I believe Radisson/Goldpoints does the automatic conversion to air miles in chunks of 50,000 Goldpoints (12,500 miles). The following appears on the Radisson website at:

http://www.radisson.com/RAD/Gold_Rew...?P0=&P1=redeem

"Exclusive Radisson Airline Partner Rewards
Only a Radisson Gold Rewards member is entitled to redeem Gold Points to airline miles at a 4:1 ratio. Redemptions are available at 2,000; 6,000; 10,000; 20,000; and 50,000 Gold Point increments. PARTICIPATING AIRLINE MILES PARTNERS: Air Canada, American, America West, Asiana, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Continental, Delta, EL AL, Gulf Air, Icelandair, Latin Pass, Mexicana, Midwest Express, Northwest, Qualiflyer, TWA, United, US Airways"

Also, in a response to an e-mail inquiry about my account, Goldpoints said that "points are converted on a weekly basis."

However, it sounds like they actually CONVERT 50,000 points per day, and POST them (i.e., up to 350,000 points or 87,500 miles plus bonuses) once a week.
