Pakistan 😌

Another Story Started 🚨 Pakistanis are offered to fly on Air Force 2 from Washington with the Vice President of the United States 🤣🤣🤣👇

@AG_knocks Are you using BSNL ? I guess the news is reaching late to you.

Azam Khan was handed 7 yrs sentence for possesing 2 PAN cards, but BJP CM's wife can hold 3 passports and still no legal action 🤷‍♂️ Leave Tea gardens aside, she even stole PPE kits during the COVID. Both her demeanor and face are typical of a thief👊😾

@wittysiddharth @iPragatiJain @arnikadixit This mentality does not work anymore and tbh they can do what they did. It is in their T&C.

@iPragatiJain @arnikadixit What i can do is , Remove my Burgandy Relationship , Withdraw the investments with AXIS which is pretty high , and close down the Atlas card atleast , if you think people start doing this , wont they care?

Ms Arnika Dixit @arnikadixit seems to be Head of Credit cards and Mr Amitabh Chaudry is the MD of Axis Bank! . Any one has their direct email ids pls share here! . Lets take their appointment and go to meet them or atleast let us send emails showing this kind of overnight changes as not acceptable. Removing Accor overnight without any information is just not acceptable! . #ccgeeks #ccgeek @AxisBank @AxisBankSupport

@i_zaibi_07 @Abdullahh_56 Same as saying that we are begging the US for money to buy prostitutes.

@Abdullahh_56 IPL is just a Money making League but to improve your Skill you need to play PSL

🚨 ADAM ZAMPA OPENES UP WHY HE CHOSE TO PLAY PSL OVER IPL: 🇵🇰>🇮🇳 Adam Zampa said, "I pulled out of the IPL this year. To be brutally honest, for someone with my skill set, I just don’t get the money that is there for other skill sets. And for the amount of time that the IPL takes, it just didn’t seem like a reasonable choice for me to keep playing it. I was going to have a break, but PSL was on the radar about a month ago. It’s all happened pretty quickly, but I’m enjoying it."

@Manik_M_Jolly @DGCAIndia Man the confidence he has after all the ruckus he has created is insane! Dude has two options - Belt treatment or Psychologist.

So he’s decided to double down on his threats and behaviour, rather than apologise. Gov and @DGCAIndia - ball is in your court now !
