I just redeemed 22,000 flybuys points for two nights accommodation at Adelaide All Seasons Meridien for 2 adults and 1 child. The cheapest rate available was $115 per night.
I then called and Accor and checked if I could get a free room for the third night and use a 50% discunt voucher for the fourth night if I join Accor Advantage Plus. They booked me in without any problem. I will have to pay $80 for the fourth night. The advantage plus cost $230 and I already have got about $150 back. I will still have five 50% vouchers and will get free meal for one person when two or more people dine at their restaurants.
I had the Sheraton's card for an year and could not use to the free and 50% vouchers due to "no availabilty" whenever I tried to book. I cancelled it!
