As arollins pointed out, are you saying you received 100K for 2 stays at Radisson?

ngupta Jun 19, 2012 3:55 pm

Any new promo codes?
 
I am done with Country Inn stay and unfortunately never booked Radisson while the promo code was available and valid. Looking for a promo code that can be used now. Does anyone knows if new promo code will be coming out any time soon?

Thanks

Yes, you did mention your spouse and having separate bookingso your post. I presume you both have signed up and qualify for the promo. If that is the case, then correct, you will get 100k for Radisson, 88k for PI and 88k for CI, that is a total of 276k + sign in points etc, BETWEEN the two accounts. This is the same thing my wife and I are doing. I already did CI and Radisson, next week my wife will do CI and Radisson, separate days, Friday and Saturday, making a STAYCATION, use the pool, relax, exercise room, sauna. For July 3rd, we are doing PI, 2 separate bookings, one for me, the other for her. Whoever ends up with the best room that is where we stay. Good luck and enjoy.

Wrong! The last NIGHT of the promo is July 14. You have to check out by July 15 per the T&Cs:

Guest must check in for the Qualifying Stay on or after May 15, 2012 and check out must be completed no later than July 15, 2012 ("Promotion Period").

You can still register for the Radisson promo at www.radissonbignightgiveaway.com. However, you will only get 15,000 bonus points now (instead of 50,000).

I have registered for the Radisson Big Night Promo for 50K. What I am looking for is the promo code (25% off or 30% off) that can be used in Radisson brand hotels.

metoo Jun 20, 2012 6:10 am

Used Topcash, checked out this past Monday, have never seen my reservation under "future reservation" or "Recent Reservation" . When I booked a week ago, I had to type in Reservation Code and first and last name to see reservation. However, if i don't use Topcash, I can see reservation on Radisson site right away without typing the reservation code and name.

Is this about right?

Anxiously waiting for posting of points before next week's check in

Ari1 Jun 20, 2012 9:02 am

JUst Received all my Points with an awesome BRG so total for aprox $135 for 2 nights (wife & me) and Received 118k points :)

Thanks for all the good info here

dukie570 Jun 20, 2012 10:23 am

I booked my stay originally through TCB but then did a BRG claim that was successful.

My TCB showed as pending until I completed my stay last weekend and now a note is there saying the vendor rejected it, which I'm assuming is because of the change in rate from the BRG.

So apparently you can't get a refund through TCB if you used a BRG claim as well. Didn't see it discussed but figured I'd throw it out there as a data point.

Yes, the same happened to our BRG reservations. Also, reservations made through TCB for Park Inn never showed up.

Not true. I booked via the radisson web site, searched and paid for the lowest listed price for the room (no coupon, promo code, etc). Checked TCB today, they rejected cashback. So it has nothing to do with BRG. They just refused to pay, period.

TCB = TopCashBack ( http://www.topcashback.com )

BRG = Best Rate Guarantee

highgear Jun 20, 2012 10:53 am

I'll add another note that 2 different stays at Country Inn and Suites where I submitted a BRG but was rejected are now showing that the vendor rejected it on TCB. I have submitted claims on both as I did pay the full rate at which I booked. We'll see what happens.

Also I have had around 165k points post from this promo so far with another 92k or so on the way!

StardustChaser Jun 20, 2012 10:59 am

Data point - I was successful in getting TCB to pay. I originally booked a country inn through TCB, and it tracked. Then submitted a BRG claim, got the lower rate, and it automatically showed up as a separate line item on TCB. The BRG rate just displayed as payable a day or two ago, and the original rate I had booked at showed rejected - which is correct. So YMMV. Lucky me, I guess :)

I have TCB in mine and my wife's account. I notice the one for my BRG was pulled back, then I noticed a new line showing the BRG rate I paid but it is in pending state. I have o Idea what is going to happen. Maybe I should grab the $$ available now so they don't get pulled. My wife has one that is a regular rate and it was recorded and appears to have been rejected.

I hate having to chase down things to get people to do what the promise to do UUGGHH.

There's an entire thread on using TCB for Radisson where this is being discussed. So as not to take over this generic big night giveaway thread.

