Many of you are very interested in airline milage, so the Radisson Goldpoints program should be mentioned. At 100,000 miles in the inside flyer example, makes it is a strong program. I have found their hotels to be cheaper than most Starwood, Hilton, Marriot, Hyatt, etc. Their 500/1000 point bonus for online reservation/check in, do add up; as well as their business rate that includes an additional 2,000 points. The new promotion for Elite members, five stays= 20,000 bonus points is a great thing; when combined with 1/2 off a four night point stay. Also Radisson does have a credit card and gives points for event planners.

I really feal this this program does not get the respect it deserves and is often overlooked because the lack of recognition and stated up-front benefits. Lastly, their is a Goldpoint chart that showes that Radisson is stronger then the others (in their full service hotels). One final side note, their Regent brand is equel to Four Seasons etc.; however the others (ultra-high end brands) give no points and have no loyalty program.
