Until December 2, you&#8217;ll get a discount when purchasing any of the plans with promo code <strong>BLACKFRIDAY2024<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monthly: 50% off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quarterly: 30% off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Annual: 15% off<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discount only applies to the first cycle and you&#8217;ll renew at the regular price. Brazilian Real has been continuously plunging over the last year, making it an even sweeter deal now. Here\u2019s how it works out for the&nbsp;<em>Absolute&nbsp;<\/em>Plan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monthly: 280 BRL \/ \u20ac44 for 5,000 points (56% off)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quarterly: 1176 BRL \/ \u20ac183 for 15,000 points (39% off)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Annual: 5712 BRL \/ \u20ac887 for 75,000 points (41% off)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Brazilian Real is very volatile lately so the numbers you see above might have already expired.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another trick is to subscribe to Quarterly, switch to Monthly by the end and cancel after one month. You\u2019ll pay 1736 BRL \/ \u20ac269 for 25,000 points, at 46% off. It involves manual adjustment from the customer service team though and things can go wrong\u2026 When I did it last time they switched me to an annual subscription by mistake and it took ages to resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is honestly one of my favourite offers as you are basically buying euros at a discount, and Accor points can be used against most of their rates. You can also redeem event tickets on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/2024\/08\/24\/cheap-point-deals-london-concerts-and-paris-tennis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">the Limitless Experiences platform<\/a> &#8211; I was at the Rolex Paris Masters game last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Great news for Londoners, although not finalised yet &#8211; Accor is signing a contract with the Wembley Arena and the partnership could start from as early as January. I went to a concert there years ago when IHG had an arrangement and it&#8217;s nice to see opportunities coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>[Melia]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melia has been rather quiet in the last 6 months or so, and we finally see a new deal: to celebrate their 30th anniversary, you get a 30% bonus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/points-melia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">when buying points before November 21<\/a>. They ran exactly the same deal back in February.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/melia-30th-anniversary-30-bonus.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" src=\"http:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/melia-30th-anniversary-30-bonus.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/melia-30th-anniversary-30-bonus.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/melia-30th-anniversary-30-bonus-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I checked out the buy-points page and the bonus was not displayed, but I trust that they&#8217;ll deposit the points correctly. With the bonus you&#8217;re paying \u20ac5 for every 1,300 points, or in other words, paying 0.385 euro cents \/ 0.323p per point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/2020\/06\/10\/hotel-loyalty-program-series-melia-rewards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">wrote a guide on Melia&#8217;s program<\/a>. Unfortunately their standard award inventory is next to being non-existent now, and the cost of an award night is usually tightly coupled with the cash rate which is unattractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can still however, easily save \u20ac20 or more on a reservation in exchange of only 2,000 points with their cash &amp; points feature.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/melia-cash-and-points-example.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"682\" src=\"http:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/melia-cash-and-points-example.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/melia-cash-and-points-example.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/melia-cash-and-points-example-176x300.jpg 176w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you intend to stay at Melia hotels semi-regularly, it might be worth stocking a few thousand points for this purpose. Melia is one of the most underrated hotel programs in my opinion: with the 20%-off Gold voucher (available with Amex Platinum) + 5% app discount + cash &amp; points discount + official sales, it&#8217;s very common to make a genuine 50% saving compared to the regular price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melia points are valid for 12 months and any account activity, including buy 1,000 points, will extend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Accor] We write about Accor&#8217;s All Signature program regularly, a paid scheme originated in Brazil but now international, where you can purchase status and redeemable points&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,11],"tags":[116],"class_list":["post-21347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-accor-all-limitless","category-melia-rewards","tag-points-sale"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21347"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21347\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21357,"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21347\/revisions\/21357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
