Radisson Rewards: 15% points rebate when you redeem for airline miles or gift cards

Registration is required for the offer so make sure you do that before redeeming.

Earn 2x points for stays at Choice Hotels from Nov 29 to Dec 31

 
We’ve been without a systemwide promo from Choice Hotels for a couple of weeks now – in part due to their Members Madness promo last week but now they have revealed a good offer for stays for the rest of the year (well stays from November 29 and on). The offer awards double points on all qualifying stays which is good for those longer or more expensive stays since you aren’t capped with a flat rate bonus.
