[oz_mark]

Might be time to start speculating on what Accor are up to. On the Sofitel site:
Sofitel: Sofitel Privileges loyalty card, luxury hotel

The Sofitel Privilège program is changing in order to offer you even more privileges!

Discover our new, worldwide loyalty program, launching September 15, 2008, with even more points, more rewards, and more partners.

It is no longer possible to join the Sofitel Privilège program and we hope you come back in September in order to learn much more about what our new program has to offer and in order to join.

On the Favorite Guest program site (Accor Hotels: the Accor Favorite Guest loyalty card)

The Accor Favorite Guest program is evolving in order to offer you even more benefits and advantages!

On September 15, 2008, our new, worldwide loyalty program is launching with more points, more rewards, and more services.

A decent cross brand loyalty program from Accor would be awesome