Radisson just keeps on giving! Besides the 4500 e-rewards sign up bonus, I got 2k for the welcome promo, plus 2k online booking and on top of that the hotel's welcome gift for gold was a choice of items, I chose 3K. After the 20X points per $, and Gold Bonus 50%, I got the 50K. Largest payout ever!!!

Sorry for any confusion...I meant that I'll end up in a city with one on the last day so can still pick up that bonus. Downsides to living in the Caribbean, not much hotel choice for these kinds of things!

18,000 points for booking online
18,000 points for normal earnings (Average of $80.00 per room per night x 25 points per dollar)
414,000 bonus points
4,500 bonus points for signing my grandfather up through e-rewards

Total Cost: $720.00
Total points earned: 454,500

Converting 200,000 points for 36,000 AA miles and using 250,000 points for 5 nights at The May Fair London. I'll use 44,000 existing AA miles to polish off 2 Award tickets to London this fall with the Mrs.

That will do.


Where do the 414k Bonus points come from? Is there another promo?

And how do you get 25pts/$ instead of 20? Due to status?

I think it's...

9 rooms in total: 3 rooms booked by each of 3 people
So 50k + 44k + 44k = 138k for each of 3 people

If I make a reservation with the cash and points and then cancel a reservation before the penalty date , will the points be deposited back in my account right away?

Absolutely.
I did it twice today, switching around some stays at
a Radisson and Park Inn in Dallas.

The points were back in before I could
scroll to the top and see the balance !^

metoo Jun 21, 2012 10:03 pm

Thanks very much. I was able to just change the date and pay the $10 increased fee.

How did you receive the 2k welcome promo on top of the 4.5k e-rewards sign up? Was it not one of the other, depending on what link you signed up via?

I also received both. Not sure how. Pretty sure I only signed up for the 4.5k e-rewards.

I can't see myself ever NEEDING to stay at a hotel near ORD, but I would definitely consider the Radisson if the situation arose.

Have to disagree with you on this one. As I posted to the CC forum, we had a very different experience with the O'Hare Radisson. Room not available 5 hours after check in time. Still had to wait 45 minutes to get to check in. Sleep number bed did not work. Actually out of the last 4 Radisson rewervations we have made, in only one of them did the bed work properly. We find that only one side seems to work.

How quickly have people received their 50k bonus points after completing the stay?

I'd give it 3 days after check-out ... that's how long it takes to post the normal hotel stay points. Once those post, the 44K/50K should post automatically.

flyertm Jun 23, 2012 7:57 am

Received the Topcashback for the Radisson, but not the Country Inn, not the Park Inn. Stayed at all 3 over a week ago. So 1 out of 3 so far. The CI and PI doesnt even show as pending or any record of those 2.

Didn't get the topcash back for Radisson. This really made me mad.

Didn't get anything back either. At least all the stays are under $77.

mommafrica Jun 23, 2012 2:21 pm

This also happened for the Country Inn in Bradenton,FL.

amolkold Jun 24, 2012 1:04 pm

Data point:

Checked in to Country Inn & Suites in Ontario, CA on 6/20. Used the room to take a nap but left before 8pm and didn't check out in person. Points posted today 6/24 (47.4K with 44K bonus).

I don't get what's going on. Do you guys know why TopCashBack isn't giving us our money?

timebuilder Jun 24, 2012 1:22 pm

When I go to my account on TCB and bring up my Cashback By Merchant I see my Country Inn and Suites stays under "retailer"....I hit that link and here is what it says.....

"Transactions completed between May 31 and June 21 may automatically track at $0.00 or be declined. Please accept our apologies and be assured that we are working hard to resolve this matter for valid transactions. If you experience this, please do not worry. Simply send us a ticket via your account and we willl give you an update."

I have not yet tried to contact them but it seems that they are at least aware of the problem.....I had two stays a week and a half ago.....

ORD-TGU Jun 24, 2012 1:52 pm

Transactions show for Radisson and CI&S, but not for Park Inn.

penner42 Jun 24, 2012 3:03 pm

Got my 50k points (+2k online booking, +2635 room cost+silver bonus, +250 food and beverage points, except I didn't buy any food. Gotta check my cc bill) for my stay at Buena Park Radisson Suites. Got a nice room, had a good stay. Saw a fun Angels/Giants game. :)

Went from 0 to 155k points in pretty quickly with this promo, very happy with it. Hope they do similar next year, and I get my fiancee in on it too. :)
