Get 2,500 bonus Radisson Rewards points with Dream Deals hotel bookings

UPDATE – DECEMBER 2021:  This article is now out of date, but don’t worry.  We produce a monthly summary of the top hotel bonus point offers – please click HERE or use the ‘Hotel Offers’ menu above. 

Radisson Rewards is running a global double points promotion until 19th December 2021. You can read our article here and you can register here.

Radisson Rewards has brought back its popular Dream Deals sale for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the United States, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

This offers a double bonus for members, who not only get a 20% discount on their room but will also receive 2,500 bonus Radisson Rewards points with each booking.

Dream Deals are available for booking until 31st December.  You must be a Radisson Rewards member to get the full 20% sale discount.  Stays must be completed by 29th February.

Deals cover all brands – Radisson Blu, Radisson RED, Radisson Collection, Park Inn and Park Plaza are the core UK ones.

I value a Radisson Rewards point at 0.33p, so you’re getting an extra £8 of value per booking from the 2,500 bonus points.  For a cheap Park Inn stay this makes a substantial difference.

I need a hotel at Stansted for early February, so I am very tempted to try the Radisson Stansted Airport – which we’ve never reviewed on Head for Points – and pick up the extra points.  Remember that Radisson Rewards Gold status (benefits here) is available to you for free if you have an American Express Platinum card.

Full details of the Dream Deals sale are on the Radisson website here.

How to earn Radisson Rewards points and status from UK credit cards (December 2021)

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 include:

• 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 two free airport lounge passes.

• The Platinum Card from American Express (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 30,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 90,000 Radisson Rewards points

• American Express Rewards credit card (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 5,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 15,000 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 Gold 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.
