Basically, it didn't matter if I had 3 accounts or 1. The sign up bonuses did hit all 3, but it would be exactly the same as if they all hit the same 1 account.
That's weird that you had a hard time combining them. With other programs I just called and all my miles/points/stays were just about instantly merged.
