Now through October 15, 2023, you'll get 100% bonus miles when transferring Choice Privileges points to United miles. That certainly improves the transfer ratio, but we still generally don't recommend transferring most types of hotel points to airline miles. In this post, we dig into the numbers to show you what might make sense.

After a bit of a gap, Radisson Rewards is finally releasing some new promotions. The newest Radisson promotion offers members a 30% discount and 2,500 bonus points per stay on advance bookings before September 12, 2023. Plus, members can also earn 3,000 bonus points after downloading the app and making their first booking.

Your Radisson Rewards Points may expire if you have no points activity on your account for 24 months. Activities that count toward extending the validity of your points include earning, redeeming, and donating points.

The merger of Radisson Rewards Americas into Choice Privileges is complete, but there were a few outstanding questions. Given that the programs had different points expiration policies and different thresholds for earning status tiers, how would the integration work for these elements? What would happen to your points and to your former elite status from Radisson Rewards Americas?

Radisson Rewards is one of the successors to the previous Club Carlson program, covering Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific regions. Let’s take a deep dive into Radisson Rewards to understand what it offers.

Similar to Hyatt's new hotel bonus, Radisson Rewards is offering members 2,000 bonus points when staying at new hotels six months after their openings. But, you must register to earn these bonus points. Once you do, earnings will be automatic — even if you don't seek out a new hotel. Here's the list of qualifying hotels and how to register.

The traditional route to elite status, earning the base number of points or night credits needed for each elite tier within a hotel chain, requires a substantial investment of time and money. Thankfully, we have several options that will allow us to get hotel elite status for free - or nearly free.

Earlier this year, Radisson Rewards split in two. Now the Radisson Rewards Worldwide program (for hotels located outside the Americas) has devaluated several parts of the program. Members earn fewer points, points are worth less, etc. Here's a summary of changes, and what you can do about them.

Radisson Rewards Americas (not Worldwide) is running a promotion this month to get a 25% rebate when booking RewardSaver rooms before October 19, 2022. This could be a good promotion to take advantage of if you have some trips planned before the holidays start.

You can buy Radisson points with a 50% bonus through October 14, 2022. This falls short of the best promotion we've seen on Radisson points. But it can make sense in a few situations to buy points to save on stays. Let's look at whether this deal is "worth it" or not by going through a few examples.
