Since this will fall in the next Megabonus period, is it worth spending 66 EUR for one of the nights in order to get the 1,000 point bonus?

The base points on a 66 EUR night wouldn't be that compelling alone but I'm interested to figure out whether the 1000 bonus makes it worthwhile to pay for one of the nights. I'm MR Gold if that affects the calculation

Thanks in advance
It's not just the 1,000 bonus points you're getting though, it's also the not-spending-20,000-points. At that rate, I'd probably just pay cash for both nights instead of points.
