Accor unveils new lifestyle loyalty program
PARIS, Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Bringing Augmented Hospitality to Life


Accor announces today a disruptive and dramatic shift of its loyalty program 
into a fully integrated global platform integrating rewards, services, and 
experiences across our entire ecosystem to bring value everyday life whether 
you work, live or play.

This new lifestyle loyalty program will recognize, understand, cherish, 
communicate with and reward guests like never before giving access to "ALL of 
Accor".

It will open doors across a unique and iconic portfolio of over 30 hotel brands 
as well as an unrivalled collection of bars, restaurants, nightclubs and "money 
can't buy" experiences.

This new lifestyle loyalty program will be delivered through a new app and 
website that will allow members to access the world of Accor from the palm of 
your hand.

The new guest promise of this new lifestyle loyalty program will address four 
strategic stakes:

Introducing new premium status to reward our most loyal members;

Enriched benefits according to our augmented hospitality strategy;

A worldwide connected experience to earn and burn points across the broadest 
range of brands in the industry and a New digital app delivering value across 
work, live & play.

Partnerships and experiences

Far beyond the stay, partnerships anchors ALL in member's day-to-day, on the 
move and everywhere. Following an extensive study, three main passion points 
resonate with our loyalty members: Entertainment, Dining and Culinary & Sports.

Accor announces today three main partnerships to illustrate those passion 
points.

We are pleased to be extending our partnership with AEG beyond the AccorHotels 
Arena to include premium venues providing over 60 000 tickets and private 
suites for our loyalty members in Latin America, Asia and Europe.

AEG is world's leading sports and live entertainment company, with more than 
100 million guests a year, delivering innovation that inspires athletes, teams, 
artists and fans.

The Group has signed a new partnership with IMG, which will unlock access to 
chef masterclasses and culinary encounters for our best members courtesy of our 
loyalty program. Starting in 2020, our members will enjoy the best of Taste 
Festivals in London, Paris, Sao Paulo, Hong Kong and Toronto, with growth and 
expansion of the partnership into new cities over the next three years.

IMG is a global actor operating in more than 30 countries in sports, events, 
media, fashion, and especially culinary with immersive food experience.

Accor and Paris Saint-Germain Football Club today announce they have signed a 
global multi-year partnership agreement. ALL, Accor Live Limitless, Accor's new 
lifestyle loyalty platform, will become the Principal Partner and official 
jersey sponsor of the club starting from the 2019/2020 season. The partnership 
will bring together the world's fastest-growing football club with a global, 
pioneering leader in the hospitality industry.

To reflect the ambition of the group to engage our guests in their daily lives 
and to embody the premium nature of its portfolio of brands, Accor launched a 
new premium visual language including a new corporate logo. The two distinctive 
brands, Accor and ALL, will utilize the same 'iconic A' monogram that 
represents the seal of excellence of the group and which fuses the letter A 
with the bernache which is the historical emblem of the group.

These ambitious initiatives are designed to increase the global visibility of 
our brands to strengthen the efficiency of our distribution networks and to 
offer our guests an attractive and unique loyalty program in the industry.

To support these initiatives, the Group will invest EUR225 million of the 
EUR4.8 billion generated by the Booster operation, with the financial objective 
of creating EUR75 million per year of gross operating surplus in the medium 
term.
