This is to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of Ascott Star Rewards, the loyalty program of the hotel chain. Note that the bonus awarded is tiered, and you need to purchase the maximum amount &#8211; 1000 SGD for 400K points &#8211; to get the 50% bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, you benefit from a 33.3% discount for the point purchase. Ascott&#8217;s redemption system is similar to that of Accor&#8217;s, where points have a fixed value and can be directly redeemed against most rates found on their website. This means, purchasing points now and use them on your future stays will save you 33.3% whatever the listed rate is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/2020\/06\/23\/stay-at-one-bed-apartment-in-central-london-paris-new-york-for-80-quid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">there was an even better offer<\/a> last year where points were sold for half price. Surely we have no idea whether or when it&#8217;s going to return, yet I wouldn&#8217;t encourage you to hoard the points now unless you have immediate use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few other promotions in addition. For example, <em>Classic <\/em>members can earn <em>Silver <\/em>status after completing only one stay &#8211; although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/2021\/01\/22\/free-upgrade-to-ascott-platinum-membership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">there&#8217;s actually a route for instant Platinum<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ascott&#8217;s points sale is back, this time with an enhanced bonus.
