I thought there was a new promotion at Marriott, called
Unlock More. What's annoying about it is that it takes effect from the
second stay. You can register here:

As for IHG, in the last weeks I have managed to get sorted out with missing points and have found the call center quite nice and helpful. As for Accor, they just don't rock my boat, never have. Truth is, I don't like many of the hotels at lower levels (such as ibis or Mercure, the latter of which I detest). But Accor does have quite an interesting tie-up with Air France Flying Blue at the moment. Every time I take an AF KL flight I get Accor points, so I never have to worry about points expiry now. Equally, if I stay with Accor I get some Flying Blue miles.
