Can someone help with with the corporate fast track option?

I registered for this fast track offer:
https://all.accor.com/a/en/offers/fast-track-select-2026-corporate.html

They literally changed the Terms & Conditions! After I signed up and booked my stay using the required corporate codes I was not credited. At the time I registered and booked, the T&C were completely different - sayin that I need to book the say with the corporate codes (which I have) through one of the official channels like website, app... And I did that.

I contacted support and they keep insisting I’m not eligible, even though I clearly showed them that I fulfilled all the conditions listed in the original T&C. They still refused to credit the offer and now I noticed they’ve changed the entire T&C page to fit their current position. Honestly unbelievable.

Anyway, this is basically the only fast track offer I can still use before the end of the year, so I’m trying to figure out the correct way to complete it. Has anyone here successfully completed this promo and received the status upgrade? Any tips on how to properly use it or what exactly counts?

Thanks!

Garmin Messenger Plus for $299 or inReach Mini 2 for $249?

t’s true that these are the kind of devices you hope you never actually need, but I’m thinking about finally picking one up. Right now both are on sale — inReach Mini 2 for $249 and the newer Messenger Plus for $299. From what I can tell, the Messenger Plus adds voice/photo messaging and seems more modern overall, but the Mini 2 still looks like the go-to option for a lot of people.

Is the Messenger Plus worth the extra $50 or is the Mini 2 still the better buy?

Baggage through at PVG with separate tickets?

We're flying from Europe to PVG with Austrian Airlines and we are considering flights with Air China to Hanoi on a separate ticket. Since they're both Star Alliance, I can ask at check in my country to send the luggage to Hanoi, but I see that PVG is a bit strict with luggage. What are the chances bags can go through? Or we will need to go out through the immigration, pick the luggage and check in to Air China?

Fenix 8 47mm is now down to $749, but I’m still thinking about the 8 Pro

I was ready to pull the trigger on the Fenix 8 47mm for $749, but I just noticed the Fenix 8 Pro 47mm is also on sale, now going for $949. So the question is — do I throw an extra $200 at the Pro version and be set, or is the regular Fenix 8 still the best buy at this price?

It’s true that this is one of those devices you hope you never actually need, but I’m thinking about picking one up. The Garmin inReach Mini 2 is now down to $249, and I’m seriously considering pulling the trigger.

I’ve seen mostly good feedback on it, especially for backcountry use and emergency peace of mind. At this price, is it actually worth it, or is there something better in this range I should be looking at?

I need 7 more nights to reach Platinum and I want to do it before I travel to SE Asia next month. I stacked Explorer+ (30 nights) and Accor China Premium (20). I didn't want to try Supreme (30) because few people said it's capped to 50, so I went with Premium (20) and I received it. Is there are anyone who tried some other combination?

I was checking Brazil Signature where you receive 5 status nights each month in the top tier, but in ToS they mentioned limit of 30 nights per year within Accor Plus and Signature programs.

My last option is to go for a ghost room in my home city, but I am checking all options before trying that.

Anyone managed to stack 60 nights with different subscriptions?

I’ve been thinking about upgrading my Garmin Edge, and this looks like a pretty solid pick at $599. I’m currently using the Edge 830 and have had it for about 5 years now. Do you think the 1050 is a worthwhile upgrade at this price?
