Hi,

I've booked a stay at a Radisson property in London this weekend to trigger the bonus points. I am trying to upgrade the room using some points I already have but the hotel is telling me this can't be done, however they will put in a request for a comp. upgrade for me.

I'm a bit concerned about this - the regular rooms are apparently very small but the hotel is also working out quite expensive compared with what I could get elsewhere in London (£155 room only - I can get Malmaison B&B plus free cocktails for the same price, the Guoman Charing Cross for £85 room only etc).

I'm now wondering if I should be going to this effort to get the 50k points...

Any thoughts?

Thanks
