The problem with Accor is that the points expire in 1 year. So it's not at very useful. Additionally, Accor's limited global coverage, MB Platinum etc, challenges remain. I'm still struggling to use my 2 room certificate!

But most importantly... what would be the benefit of first transferring to Accor and then to say AF or IB? Wouldn't be getting the exact same ratio? Just a year more of life assuming my mile's life counter is reset which I don't know if it will be?
