Le Club Accorhotels members can earn 4x miles with Delta Skymiles or 3x miles with Aeroplan (Air Canada) for stays through April 15, 2013. 

4x Delta Miles means 8,000 miles for 4,000 LeClubAccorhotels points. 4,000 Accor points have a fixed value of $120 or 80 EUR as hotel stay credits. 8,000 miles for $120 is a good buy if this were a straight purchase of miles.

• 1/28/13 to 2/28/13 hotel reservations must be made January 28, 2013 to February 28, 2013 for a stay completed by April 15, 2013.
