Best option for Bali?

Axis with its nonsensical MBPs and ERs glitchy interface saved me from transferring out and wasting a good amount of points on United 😂

Blessing in disguise 🤞

Going the Maple Way instead!

Nah, Accor won't change their fundamentals without notice. Also they just released their updated T&C for 2024 just 3 days back in which they re-affirm the 1000 points = 20 Euro.
