Save 20% on Radisson Rewards hotel points redemptions this week
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
Radisson Rewards, the Radisson / Park Inn / Park Plaza loyalty scheme, has been running a series of ‘member exclusives’ offers.
Last week it was offering a 20% discount on transfers to airline miles.
More interestingly, this week it is offering a 20% discount on free night redemptions.
There is a bit of small print to note. Importantly, it isn’t actually a 20% discount – it is a 20% rebate.
This is not just semantics. It means that you need to have the ‘full’ price of the room in your Radisson Rewards accounts. Whilst a 70,000 points room will only cost you 56,000 points with this offer, you need to book it for 70,000 points and then wait for 14,000 points to be returned to you within 30 days of checking out.
Secondly, there is a limit on when you can stay. Bookings under this offer must be completed by 31st March 2020.
I usually value a Radisson Rewards point at 0.33p, so you should be able to get around 0.4p via this offer.
Radisson Rewards is an EXCELLENT American Express Membership Rewards transfer partner. You receive three Radisson Rewards points for every Amex point you send over, which means you can usually get over 1p per Amex point of value via free Radisson rooms.
Unfortunately, Amex transfers to Radisson Rewards are slow according to our last crowdsourced list of Membership Rewards transfer times. Four days seemed to be average but we had one case of it taking seven days. This is not ideal because you need to book your Radisson redemption by 20th November in order to receive your 20% points rebate.
Full details of the Radisson Rewards 20% points rebate can be found on the Radisson site here.
