Melia has just updated their mobile app to make its branding consistent with their web design. Honestly I prefer the old app – although slow and dysfunctional at times, I like that I can see all room types and the respective cost in cash or points on just one page.
And speaking of dysfunctional, I haven’t managed to reach the booking page in the new app yet…
To go with the rebranding, there is a 30%-off January sale going on with bonus point opportunities. At the lower end you earn 10,000 points for a three-night stay at the affiliate hotels, and at the higher end you earn 30,000 points for a seven-night stay at luxury resorts. There are many variations but the minimum stay requirement is no less than three nights.
Melia’s redemption system is now very poor value usually except for redeeming 2,000 points using the Point & Cash option, so you don’t need more than just a small stash of points to keep going
Melia points are however transferred into other programs:
- 10 points = 3 Avios
- 3 points = 1 Air Europa mile
- 6 points = 1 Copa Airlines mile
- 3,500 points = £10
So they still have value.
