Accor+ Explorer F&B cert: VPN to cheaper country before Sep 7

The ALL Accor+ Explorer F&B certificate promotion gives new or returning members a dining voucher worth about $30 (local equivalent) valid 91 days. Membership prices vary by country from $202 (Indonesia) to $249 (worldwide), and Accor Plus now hides cheaper prices unless you connect via a VPN from within that country. The certificate can only be redeemed in the purchase country, so choose where you plan to dine. The offer runs until September 7, 2026.

the play

Use a VPN to purchase ALL Accor+ Explorer membership from the cheapest eligible country (Indonesia at $202) before the September 7, 2026 deadline to receive the F&B certificate.

This drop was reframed from a real reader question asked around the web. Written with the assistance of a language model in the voice of Vanessa Bloome.

Revolut RevPoints: 1:2 to I Prefer, but only in the UK for now. Use it or lose it. 100% bonus.

Revolut RevPoints now transfer to Preferred Hotels I Prefer at a flat 1:2 ratio, effectively a 100% bonus on your points. This is live today for UK cardmembers only, matching the same conversion rates Bilt, Alaska Atmos, and Capital One offer. Citi holders get the same 1:2 rate on premium cards but only 1:1.4 on basic ones, so Revolut's rate is cleaner. No transfer bonus is mentioned yet, but the baseline 1:2 is solid for hotel stays if you value I Prefer points at around 0.5-0.7 cents each.

the play

Transfer Revolut RevPoints to I Prefer at the 1:2 ratio if you have a Preferred Hotels stay booked, but wait for a conversion promo before moving points speculatively.

the play

Register for the promotion on Hilton's site, ensure your Qatar Airways Privilege Club number is set as preferred in your Travel Preferences, and book a cash stay before 31st August to earn the 1,000 Avios.
