ALL – Accor Live Limitless Gold Status for a Single Registered Accor Share

To get the ALL – Accor Live Limitless (formerly known as Le Club) Gold status, you usually will have to spend 30 nights or €2,800 at Accor Hotels. Yet, there is a way to get the status much quicker and cheaper, although just for a single year.

Join the Shareholders Club for One Year of ALL Gold

The so-called Shareholders Club is the most convenient way to gold tier. If you have just a single registered Accor share (WKN: 860206 | ISIN: FR0000120404), you can enter the Shareholders Club and will get the ALL – Accor Live Limitless Gold Status for one year (currently until 12/2025).

Sadly, you’ll only get the Gold status once for 12 months and will then need the required status points or stays to renew the status.

Currently, Accor shares cost roughly €39 each (on June 7, 2024). You’ve to add the fee of your broker. You can find the full terms and conditions of the program here. Accor offers information on how to register as a shareholder here, turning your stake in a registered share.

Choosing the way of 50 bearer shares will cost you roughly €2,000, still €800 less than the regular qualification threshold. However, we don’t recommend paying that price for a mid-level hotel status.

Perks

Before you venture into turbo capitalism and purchase an Accor share, let’s take a look at the perks of ALL Gold – the golden middle in ALL’s five tier ranks:

• Early check-in or late check-out, on request and based on availability
• Upgrade to the next room category, based on availability
• Welcome drink (coffee, soft drinks, beer or wine)
• Guaranteed room up to 3 days before arrival

The Gold status is not a high-end status, but ALL – Accor Live Limitless is generally rather modest when it comes to the status benefits. The only real difference to the highest level, the Platinum status, is the access to the Executive Lounge. ALL – Accor Live Limitless also offers a Diamond Status with complimentary breakfast (but only on weekends).

Speaking from experience, Accor hotels are usually generous when it comes to both upgrades and welcome drinks. In my 12 months of ALL Gold (earned through staying 30 nights), the welcome drink usually includes everyone in the booking – and I’ve stayed with groups up to six people. Also, I have been upgraded on almost any occasion, despite Gold being a mid-tier status.

Conclusion

Even if the ALL – Accor Live Limitless Gold status isn’t particularly attractive, upgrades and early check-in / late check-out can be worth €40 for one year. ALL – Accor Live Limitless is not, however, on the same level as other programs, such as Hilton Honors or Marriott Bonvoy.
