Does this count for accelerate? Need to know as it was a HI hotel and I have a bonus for stay at 2 HI hotels.

No movement or status on the Accelerate thing.

IHG is inconsistent about how long it takes for things to post to the Accelerate dashboard. For example, sometimes a "pay for stay with IHG credit card" tasks takes multiple months, and other times it's almost as quick as the stay itself. So it may not yet be clear whether the fact it hasn't posted to your Accelerate dashboard yet means it will never post.

I suggest you continue with your next HI stay, unless you were planning to abandon this Accelerate cycle if this stay doesn't post. If that next HI stay posts to accelerate and this one hasn't posted yet by then, it's likely that it won't post. On the other hand, if this stay posts by the time your second HI stay posts, you're done with that 2 HI stays task.

But since different people tasks seem to post with different timing, you can't necessarily compare one persons timing to your timing, only your posting on a later stay to your (possible) lack of posting yet of an earlier stay (on the same task).
