We have a biennial odd year (38,000 points, platinum) contract. We get a Junior Suite for a week and sometimes a Master Suite. Our maintenance fee is $916, but I saved 10% this year by paying a bit early. You only pay during your use year. If you’re staying at a resort that is mandatory all-inclusive, you pay that when you get to the resort, and it’s generally around $1500 - $1600 per couple for the week. Yes, you may use your points at any Melia in the world, but European resorts use more points that the other resorts.
