If you’re looking to top up your Radisson Rewards account, you can do so with a 40% discount on purchased points now through November 7, 2024. Be careful, though, as Radisson Rewards is a fully dynamic award system that is entirely revenue-based, and your points won’t go as far as other 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. Any Radisson Hotels 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.

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 40% Discount — Details

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

  • Purchase 1,000 to 250,000 points with a 40% discount (0.36 cents per point)

A maximum of 250,000 points can be purchased over the course of a year, and if you were to purchase that amount, you’d spend almost $900.

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. If you’re buying points in this sale, use your best credit card for everyday spending.

We value Radisson Rewards points at 0.25 cents per point. In general, purchasing through this sale really is only practical if you’re very close to a redemption with points you already have. Buying points simply to spend on a new redemption won’t make sense in most circumstances.

Hot Tip:

Since buying points is like buying cash, you’ll want to check all of the cash rates at the property you’re seeking, including eligible corporate rates, government rates, or AAA/AARP. These discounts can often be much more discounted than what buying points would get you.

Final Thoughts

We recommend that you don’t buy many points through this promotion since the points are essentially a cash equivalent. Be sure to check all rates you may be eligible for and see if buying points puts you ahead with the cost of the reservation. If it doesn’t, purchasing a normal cash rate is likely best.
