If you want to top up your Radisson Rewards account, you can do so with a 50% bonus on points purchased through January 13, 2025. Be careful, though, as Radisson Rewards is a fully dynamic, entirely revenue-based award system, and your points won’t go as far as they will with other loyalty programs.

Radisson Rewards Loyalty Program

Before reviewing the details of the sale, there are a few points worth mentioning:

  • Radisson Rewards covers Radisson Hotels properties in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East. Radisson properties in the Americas are now part of Choice Hotels and are under the Choice Privileges umbrella.
  • Radisson Rewards’ points bookings are entirely revenue-based, so the cost of a room in cash equates to a specific amount of points you’ll need to spend, though that number changes as points aren’t worth a fixed amount.

While this sale may offer Radisson Rewards points at a discount, you’ll want to be mindful of the expense and valuation because the points are essentially just going towards a cash rate.

Buy Radisson Points With a 50% Bonus — Details

This is not a tiered sale and doesn’t appear to be targeted. Thus, everyone should see the same bonus offer:

  • Purchase 1,000 to 250,000 points with a 50% bonus (roughly 0.39 cents per point)

You can purchase a maximum of 250,000 points annually. If you were to purchase that amount, you’d spend almost $983 during this sale.

You can access the sale through Radisson’s dedicated buy and share points website. Since this purchase is processed by Points.com and not by Radisson, it won’t count as a hotel or travel purchase. Use your best credit card for everyday spending for the best return when buying Radisson points.

We value Radisson Rewards points at 0.25 cents per point. In general, purchasing through this sale is only practical if you’re topping up your points balance to make a redemption. Buying points to cover the entirety of a new redemption won’t make sense in most cases, given the relatively low value of these points.

Hot Tip:

Check all the cash rates you’re eligible for before buying hotel points. This includes eligible corporate, government, or AAA/AARP rates. These discounts can often yield a better discount than buying points.

Final Thoughts

Given the program’s dynamic pricing structure, we don’t recommend buying points through this promotion. That’s because Radisson Rewards points are essentially a cash equivalent. As a general rule, check the cost of a paid booking before buying points with any loyalty program since you can often pay less by booking outright. This is especially true for programs with dynamic pricing, given that they loosely peg the value of points to a cash rate.
