Amongst all my memberships, the one that makes me cringe is Radisson Goldpoints. I stayed for two years at a Radisson (when 4 goldpoints = 1 mile) and they suddenly changed the ration to 8:1. (wasn't on flyertalk then, otherwise could've still salvaged some miles at 4:1) There was a Marriott closer to my place of work, but I still went and stayed at the Radisson. That makes me cringe!

Until recently, there was no redemption available globally. and now that it is, all the hotels outside the Americas seem to be ridiculously priced (for goldpoint awards, that is).

I hate it - just want to finish off my balance by redeeming some nights in the US and then throw the card away!!!

Just venting...
