If they would limit promotions to card holders, they would have to make the credit card available outside the US as well or give up non-US customers. Unlikely.
People, don't forget that there is a world outside the US
1. The first 50,000 point promo was US only
2. Hyatt has essentially done this
3. Don't be so touchy
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.
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!
It gives no information because info will be released on Dec. 1. This is similar to what they did with their 50,000 point promos last year, giving notice that the promo is coming, but not releasing details until a specific date.
Hat tip goes to airshadow on Milepoint.

I don't see several versions of the card. I only see the three status levels silver/gold/concierge...

Open up the "About the cards" pull down menu and you will magically see:
Premier Rewards Visa Signature Card
Rewards Visa Signature Card
Business Rewards Visa Card
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.”

I have a US address as well, actually in NJ 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.

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 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.)

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.
Nice! I think I will bite this week on my next churn. Got Flexperks Olympic promo last quarter and am generally happy. Go CC :-)
Looks like their business card is also 85000 points...Not bad for $60 annual...as you get 40k bonus points each year you renew. Also qualifies the redeem 2, get one free award deal...
10 points per $1 spent in eligible net purchases at participating Carlson Rezidor hotels3
5 points per $1 spent in eligible net purchases everywhere else3
Up to 85,000 Bonus Gold Points - receive 50,000 Gold Points after your first purchase plus 35,000 points once you spend $2,500 on your card within the first 90 days1
Earlier I redeemed in Europe and had a really good experience at their Radisson Blu properties over there.
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.
