I think of the same. I gave up my Q2 and only have 20 paid stay this year. So my Q3 is miserable so far. I wonder what the story from those received great offers.

I thought my offer was pretty poor after the last round Im at 45 paid IC stays so far and I have 26 nights booked in November which are a mix of paid and reward, so they had no need to offer up anything enticing to me this time.

Ugh what a load. I know that Accelerate was unsustainable but it still hurts.
I've got: Double Your Stay: Earn double points on every stay, starting with your second stay, up to 30,000 bonus points.
Travel with the IHG App: Book 3 stays, earn 2,900 Points
Whoop-e-dee-do.

I've got the 15k points one as well.
Also "stay at 2 brands" and "book 2 times through the app).
Could probably complete the second and third ones for £80-£90 and get 13,400 points + a couple of 1000 for a HIX and HI stay.
Actually completed the last accelerate promo fairly easily as well. Was really looking forward to something better especially as I have some travel coming up.

My own is fairly decent.
15,000 - Double Your Stay
32,000 - Stay at 2 brands
8,000 - Book 2 stays with app
8,000 - Book 2 Bonus Point Packages
48,000 - Complete all 4 offers
Do you have to get the full 15,000 double points to trigger the 'Complete All Offers Bonus' or will 2 stays actually trigger everything besides the full 15,000 double stay points?

Not too bad for me...
15000 double your stay (may not necessarily max out but surely get close)
22400 for 4 brands (I type from a HI and have a cheap IC end of month, so pretty much piece of cake)
2200 for 2 stays w/IHG app [will skip]
7200 for 6 stays w/corp account (should be at 3 by end of month already)
no extras for completing multiple/all offers
It's likely to be an easy 40k.

Ugh. If this is the Accelerate for this quarter... meh.
Funny thing is, all my IHG stays are leisure and most of them are due to Accelerate. I don't know if I am net income for IHG, even if I'm not a big spender, but with this kind of offer, there is very little incentive for me to go out of my way to stay at the hotels.
Well, my one upcoming stay just barely within the period is already booked, and maaybbeee I will stay at another HI, considering I'll be gold already, so at least get a tiny bit of that status feeling... and then hope next year is back to decent.
I don't even have a completion bonus.

I can't seem to access mine anymore.
But I had like 100k total, comprised of something like 15k double your stay, 20k stay at 3 brands, 12k two stays at HI, 15k Saturday stays bonus (2 x 2 night weekend stay), and 30k bonus for completing 3/4.
Does anyone know how the double your stay works? Will bonus-point packages get doubled as well? If not, completing those double your stay tasks will be tough (unless you happen to be a high spender). 15k requires 1500$ revenue, those who got the 30k task would need to spend 3000$.
