The Fine Print

  • Valid from April 8th – 30th
  • 10,000 of the points expire if not used by the end of April (although in my account it does say my points are valid until April, 2015. I think these will expire after the end of April 2014 as per the terms and conditions)
  • 2,000 points will expire April, 2014
  • Must use the following link for sign up: http://www.melia.com/nMas/jsp/C_Join.jsp?promotor=RL4&partner=8061
  • Points post instantly
  • Three night stay minimum is required, but multiple people have been able to book 1 night. This part of the terms and conditions might be referring to the 15-40% discount.

Using Points + Cash

When you use points + cash, it’ll show that you only have 2,000 points which can be applied to your booking. If you click book now there is a slider which you can move and you can then select to use all of your points which will reduce the cash price. Using this feature points seem to be valued at around 0.9¢ each.

Our Verdict

The first thing I thought of when I saw this program is points.com, I know you can transfer Melia points so I was hopeful that you’d be able to transfer these 12,000 points into a more useful program (or at least easier to use). Unfortunately sign up bonus cannot be transferred. It is possible to find hotels that are 12,000 points or less, so this could equal a free night. There are only three properties in the US, none of which can be had for less than 12,000 points. But you can use points + cash for them.

We suggest looking through the full list yourself by clicking here. But if you don’t have time we’ve compiled some of the hotels that can be booked for under 12,000 points. Most Tryp hotels seem to offer rooms for under 12,000 points (although some locations like Paris aren’t under 12,000 points).

According to some, Melia will also send you a free award night certificate every year for your birthday. This certificate must be used within 1 month of receiving it, but you can book up to 12 months in advance.

I’ll definitely be partaking in this offer. I’m not sure which hotel I’ll book a stay with, but most likely it’ll be one that requires points + cash because the others aren’t in areas I plan to be in for the next 12 months (apart from unexpected work trips which I can’t plan for and don’t pay for anyway). This is a great deal, especially couples who live in Europe. You can easily get some cheap flights from Ryan Air or another low cost carrier and go to a different European city for a weekend away.
