Also chasing promos here. Topping off points with multiple programs based on best value.
  • Made a weekend stay with IHG that satisfies 3 tasks in the Accelerate program and will net me about 50k points total from that and spend.
  • Making occasional stays at HH for their 2x/3x bonus-- but only when they're comparable in price to their competitors.
  • Not pursuing the Choice 2 nights/8k promo because I don't foresee worthwhile redemptions with them given my travel pattern.
  • Thought I'd sit out from MR in Q4 since my MegaBonus offer requires 15 nights for the first bonus-- but then I had an unanticipated need to spend at least 9 nights near a familiar and comfortable MR hotel that's currently priced competitively (sometimes it isn't), so I'll see if I can make enough other stays with MR before Jan 15 to hit the MegaBonus.
