Not what IHG want of course but if you have already requalified for next year I'd personally jump ship as it does work.
Chrism20, are you saying that just a handful of stays is enough to reset your target but doing zero stays (as I did) is not? This seems perverse even for IHG.

I take your point about jumping ship though - I'm now going out of my way to avoid IHG wherever possible, even in situations where I might normally have stayed with them, so the Accelerate program has had exactly the opposite effect on me to what was intended.
