Accor previously had three different thresholds of points that you needed to have to use them towards stays (the value per point is the same).
You needed at least 2,000 points in France (40 euros), 1,000 worldwide, and 500 in Greater China. The France exception has now been removed.

Previously:
At the hotel, Reward points can be used with a minimum of 1,000 Reward points, entitling Members to a discount of 20 euros on the price, all taxes included, of accommodation or on-site expenses.
As an exception, Reward points can only be used starting from 2,000 Reward points (equivalent to a discount of 40 euros) in venues located in France and from 500 Reward points in hotels located in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Mongolia and Taiwan (equivalent to a discount of 10 euros).
A maximum of one million Reward points can be used at the hotel for the same stay.

Conclusion
This helps those who don’t earn a lot of points and/or infrequently stay at Accor hotels to be able to use the points they have earned, which makes sense.
