You'll need to provide your name, email, phone number, country of residence, and preferred language. You'll also set an account password. The signup process is free and takes only a few minutes. Once enrolled, you can start earning and redeeming points.<\/p>\nOnce you've created your new loyalty program account, make sure to link it to your AwardWallet account<\/a>. Don't have an AwardWallet account yet? Sign up for free<\/a> and track unlimited rewards programs and travel plans.<\/p>\nCredit: Radisson Rewards<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\nU.S. residents who were part of the previous program (before the split) would have had a Radisson Rewards Americas account after the split. If you're in this boat, you'll need to create a new Radisson Rewards account. Members in the region covered by the Radisson Rewards “international” program will have kept their accounts.<\/p>\n
Add your Radisson Rewards account to AwardWallet<\/span><\/h3>\nMake sure to add Radisson Rewards to your AwardWallet account<\/a>. AwardWallet will track your reservations, points balance, expiration, elite status, and any credits or promos associated with your account.<\/p>\nCredit: AwardWallet<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\nIf your points or elite status are set to expire soon, AwardWallet will email you a series of reminders. You can also use AwardWallet to log in to your Radisson Rewards account with just one click.<\/p>\n
AwardWallet Plus<\/a> members also see their program earnings, redemption history, and progress toward the next tier of elite status.<\/p>\nYou can also track accounts for friends and family with AwardWallet. Log in to AwardWallet<\/a> through a web browser or the AwardWallet app (iOS<\/a>,\u00a0Android<\/a>) to add a second account or a different program. Then click the “Add Award Program to Track”\u00a0button and enter the program's name.<\/p>\nWays To Earn Radisson Rewards Points<\/span><\/h2>\nCompared to other hotel loyalty programs, Radisson Rewards offers generous earning rates, especially for elite members. However, because the program uses dynamic award pricing and points aren't particularly valuable, those high earning rates don't necessarily translate into outsized rewards.<\/p>\n
You can earn Radisson Rewards points in several ways beyond hotel stays. Let's walk through all the ways to grow your Radisson Rewards balance.<\/p>\n
Hotel stays<\/span><\/h3>\nYou'll earn 8\u201336 Radisson points per $1 spent on Radisson room rates and food and beverage charges billed to your room. Here's how many Radisson points you can earn during your stay, based on your elite tier:<\/p>\n
\n- Club member:<\/strong> 8 points per $1<\/li>\n
- Premium member:<\/strong>\u00a027 points per $1<\/li>\n
- VIP member:<\/strong> 36 points per $1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Earnings really jump for Premium elite members.\u00a0Based on an average value of 0.41 cents per point<\/a>, Premium members receive roughly an 11.1% return on eligible spending, while VIP members receive roughly 14.8%.<\/p>\nNote that earning rates at Prize by Radisson properties are 50% of what you get at all the other brands.<\/p>\nCredit: Radisson Rewards<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\nPremium and VIP members can activate Discount Booster to save up to 20% on eligible bookings. However, doing so sharply reduces the points earned on the stay: Premium members earn 9 points per $1 spent instead of 27, while VIP members earn 12 instead of 36.<\/p>\n
Earn points with partners<\/span><\/h3>\nCurrent ways to earn with Radisson Rewards partners include:<\/p>\n
\n- Rent a car with Sixt or Europcar:<\/strong> Earn 750 Radisson Rewards points per Sixt rental, plus save up to 15%. As a Radisson Rewards member, you'll earn up to 300 points per day with Europcar, up to a maximum of 1,800 points per rental.<\/li>\n
- Shop at Bicester Village:<\/strong> Earn 10 points for every euro or pound spent at any of the nine Bicester Villages in Europe. There are also two villages in China where you can earn 10 points for every 10 yuan spent. Present your Radisson Rewards membership card and receipts at the Village Information Center to receive points.<\/li>\n
- Book a Radisson Rewards Experience:<\/strong>\u00a0Book a tour, activity, or other experience through Radisson Rewards<\/a> and earn 15 points per $1 spent.<\/li>\n
- Host a meeting or event at a Radisson property:<\/strong> If you join Radisson Rewards for Bookers and Planners<\/a>, you'll earn 10 points per $1 spent on eligible room bookings made for others. You can also earn 5 points per $1 spent on meetings or events<\/a>, up to a maximum of 250,000 points per booking. Being a Booker and Planner is also a fast track to Premium tier elite status, as you'll receive an upgrade after completing your first booking.<\/li>\n
- Shop at Avolta duty-free stores:<\/strong> Link your Radisson Rewards and Club Avolta accounts to earn 1 Radisson Rewards point for every \u20ac1 (or local currency equivalent) spent at participating Avolta duty-free stores worldwide. You can also match your Radisson Rewards elite status to Club Avolta to unlock additional shopping benefits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

A member can receive no more than 100,000 transferred points from up to five accounts each month, and both accounts must be more than 30 days old.<\/p>\n
Can you earn Radisson points with a credit card?<\/span><\/h3>\nThere is no longer a U.S.-issued Radisson Rewards credit card, and Radisson Rewards is not a transfer partner of a major U.S. credit card rewards program. As a result, U.S. travelers cannot earn Radisson points directly through credit card spending.<\/p>\n

Even a 100% bonus only drops the price to about 0.3 cents per point. That could make sense for a specific, high-value redemption, but we generally wouldn\u2019t recommend buying Radisson points speculatively.<\/p>\nAwardWallet tracks Radisson Rewards points purchase promotions<\/a>, but we don't recommend buying them.<\/p>\nEarning points through promotions<\/span><\/h3>\nRadisson Hotels occasionally offers promotions that let you earn bonus points for nights or stays. For the latest, see our current Radisson Rewards promotions<\/a>.<\/p>\nRedeeming Radisson Rewards Points<\/span><\/h2>\nHotel stays<\/span><\/h3>\nEven with dynamic pricing, redeeming Radisson Rewards points for hotel stays is likely the best value for your points. To book an award stay, search for your hotel and dates as you normally would. Since award prices fluctuate with the cash rate, the number of points required can vary from one stay to the next.<\/p>\n
Here's what the redemption process looks like.<\/p>\n
