UPDATE:

So I just logged onto the Melia account and it still shows 7000 points, so I tried to use the online form and it worked! I immediately got the message "Successful" as well as a huge green check mark next to it! The points were also taken right away from the account. So I guess the guy I was talking to fixed the form but didn't process my request?! Oh well, good to know that at least now they are in the process of being transferred. I will update you guys on what happens!

HTB.
I did get mine back eventually, Melia sent them again during the last week of September, posted a few days later. The 4000 bonus points they give to encourage points & cash booking did not transfer again, but they are in my Melia account.

Have the points been deducted from your account or they are still there?

Points were deducted from Melia account immediately after making request online.

UPDATE:

SIGNIFICANT devaluation of Melia points. :-( Per Melia's website, 6 (SIX!) Melia points now equals 1 (ONE) Miles & More miles...

I have no idea when this was implemented (well after 31 October for sure) but it pains me so much, because I just bought some points that are in the process of being transferred.

Sad sad, sad news.

I will let you guys know if the miles post with the new or old conversion rate.

If you ask me, that's fraud. Clearly fraud!

ADIOS Melia

What a deceiving company. They should give us a three months notice for this kind of enhancement.

I know, it is now cheaper to buy miles from Miles & More itself!

An update:

Points purchased on 01 November, transferred using online form on 12 Nov, Miles posted today (very, very fast) on the 14 Nov. With the OLD conversion rate (2:1)!!!

So I don't know if (or when) the new 6:1 rate will apply. Either way, I won't risk it and I am not going to buy Melia points.
