Yes, but Radisson is only in the bigger towns close the coast. Inland along the fjords, there are no Radissons that I know of, only BW and Choice.

Thanks! Good reason to switch my stays before March 17 to Hilton and hit 20 nights with their current promo before the one from Marriott would kick in.

Wow that would be about a whopping $15 worth of points for a long stay...Marriott generosity knows no bounds

Ever consider that Hilton & Hyatt are more generous with promotions because they aren't filling beds? Personally, I don't really care about promotions. I am not going to forego the benefits I earned to jump to a chain I don't have/care to have status with. Bonvoy has treated me well.

If the rumor is true and the next promo is really 2000 points per stay, it once again rewards members most when they stay only 1 single night at each hotel. When Bonvoy got started just under 2 years ago, they made it very clear that they wanted to do away with people hotel hopping every day and doing mattress runs, to maximise points.
Judging from the promos offered over the past 2 years, that policy was never really implemented, and staying only 1 night at each hotel WAS, and STILL IS, the fastest way to earn points.

Id be okay with 2000 per stay since I typically have about 5 one night stays a month and another 5-6 2 night stays.
That's fetch at least 20,000k just in promotion.
Or maybe just do 1 night stays at Marriott - fetching 10k and 2 night stays at IHG, fetching the nightly stays for 4X.

I'm heading down the same path as last fall, when I earned about 120k Hyatt points during their last double points bonus. My only Marriott stays for the foreseeable future will be burning points or SGS.

if the promo is true its obviously good if you can alter your travel pattern and move between properties, It looks like il be doing nights between Hilton and Marriott to rack up the points in April!
