Haven't we all been wondering about those room upgrades that don't show up when checking in at a Radisson SAS hotel?
Today I got the follwing from FlyingBlue:
We are delighted to invite you to join goldpoints plus, the guest loyalty programme for Radisson SAS and Park Inn. Accept this invitation before 15 May 2006 and you will enjoy even greater rewards. Here's what you can look forward to.
As a Flying Blue Platinum member, you will enter goldpoints plus at Gold status for one year. Achieving Gold status normally requires 35 nights.
It is quite wierd to see a KLM Air France communicé with an SAS logo in it. And how come we don't get this offer? Well, atleast there is no point in waiting for them upgrades no more.
As a sidenote; Flying Blue are actually quite good at these things, they partner with different other companies and manage to "match" you onto their status rather than having some poorly defined perks you should get based on your status in FB. Currently I have got a Sixt Platium card this way, and there are other options too which I haven't pursued as of yet.
And to SAS; your subsidiary is now in bed with the enemy. Might be the time to take that SAS logo off the hotel if other airlines' passengers get more benefits than SAS ones...
