Radisson Rewards is offering a bonus of 100% when buying points. The promotion will run until 25 October, 2020.

You can buy a maximum of 80,000 points per year (or 160,000 with the 100% bonus applied). The maximum 160,000 will cost you $560. (£435). On a per-point basis that’s 0.35 US cents (0.27p)…

When applied to Radisson’s award chart, you end up with these prices.

  • Category 1 –> 9,000 points = $31.50
  • Category 2 –> 15,000 points = $52.50
  • Category 3 –> 28,000 points = $98.00
  • Category 4 –> 38,000 points = $133.00
  • Category 5 –> 44,000 points = $154.00
  • Category 6 –> 50,000 points = $175.00
  • Category 7 –> 70,000 points = $245.00

That $245 Category 7 night is £190. It is really quite simple to find a London hotel that costs more than £190…

The Bottom Line

A few years ago, Radisson Rewards enhanced away most of its “travel hackable” elements. Left with a mediocre loyalty programme and few elite benefits, it’s much harder to maintain interest in Radisson Rewards. But sometime you’ll find – especially in Scandinavia – that the Radisson Blu option is the best (or even only) points option in town. When that happens, you might be pleased to have 160,000 points in your account…
