If you have even one Asia Pacific trip in the pipeline, ALL Accor+ Explorer is already an interesting way to squeeze more value out of your hotel stays, dinners, and staycations.
Right now, there is a little sweetener on the table. New ALL Accor+ Explorer members who join by March 13, 2026, will get 2,000 bonus ALL Reward points, which works out to about €40 of value that you can put straight towards a future hotel bill.
This promotion makes it an even more compelling time for Canadians to consider this unique travel program.
What is ALL Accor+ Explorer?
ALL Accor+ Explorer is a paid membership program that offers exclusive benefits at Accor hotels and resorts. It primarily focuses on the Asia-Pacific region, though some benefits extend globally.
The annual membership costs USD 229, which is approximately $309 CAD. You can also redeem 14,000 ALL Accor Reward points to cover the annual fee. Pricing may vary slightly based on the region you are signing up from, but it is typically in the US$210–240 range.
The program is a powerful tool for frequent travellers, providing savings on stays and dining, while also automatically granting elite status. It is distinct from the free Accor Live Limitless loyalty program; this paid membership unlocks an elevated level of perks.
What Are The Main Benefits of ALL Accor+ Explorer?
The headline feature of ALL Accor+ Explorer is Stay Plus, which gives you two “free night” certificates per year at participating Accor hotels across Asia Pacific.
In practice, these work like buy one get one free stays, and can easily cover a large part of the annual fee if used at a higher priced city or resort property.
Another highlight is access to Red Hot Rooms, a rotating set of member only hotel deals where selected properties in the region are discounted by up to 50% off the flexible rate.
When your dates and cities happen to line up with one of these offers, the savings can be substantial.
Beyond those two pillars, Explorer also usually includes:
- Around 30 status nights credited to your ALL account at the start of each membership year, which is enough for at least ALL Gold status on its own
- Discounted hotel stays at participating properties
- Dining and drinks discounts at hotel restaurants and bars across Asia Pacific
From there, the value you get will depend on how frequently you stay with Accor and how willing you are to route trips through Accor properties when prices are competitive.
Is ALL Accor+ Explorer worth it?
Whether ALL Accor+ Explorer is worth the fee really comes down to how often, and how deliberately, you stay with Accor.
If you have one or two trips per year to destinations like Bangkok, Danang, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, or Bali, and you are willing to plan at least a couple of nights at Accor properties, then you have a good chance of making the math work in your favour.
Redeeming Stay Plus nights at higher-value properties, catching the occasional Red Hot Rooms deal, and taking advantage of dining discounts can easily outweigh the annual fee over the course of a year.
If, on the other hand, you only stay with Accor once in a while, or you strongly prefer to jump between hotel brands, the subscription becomes harder to justify. In that case, even the 2,000-point bonus worth €40 will not rescue the value proposition on its own.
Right now, the promo mainly does one thing: it gives anyone who was already on the fence a small, guaranteed rebate to apply to a future stay.
If you can already see a couple of concrete use cases in your upcoming travel, the extra 2,000 points are a pleasant addition. If not, it may be better to wait until your plans line up more naturally with the network.
ALL Accor and Flying Blue Partnership
If you’re also a FlyingBlue miles collector, the partnership between ALL – Accor Live Limitless and Flying Blue is worth a closer look.
Together, they run a joint initiative called Miles+Points, which lets you earn both currencies from the same flights and hotel stays once your accounts are linked.
The structure is simple. When you fly on eligible Air France or KLM tickets, you earn your usual Flying Blue miles, and on top of that you earn ALL Reward points at a rate of 1 Reward point for every 2 euros spent on the flight.
When you stay at a participating Accor hotel, you earn your usual ALL Reward points, and on top of that you earn 1 Flying Blue mile for every 1 euro spent at the hotel. You are not moving points from one side to the other; you are growing both balances from the same activity.
There is also a welcome gift for joining Miles+Points. After you link your accounts and then complete your first eligible activity, you can receive up to 10 Flying Blue XP and 2 ALL status nights.
In practice, this is structured as an initial boost split between your first qualifying Accor stay and your first qualifying Air France or KLM flight. It will not carry you alone to a new status tier, but it does help move both accounts in the right direction with very little extra effort.
If you decide later that you would like to consolidate your balances, you can also convert between the two programs. Accor allows you to convert 2,000 Reward points into 2,000 Flying Blue miles, while Flying Blue allows you to convert 4,000 miles into 1,000 Reward points.
The rates are not designed for constant back-and-forth transfers, but they can be useful in specific situations where you are just short of a redemption on one side.
The key point is that for an ALL Accor+ Explorer member who also flies with Air France or KLM occasionally, linking accounts is an easy way to improve the overall return on both hotel stays and flights without changing much about how you travel.
Conclusion
ALL Accor+ Explorer is most compelling for travellers who expect to give Accor a reasonable share of their stays in Asia Pacific, and who are happy to plan around at least one or two Stay Plus redemptions and the occasional Red Hot Rooms deal.
In that context, the subscription can comfortably pull its weight over a year, while Gold status and dining discounts round out the package.
The current offer of 2,000 bonus ALL Reward points for new Explorer memberships opened by March 13 adds about €40 of fixed-value credit to the first year, which is a helpful extra if you were already leaning towards joining.
Combine the subscription with the Miles+Points partnership between ALL and Flying Blue, and the same trips can steadily build both hotel points and airline miles in the background.
