Radisson Rewards has announced a promotion where you will receive 15,000 bonus points for completing an eligible stay of at least one night. There is plenty of time to plan and take advantage of the promotion, since it is valid for stays through December 28, 2018.
Key Terms
- You need to register to receive a 15,000-point bonus
- Registration must occur before checkout of your eligible stay
- Promotion is valid for stays through December 28, 2018
- Make one eligible stay to earn a one-off 15,000-point bonus
- Pre-existing reservations are ineligible for the promotion
- Promotion is valid at Radisson Collection, Radisson Blu, Radisson, Radisson RED, Park Plaza, Park Inn by Radisson, and Country Inn & Suites by Radisson hotels worldwide
- Stays made using points, or points + cash are eligible for the promotion
- Allow 5 days for the bonus points to post to your account
Targeted Or Not
The promotion’s terms and conditions seem to indicate that it is targeted:
(ii) have received a private email invitation to participate in the promotion (“Eligible Member”);
However, even though I did not receive the targeted email, when I tried to register with my Radisson membership number, the Radisson website indicated that I was successful. A few minutes later I received an email confirming that I had registered for the promotion; the same happened for 6 other accounts we tried. While Radisson indicates that the promotion is targeted, it may not be the case, since it seems to be open to everyone.
6,000 Free Points
One of the quirks of the promotion is Radisson allowing stays paid for by points or points + cash to count for the promotion. Staying one night in a category 1 Radisson property will set you back 9,000 points, and you would receive 15,000 points for your stay. This effectively will give you a net 6,000 Radisson points for zero expenditure! One thing about Radisson Rewards that we love is that you can transfer points for free. If your account address matches with someone you can transfer to them without issue; if your address differs you must have elite status for the transfer to go through. Think about the possibility of a family of 5 and some points earning/consolidation here.
Our Take
This is the kind of promotion you should consider; 15,000 points is a healthy return and is enough for a free night at a category 2 property. With plenty of time to take advantage of the promotion, you may want to switch one of your upcoming one-night stays (and the same for a significant other) to a participating Radisson property, to maximize the promotion.

This is very tempting. Effectively buy one get one free.
Good promo but sadly targeted and I didn’t receive.
Did you try to register?
should one keep both starwood and marriott card?
Look at the card benefits and decide if it makes sense for you.
You’d be earning a free night cert from each, so it could be a very easy answer if you’d can those to use every year for a “free” (or at least heavily discounted) 2-night stay.
This sounds like an awesome promotion. I think I will sign up and receive the bonus points. I have my anniversary coming up and it may come in handy these points.
Thank you I will tell my friends about it as well.
This is an attractive offer. With a minimum stay requirement of one night, it should interest travelers in other hotel programs that might not otherwise consider Radisson as their first choice.
Looks like targeted to me…. wish they would open up these offers to everyone
Have you tried to register?
Did not receive the email either and I’m wondering if it will really work. Would be a good promo from Radisson at last.
Oh-so-thank-U! I’m also registered for some other Radisson promo this fall!
Rhetorical Question: Do people even read the post before posting here?
🙁
I didn’t receive email – is it worth to consider to register?
Of course.
I just realized I had 10K points expire with this program. is there a cheap way to keep activity going to avoid the 24 month expiration?
transfer points to someone else at your address.
I have a trip coming up where I was trying to decide whether to stay at an Aloft or Radisson. This clinches the decision 🙂
Very attractive offer with the 1-night stays indeed.
Thank you, this is really good information. Didn’t get email, registered successfully. Does anyone know, if I book radisson on parkplaza.com with aadvantage eshopping button activated, do I get both radisson basic & promotion, and aa mileage?
I suspect you should be fine. I haven’t tried that precise stacking with Radisson, but I have definitely successfully used AA shopping while still being able to receive separate, independent hotel promotions. That sort of stacking has worked for me in the past and usually does not violate terms.
Thank you for your responce. I have completed a stay on Sep.24, so far got base points, and not AA or promotion,. Radisson TIC says, bonus points post together with base points…
There is a similar offer with them right now where you can get 50 000 points after 4 stays
This is a great promo for just a 1 night stay. Signed up.
just booked my room for next week! !
Registered!
Very appealing offer! I’m registered!
I didn’t get credited 15,000 points, and below is Radisson support’s response
From: radissonrewards at radissonhotels.com
Upon review the terms and conditions, to be eligible for the Promotion, you must: (i) be a Radisson Rewards® (formerly Club CarlsonSM) member; (ii) have received a private email invitation to participate in the promotion (“Eligible Member”); (iii) register online at the link provided via email for the Promotion prior to checkout; (iv) provide your Radisson Rewards member number at the time of reservation or at check-in; and (v) book and complete at least one (1) Eligible Stay during the Promotion Period. Pre-existing reservations for stays during the Promotion Period are not eligible.
Therefore, this stay is not eligible for the promo.
The part “(ii) have received a private email invitation to participate in the promotion (“Eligible Member”);” is in BOLD.
YMMV
I registered 4 accounts and only received one confirmation email. Perhaps only one of these accounts was targeted?
