Over the past few weeks as travel has slowly started to trickle back
into people’s lives we’ve started to see hotel chains respond with new
systemwide bonus offers. This is not lost on any of those chains and
they know to encourage bookings and actual stays they will need to put
out some attractive incentives. Step in Radissson Hotels Group and their
Radisson Rewards program who this week revealed one of the best hotel
promotions for this new era of travel.
The bonus is a flat 5,000
Radisson Rewards points per stay. Simply register for it before your
first stay and you will earn that bonus on each and every stay until the
end of the year. The promotion is capped at 30 stays for a potential of
150,000 bonus points and with the way travel is right now I don’t think
many people need to be concerned about reaching that cap. Other than
that no other restrictions are really in place as even award nights will
earn the 5,000 bonus points! Since it is a flat rate bonus the biggest
value comes from one night stays preferably at cheaper hotels but no
matter what getting that 5,000 extra points per stay is something you
want to make sure you take advantage of. Most people value Radisson
Rewards points between C$ 0.5 and 0.7 cents which translates to those bonus
points being worth around $25 to $35.
Offer details:
Earn 5,000 Bonus Radisson Rewards points on each stay at all Radisson
Collection, Radisson Blu, Radisson, Radisson RED, Park Plaza, Park Inn
by Radisson, and Country Inn & Suites by Radisson hotels worldwide. Full details, online registration & booking (Registration is required) Until Dec 31, 20
Here’s an example of one those lower rate one night stays at the Country Inns Saskatoon in the midle of August:
A one night stay here would earn around 1,100 base points + the 5,000 bonus points for a total of 6,100 points. If you take the low end value of 0.5 cents per point you are getting a $30 return on that $80 stay. That’s a pretty good return! Plus if you have elite status in the Radisson Rewards program you’ll earn even more points. (Gold Elite comes free with the Platinum Card from American Express)
