The Radisson Points Calculator will calculate total Radisson Points based on spend, elite status, and whether or not you use a Radisson credit card to pay. This page also breaks down everything about how points are calculated.
Radisson Points Calculator For Stays
The Radisson Points Calculator will calculate total Radisson Rewards Points based on your spend, elite status, and if you use a Radisson Rewards credit card. Some Radisson credit cards offer elite status, thus the results from any status lower than what the card offers will not be listed.
How To Earn Radisson Points On Stays
Before you're able to earn Radisson Rewards Points, you'll need to have an account and know which brands you can book with.
Sign Up For A Radisson Rewards Account
In order to obtain Radisson Points, one must have a Radisson Rewards account. Signing up for a Radisson Rewards account is free and easy to do. When booking your stays with Radisson, you'll want to make sure you're signed into your account so that you receive your points and credit towards elite status.
Book Direct With Radisson
If you want to earn Radisson Rewards Points when staying at Radisson brand hotels, you'll need to book directly with Radisson. This means booking on radissonhotels.com, over the phone through Radisson's reservation line, or through a Radisson-owned mobile app.
Booking through third parties such as Expedia, Hotels.com, or Agoda.com will not earn you Radisson Rewards Points, you will also not receive credit towards elite status, and if you have elite status the hotel may not honor the benefits/perks that comes with it.
Book direct through radissonhotels.com.
Radisson Hotel Brands
When booking stays at Radisson, it's best to know what brands they own. The main brands of Radisson are:
- Radisson
- Radisson Blu
- Radisson Collection
- Country Inn & Suites by Radisson
- Radisson Red
- Park Inn by Radisson
- Park Plaza
As long as you're logged into your Radisson Rewards account when booking online or you use your membership number when booking over the phone, you'll earn Radisson Rewards Points when booking stays at these brands.
How To Calculate Radisson Points
When staying at Radisson brand hotels, there's three types of points that you can earn: base points, elite points, and credit card points.
Radisson Base Points
Radisson Points are earned at a base rate of 20 points per $1 USD spent. The standard for most hotel loyalty programs is 10 points, so this is a lot higher than most. The drawback to earning so many points is that Radisson Points are typically worth a lot less than other hotel loyalty programs which events it out.
You would earn 2,840 Radisson Points per night ($142 x 20 points).
Radisson Elite Points
Radisson Rewards Elite Status is obtained after meeting a certain amount of nights or stays at Radisson brand properties during the calendar year. As you stay at their hotels more and more, you'll move up through the tiers of elite status which grants benefits such as bonus points, discounts, room upgrades, late check-out, and much more.
| Tier | Requirements | Bonus Points |
|---|---|---|
| Club | Earned By Signing Up | No Bonus 20 Points/$1 |
| Silver | 9 Nights or 6 Stays | +2 Bonus Points 22 Points/$1 |
| Gold | 30 Nights or 20 Stays | +5 Bonus Points 25 Points/$1 |
| Platinum | 60 Nights or 30 Stays | +15 Bonus Points 35 Points/$1 |
Based on your tier, you'll earn additional bonus points on top of your Radisson Base Points. So if you booked a room that was $142 per night and you were a Radisson Gold member, you would receive your normal 2,840 base points ($142 x 20) along with 710 elite status bonus points ($142 * 5) for a total of 3,550 Radisson Rewards Points.
Radisson Credit Card Points
On top of Radisson base points and points earned from Radisson Elite status, you can also earn additional points using Radisson brand credit cards. Radisson offers a small handful of credit cards that can earn you as much as 10 additional Radisson Rewards Points.
Note that Radisson Rewards Points earned from credit card spend are added to your Radisson Rewards account based on when your credit card statement ends. Also, you'll earn Radisson Rewards Points on the entire cost of the stay rather than just the base cost of the room.
As an example, the Radisson Rewards Premier Visa Card earns 10 Radisson Points per $1 when used at Radisson. If the final cost of your room was $170 after taxes, you would earn 1,700 Radisson Rewards Points if you used the card to pay for your stay. You would also receive base points and elite status points. If the base cost (before taxes) was $142, you would have earned a total of 5,250 Radisson Rewards Points (1,700 points + 3,550 points).
Radisson offers two credit cards you can use to earn Radisson Rewards Points on everyday spend.
Summary
Radisson makes it fairly easy to earn a significant amount of points on stays. Combine Radisson elite status with the usage of Radisson Rewards credit cards and you'll be swimming in Radisson Points in no time.
