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.
Just did a quick research. It seems two benefits that are important to me but Rasisson doesn't offer are:
1) Sufficient number of properties
2) Lounge access
Probably points wise it's a good program.
