Newsstand - Radisson no longer for non-US members

Got a letter in the mail:
"At this time, due to legal constraints, the Radisson Gold Rewards program is not available to guests living outside of North America."

Guess it's all airmiles from now on then...

What legal restraints???

I guess this means more business for Hilton, Starwood, InterContinental + Holiday Inn, Marriott etc etc etc.

Wake up, Radisson!

This has been discussed in the following thread:

But can US members still use their cards at say, UK properties?
