The Offer
- Radisson Rewards is offering:
- 20% points back on award nights
- 15% points back on giftcard purchases
The Fine Print
- The 20% points back (“Rebate”) Award Night Offer only applies to redemption night (hotel room) stays, at all categories of hotels (“Eligible Stay”) within the Promotion Period and does not apply to other reward options such as Points + Cash room night redemptions. All reservations must be booked and consumed within the “Promotion Period” (the Booking Period and Stay Period combined) using Radisson Rewards points (redemptions). Reservations must be made between January 11 – 20, 2021 (“Booking Period”) at https://www.radissonhotels.com, for Award Night stays at hotels in Categories 1 through 7. Eligible Stay(s) must arrive and depart between January 11 – April 18, 2021 (“Stay Period”).
Our Verdict
Similar deal was available starting in October last year, but that was a 25% rebate on award nights. This deal isn’t as good, but if you have a stay planned during this time then still very useful.
Radisson is now blocking and not allowing points booking beyond September even though they have opneded Cash booking beyond September to December. Very DECEPTIVE devaluation by Radisson!!!!
I will drain ALL the Radisson points the first chance I get and never look back!!
I can understand why you do not like this practice, but it has been that way for years. This is from an awardwallet blog back in 2018 that I stumbled across a couple of years back when I couldn’t book a summer trip in October but saw (cash) availability:
The booking window varies widely between chains. IHG and Marriott allow you to book a little under 12 months out, while Radisson Rewards offers a monster three years for revenue bookings, but just 270 days for free night awards.
