Radisson Rewards, the loyalty programme for hotel brands like Radisson Blu and Park Plaza, has unveiled its latest award category changes.

As you would probably expect, the changes are broadly negative, with a clear majority of the hotels changing category requiring more points per night in future. Note that the changes do not go live until 1st March 2019, so you can book any dates in the booking window at current rates until then.

In the UK (highlighted in bold below) 6 hotels are going up, with just 1 – the Radisson Blu Durham – going down.

More widely, the only consistently cheaper destination is Dubai, with 6 hotels going down a category and none going up. There’s a new category 1 in Istanbul – the Radisson Blu Conference and Airport Hotel (previously category 2), and the Radisson Hotel Barra Rio de Janeiro drops 2 categories and now requires just 28,000 points per night, rather than 44,000.

Here’s the full list:
