March 4 Update: Two more Hyatt Hotels opening in Canada in 2021, no new Radisson Hotels coming to Canada this year & up to 40,000 bonus Be Well points

 Here's your Rewards Canada Daily update! Your daily dose (or near daily dose) of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more.

 
Hyatt
released news yesterday about a major expansion to their independent colletion brands and in that news we learned that not only will we be getting one Joie de Vivre hotel in Canada but actually two and both are slated to join JdV by Hyatt Hotels this year! Those hotels are the Anndore Hotel in Toronto and the Walper Hotel in Kitchener. We have updated our New Hyatt Hotel Openings in Canada for 2021 post to reflect theis latest update. We are now expecting Hyatt to open six hotels in Canada this year.

Radisson is offering a 20% rebate on reward nights & points transfers to airline miles

 
Radisson is once again offering a rebate on some of their rewards like we saw this past fall but this time the rebate is a little less (it was 25% in fall). However this time the offer expands beyond free night rewards to include airline transfers as well as gift cards. The rebate is 20% for reward nights and transfers to airlines and 15% for gift cards. The offer is good for redemption made until January 20, 2021 with reward nights having to be consumed by April 18, 2021. Registration for the offer is required.

Earn 5,000 bonus points on every Radisson stay until the end of the year



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)

Radisson Rewards’ summer promo is here – earn 3,000 bonus points per night starting with your 2nd stay


Hot on the heels of our podcast episode on summer hotel promotions we learn of another promotion now! Radisson Rewards is now the latest hotel chain to reveal their summer systemwide global points promotion. This one is perfect for Canadians as there are lots of Radisson Hotel group hotels across our great country so you could line this offer up for your summer travels whether they be by plane, train, boat or car!

Much like its competitors they are only giving bonus points out when you complete multiple stays, which is two in most cases. This promo is quite lucrative though once you do get to your second stay as the bonus is 3,000 bonus points PER NIGHT. Ultimate strategy is to complete a cheap one night stay to get that out of the way and then focus on those stays after to earn the bonus points. Or even if you may only have one two night stay planned try to hotel hop. Stay at one hotel on night one and move to another for night two so you can score those 3,000 points.

Offer details:
Earn 3,000 Bonus Radisson Rewards points for stays at all Radisson Collection, Radisson Blu, Radisson, Radisson RED, Park Plaza, Park Inn by Radisson, Country Inn & Suites by Radisson hotels worldwide starting with your second stay.  Full details, online registration and booking. (Registration is required) May 27 – Aug 31, 19
Maximum of 120,000 bonus points awarded per member during the promotional period.

Once registered you can simply book your stays online at: Country Inns & Suites, Park Inn, Park Plaza, Radisson, Radisson Blu, Radisson Red, or The Radisson Collection.

Here are some other offers to look at as well:
  • 1,000 Bonus Points and up to 15% off for stays at the participating Radisson Blu, Radisson, Park Plaza, Park Inn by Radisson and Country Inn & Suite by Radisson hotels in Asia Pacific. Full details & online booking
  • 2,000 Bonus Points for stays on the Park and Stay Package at Country Inn & Suites® by Radisson at participating hotels in the U.S., Canada and Latin America. Full details & online booking

Radisson Rewards: Earn up to 120,000 Bonus Gold Points for stays at Radisson Hotel Group Hotels


Earlier this month Carlson Rezidor Hotels and Club Carlson re-branded to a more recognizable name as Radisson Hotel Group and Radisson Rewards. Not too long after this re-branding we see the new Radisson Rewards first systemwide global promotion being launched! This offer sees members earning up to 120,000 bonus points for stays at Radisson Hotel Group hotels worldwide. The main thing to note with this promotion is that bonuses kick in after your second night stay (the nights do not have to be consecutive or at the same hotel) and unlike previous Club Carlson promotions this new promotion is starting to follow in the footsteps of programs like Aeroplan where bookings made before the promotion start date are not eligible and also their is shorter registration and booking window than the actual promotion run time. On top of the stay bonuses you can also earn an extra 500 bonus points for each booking made via their app.

