Also, Platinum gets you standard suite upgrades (to be fair, I've been upgraded to suites as a Gold in EMEA; rare, but it happens), which could come in handy for your wife & kid. If you match it to Radisson Rewards, Platinum in EMEA gets you 2 breakfasts and depending on the kid's age, some hotels feed them for free anyway.

I don't know how Hyatt status matching works, but you may or may not have to provide your stay history with the competitor for the last 12 months, in addition to the proof of status. And you'll have to research what status Hyatt will match from Radisson Americas Platinum. If they don't give Globalist, it may not be worth it.

Personally, if I had gotten the targeted offer, I would've gone for it, even though Radisson (both Americas & Other) is far from my go-to hotel option (more like the 3rd or 4th backup of a backup). One $100-150 stay at a Country Inn is a small price to pay for Platinum in Radisson Americas through 2/2024, or the Choice equivalent when they combine. IIRC, Choice has some good hotels outside of the US, so perhaps Choice status can come in handy. Keep in mind that you can still match Radisson Americas to Radisson and vice versa. At the very least, you'll get to enjoy the latter until 2/2023 or maybe even 2/2024 if the Choice acquisition goes slowly.
