The Gold Points Plus number is the same as your old account number - since all Gold Points account numbers start with the same 6 digits, they dropped them from the front of the card and just put them on the back of the card - something about believing guests can more easily remember their 10 digit account number rather than a 16 digit number...

Redemption amounts did increase, but it may be easier to receive redemptions now because there are point bonuses for elite members. You can also receive 1,000 points for booking via the Gold Points Plus website or the Radisson/Country/Park websites.
