How long does it take for purchased points to post? Has anybody tried that route to book a more expensive hotel.
This is clearly a real promotion given all the restrictions.

How did u pay for the extra euro? Was it a points purchase? I can't figure out how to do a 12k pts plus cash booking. Thanks

24 hours. I purchased 5000 points in order to book Melia Dubai for New Year's Eve. At around 17k in points vs. 340€ cash it was a no brainer.

Just a data point. Booked a Melia in Germany for 12k points and 13 euro a few days ago for one night. The reservation is still there.

Signed up and got error that email already registered. Cleared history and signed up again with new email and got only 2000 points. Promo is misleading, sounds like you have to book cash and points in order to get the 10k, which I believe is not the case. 2000 is pretty much worthless, especially when have several not combinable accounts. 
Good luck!

It was reported upthread that it looks like Melia exhausted the points allotted for the promotion. Based on the homepage I see when I go to their website this sounds accurate. Those of us who got in, received the 12,000 immediately - and can apply to a points and cash booking. They didn't magically appear when choosing the points and cash option.

12000 points not deducted
I have made a cash&points reservation for July (refundable) but the points are not deducted from my account? Is it possible that they will claw all the points back at the end of April and I will still need to come up with the extra 10000 points?