Offer details:
Earn up 120,000 Bonus Gold Points at participating Radisson Collection, Radisson Blu®, Radisson, Radisson RED, Park Plaza, Park Inn® by Radisson, and Country Inn & Suites® by Radisson hotels worldwide. Register Online (Registration is required) / then book online at Radisson, Country Inns & Suites, Park Plaza, Radisson Blu, Radisson RED or Park Inn

  • Book & stay 2 nights: Earn 5,000 bonus points
  • Book & stay 5 nights: Earn 15,000 bonus points
  • Book & stay 10 nights: Earn 50,000 bonus points
  • Book & stay 20+ nights: Earn 120,000 bonus points
Plus, earn an additional 500 bonus points for every booking you make using our Radisson Rewards mobile app.

March 5 Update: Episode 40 of our Podcast now available for download, Club Carlson officially becomes Radisson Rewards and more!


Episode 40 of the Rewards Canada Round Up Podcast is here! You can listen to or download it on Apple iTunes, Google Play, our website and Soundcloud.  In this milestone episode we discuss the hot topic of No Foreign Transation fee credit cards, new IHG hotels in Canada, Hyatt's new stay promotion and the very valuable new RBC Avion Visa Infinite sign up bonus!


As we mentioned a few weeks ago, Carlson Hotels and their Frequent Guest Program Club Carlson were going to be re-branded under the Radisson moniker. That change officially happened today with the company now being called Radisson Hotel Group and the FGP being renamed to Radisson Rewards. Most of the program remains the same save for two parts: Elite status qualifying and points earning on stays.



The Elite qualifying requirements have been relaxed, especially for reaching the first level, Silver:
  • Silver Qualification: 9 nights or 6 stays (used to be 15 nights or 10 stays)
  • Gold Qualification: 30 nights or 20 stays (used to be 35 nights or 20 stays) 
  • Platinum Qualification: 60 nights or 30 stays (used to be 75 nights or 30 stays)  
This is good news if you are a Club Carlson Radisson Rewards regular as you can now qualify sooner. Remember as well if you have the Platinum Card from American Express you get Radisson Rewards Gold status automatically.
For points earning, the adjustment to easier elite qualifying doesn't come without any detraction as Silver and Gold members will now earn a little bit less on stays:
  • Base earn rate: 20 points per US$ (no change)
  • Silver earn rate: 22 points per US$1 (used to be 23)
  • Gold earn rate: 25 points per US$1 (used to be 27)
  • Platinum earn rate: 35 points per US$1 (no change)

February 20 Update: Increased fee and benefits on the Business Platinum Card® from American Express® and Carlson Rezidor Hotels to rebrand to Radisson Hotel Group

First update in what seems like ages! Rewards Canada is back from vacation and it's time to play catch up! Lots of you have emailed or asked us questions via blog comments and we'll get to them as soon as we can!


The Business Platinum Card® from American Express® underwent some slight changes. First off it has become more expensive at $499 per year now but to offset that $100 increase American Express has upgraded the Priority Pass offered on th card to not only have the waiver of the US$99 annual fee on that membership but also provide free entrance to the lounges for the cardholder and one guest. That's up to a US$54 value each time you travel. Find out more about The Business Platinum Card® from American Express®

On March 5, Carlson Rezidor Hotels will change their name to Radisson Hotel Group and also rename (and possibly relaunch) Club Carlson to Radisson Rewards. Right now that is all the details we have but will be watching closely on March 5th (or sooner if details are leaked) and pass along any news. If you have read Rewards Canada for some time now you'll know one of our pet peeves is where hotel chains and their associated programs using a nomenclature that doesn't relate to any of the actual hotel properties. There are no Carlson Hotels, there are no Choice Hotels, no Accor Hotels, no Starwood Hotels nor IHG Hotels. In fact we believe it is the reason some of the programs and their credit cards haven't done well here in Canada. When you try to market to the non-frequent traveller (or points/miles know it all) you can't sell your product. The average Canadian does not know Carlson Hotels they know Radisson and the same goes for the other brands. So this will be a welcome chain and hopefully help this brand out worldwide.

September 7 Update: Guide to Points & Miles for Students, Aeroplan earning gone on Calm Air, 15% off Radisson stays

News, Tips & Tricks
Yesterday we released the 13th Ultimate Credit Card feature on Rewards Canada. This one focused on the ultimate wallet for students and it has now also been added to our Guide to Points & Miles for Students. Remember if you are starting or returning to University be sure to check out this guide on how points and miles can be utilized by students.

Aeroplan announced that you will no longer be able to earn miles on Calm Air after October 1st. This is odd in that Aeroplan should be trying to keep as many airline partners (no matter how big or small) as possible with the changes coming along in 2020. The good news is you will still be able to redeem miles on Calm Air for the time being
