I just got off the phone with Debbie at Goldpoints...she said that the conversion rate change goes into effect tomorrow as per Radisson's request, but that Goldpoints decided that they needed a greater heads up before switching the rate. they will be sending out either e-mails or letters to all their customers in the next two days stating that the redemption rate will change from 4:1 to 8:1 on June 1. In essence they will be allowing for a one month grace period. I decided not to take any chances and just converted my remaining points while I was on the phone with her. She was nice enough to point out that I was so close to 20,000 (19,825) that she would change my e-mail to get the bonus...but as I had just done that on April 1 she was having a hard time to get the computer to accept it. She logged out and back in for me and it took...thanks to her help I ended up with the 5000 mile transfer.
