Last chance to book Club Carlson redemptions before rates go up

June 1st sees Club Carlson raise the redemption rates for many Radisson, Park Inn and Park Plaza hotels.  London is particularly badly hit with many  properties jumping by a crazy 40% from 50,000 points to 70,000 points per night.

You may want to lock in some redemptions now.  You have nothing to lose as you can cancel your room for a full refund of your points at any time.

Some Club Carlson hotels let you book for more than a year in advance.  If you search for properties in London for Saturday October 6th 2016, for example, all of the Radisson hotels show up – although none of the Park Plaza ones.

More details on the devaluation are in my original article here.

How to earn Radisson Rewards points and status from UK credit cards (April 2024)

Radisson Rewards does not have a dedicated UK credit card. However, you can earn Radisson Rewards points by converting Membership Rewards points earned from selected UK American Express cards.

These cards earn Membership Rewards points:

• American Express Preferred Rewards Gold (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 20,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 60,000 Radisson Rewards points. This card is FREE for your first year and also comes with four free airport lounge passes.

• The Platinum Card from American Express (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 40,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 120,000 Radisson Rewards points

• American Express Rewards credit card (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 10,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 30,000 Radisson Rewards points. This card is FREE for life.

Membership Rewards points convert at 1:3 into Radisson Rewards points which is a very attractive rate.  The cards above all earn 1 Membership Rewards point per £1 spent on your card, which converts to 3 Radisson Rewards points.

Even better, holders of The Platinum Card receive free Radisson Rewards Premium status for as long as they hold the card.  It also comes with Hilton Honors Gold, Marriott Bonvoy Gold and MeliaRewards Gold status.  We reviewed American Express Platinum in detail here.
