The addition of ALL Accor Live Limitless as a transfer partner for American Express Membership Rewards in Canada opens up new avenues for points travelers to redeem their points, particularly for luxury hotel stays and potentially lucrative redemptions with airline partners like ANA Mileage Club. As Milesopedia reports, this partnership is slated to launch this summer, and while specifics on the transfer ratio and reward point value are not yet detailed, the implications for travel strategies are significant.
What does this mean for your points?
For travelers who have been accumulating American Express Membership Rewards points, this new partnership presents an opportunity to diversify their redemption options. Given the global footprint of Accor, including luxury brands like Fairmont, travelers may find that transferring their points to ALL Accor Live Limitless offers a better value proposition than other redemption paths, especially for high-end hotel stays.
How does this impact your travel plans?
Travelers planning to visit destinations with a strong Accor presence, such as Europe or Asia, may benefit from this partnership by redeeming their points for hotel stays. Moreover, the ability to transfer points to ALL Accor Live Limitless could complement existing travel plans, especially for those who also collect points in other programs that have partnerships with Accor or can be transferred to airline partners like ANA Mileage Club.

Is it worth transferring now?
Without the specifics on the transfer ratio and the value of Reward points within the ALL Accor Live Limitless program, it's challenging to advise on the immediate transfer of points. However, for travelers with upcoming stays at Accor properties or those looking to diversify their points holdings, monitoring the development of this partnership closely could provide a strategic advantage. It's essential to compare the redemption value across different programs, including ANA Mileage Club, which often offers competitive redemption rates for flights, especially in premium cabins.
What are the potential sweet spots?
Potential sweet spots could arise from the combination of this new partnership with existing redemption opportunities, such as leveraging ANA Mileage Club for international flights in conjunction with Accor hotel stays. Travelers should look into the redemption charts for both programs to identify where the value lies, potentially using tools like those found on /points/redemption-charts to compare redemption values across different programs.
