Good God people - this information has been covered so many times!

You can either:
1) Join goldpoints (AKA gold rewards) thru the www.radisson.com site and get a 4-1 redemption value. The 4-1 info is at:
http://www.radisson.com/RAD/Gold_Rew...?P0=&P1=redeem

OR

2) Join goldpoints thru some other method (like TGIFridays) and get a 10-1 ratio on fewer airlines.

So, obviously, do #1. And yes, it works!

You actually call GoldPoints.com customer service for point->mile transfers. They can tell your GoldPoints number was created thru Radisson rather than TGIFridays by the start of the number, so you *will* get the 4-1 ratio (ask if you are worried). You can also set up automatic point transfers when threshholds are reached (2K minimum points must be transferred).
