Club Carlson says the new credit card will be here on December 1:

Site you linked basically gives no information but I do find it interesting that there will be several versions of the card. Based on this I assume we will see something similar to the two HH Amex cards with one having a low or free annual fee and thus not offering much and one offering more at a higher fee.
Let the speculation begin!

Great find! I recently asked on their Facebook page if there was any news about the card and they said no new details were available.

There's even a "Compare the cards" tab that will outline the differences in the cards once the offer goes live. If you live in Düsseldorf I wouldn't get too excited about the cards because I think they will be for US based consumers only if the past rumors are true. (then again you could have a US address as well) Alles ist möglich!

"the new affinity card will have a global roll out.
“We will start with the US and there may be an announcement soon and then we will go to Europe.”

We'll see but I doubt I go for that card anyway unless there is some spectacular sign up bonus. I earn enough points with stays. So far it looks like I will earn around 700K points with Radisson this year, this is only for nights as well as food & beverages.

It just means that there will be an affiinity card in Europe some time after this particular set of affinity cards comes out soon in the US.
(You can already see their wording was sloppy before, since there's more than one affinity card coming in the US, per the website linked above. But their previous wording said "card", singular.)

But that doesn't mean there will be the exact same cards from the exact same bank with the exact same offers and the exact same benefits in Europe as in the US.

It's LIVE !!!!
Just applied.
Great feature....Book 2 or more nights using points, and the last night is FREE.
So, a 2 night stay using points (not cash and points) would only require the amount of points for one night.
3 cards available. Generous opening bonuses (up to 85,000 points) PLUS generous renewal bonuses.
Hope I'm approved !
