American Express and Accor Announce Global Partnership to Enhance Traveler Experience

American Express and ALL Accor, the booking platform and loyalty program of Accor, have announced a new global partnership set to roll out in 2026 across 12 countries. This collaboration will grant eligible American Express cardholders automatic elite status within the ALL Accor program and the ability to transfer their Membership Rewards® points to ALL Accor.

The partnership aims to create a more seamless and enriched travel experience, from booking to stay, by providing access to exclusive benefits across Accor's worldwide network of over 45 brands, including Raffles, Fairmont, and Sofitel. This move is expected to enhance the value proposition for both American Express cards and the ALL Accor loyalty program.

For instance, holders of the Platinum American Express® Card will automatically receive ALL Accor Gold status. This tier comes with benefits such as premium Wi-Fi, personalized gestures, late check-out, and room upgrades subject to availability. The ability to transfer Membership Rewards® points to ALL Accor offers cardholders a new, flexible way to utilize their points for hotel stays and other Accor-related services.

American Express has been actively enhancing its travel offerings, and this partnership with Accor represents a significant step in that direction. Both companies anticipate that the collaboration will effectively serve their target demographics, creating a more appealing travel proposition.
