Radisson goldpoints plus - Upgrade with points possible?

I would like to upgrade to a suite with points at a Radisson hotel. Is this possible. I am a golpointsplus Gold Elite member.

It's possible. You have to ask for a instant uppgrade on points. It takes 10 000 points for every level of uppgrade. So if you have booked a Business class room, you would have to pay 10 000 for a Junior suite, and 20 000 for a higher class suite. The amount should correspond to a per night rate. But you could be lucky aswell. I asked for a uppgrade in Lucerne last weekend. Even though i stayed two night they only withdrawed 10 000 points! Could be that the elite status helped me out.

10,000 points for a one level upgrade???

Considering it takes a few stays to earn 10,000 or so points this just confirms that Goldpoints redemptions are poor value for money compared to the IHG earnings and redemptions.

I'm glad I move mine to BA miles.:D:D:D:D

So you are saying that I need to ask for the upgrade at check in, right?

This is funny. I sent an email to the hotel I want to stay in and asked them where I need to ask for the upgrade. They told me I have to go to the goldpoibntplus website.... Of course I did not find anything on the website...

Normaly you ask at the check in. If i were you i would try to send the hotel a e-mail the day before and ask if they have anything available for uppgrade. I have done this 3 times and always had success.(* Berlin, Vienna, Budapest)

It's rather strange though that the 10 000 uppgrade option is not mentioned on the rzgp-website. It was until a year ago. Anyone who has a theory on why?

It's not that bad, I started my holiday with 230,000 points, I've had 4 reward nights and still have 138,000 points left over.

Stays were:

1 night Alesund
2 nights Oslo
1 night Lilliehamer

That doesn't sound too bad compared to 10k for an upgrade.

A quick search revealed that my fav hotel in Manchester centre would need 60k per night. Considering how long it would take me to accrue that number of miles I will look further afield for some reward night action.

Does anyone know of any points promotions designed to help boost balances from each stay?
