Turn Gift Card Purchases into Free Accor Nights

Unlocking free stays with Accor hotels no longer needs a credit card or complicated points strategy. This guide reveals a lesser-known hack that lets you convert everyday gift card purchases into valuable Accor points—all via the Magnify app and the Lotus Miles program.



What is Accor?

Accor is a leading global hotel group with properties ranging from budget to luxury; its loyalty program, ALL - Accor Live Limitless, allows members to earn and use points for hotel stays, dining, and exclusive experiences at thousands of hotels worldwide.


What is Lotus Miles?

Lotus Miles is the frequent flyer loyalty program of Vietnam Airlines, rewarding members for their travel and spending with miles that can be redeemed for flights and upgrades. Lotus Miles is notable for offering a variety of member benefits and partnerships, including opportunities to convert miles into hotel reward points with partners like Accor.


What is the Magnify App?

Magnify is a rewards platform where users earn MagPoints by purchasing gift cards. These MagPoints can be converted to airline miles or hotel points, acting as a bridge to maximize everyday spending and unlock high-value travel rewards.


Why This Hack Works

Magnify lets users earn MagPoints when buying gift cards. Now, beta users can convert these MagPoints into Lotus Miles (Vietnam Airlines’ frequent flyer points). Since Lotus and Accor have a partnership enabling miles transfer—with bonuses—MagPoints now become your gateway to free Accor hotel stays.


Step-by-Step: Stack Your Points for Accor Stays


1. Buy Gift Cards and Collect MagPoints

Start by purchasing gift cards via the Magnify app (https://magnify.club/app/schaa).

Earn MagPoints for every purchase, and if you use a rewards credit card, you also collect those points, further improving value.


2. Convert MagPoints Into Lotus Miles

Magnify’s beta feature lets you move MagPoints to Lotus Miles with a 50% bonus—for every 1,000 MagPoints, get 1,500 Lotus Miles. Bonus valid till 5th December - now rolling out to waitlisted users.


3. Stack Signup Bonuses for Lotus Miles

Here’s how to quickly earn your first 5,000 Lotus Miles without spending out-of-pocket on flights:


Action
Referral Bonus (Code: 9061851268)1,000
App Download Bonus2,500
Transfer MagPoints (1,000 + 50% bonus)1,500
Total5,000 Lotus Miles

4. Transfer Lotus Miles to Accor Points (with bonus)

Lotus Miles transfers to Accor ALL (Accor’s loyalty program) usually offer a 50% bonus. Bonus valid till 30th November.

For every 5,000 Lotus Miles, you should get 1,500 Accor points—but reports suggest many receive an extra 500 points twice, totaling 2,000 Accor points.

5. Use Accor Points to Book Your Stay

Browse hotels on Accor website or app. On the payment page, select “Pay with Reward Points.” You can redeem points for the stay, and pay any remainder with your card if needed.

1 Accor point is valued at 0.02 Euro or approx 2.06 INR, depending on region and hotel.


Tips for Maximizing Your Rewards

  1. Pool Lotus Miles with family or friends to maximize your transfer amount. You can gather points faster for a bigger redemption when booking.
  2. Watch out for bonus transfer events—they can dramatically hike your Accor points haul.
