Is Gold Rewards Worth It?

Just reserved a $69 rate at the Radisson, New London CT. While I was at it, I joined the program. I noticed the amount of posts (or lack of) regarding the program.

So, is it worth it? I'm currently HH Diamond and MR Platinum (going down to Gold in 2004).

As a hotel program, likely no. As a shopping portal, not too bad.

It is worth joining for two reasons. I rarely stay at a Radisson, but I figure I might as well get SOMETHING when I do.

1. You get 500 points a quarter for updating your E-mail address.

2. If you eat at a TGI Friday's you can earn points.

I have my account set up so that it automatically tranfers to Advantage miles every 1000 Goldpoints I earn. A couple of airport meals and and an E-mail update and I get AA miles.

How long does it take for the points to post for updating your e-mail address? Updated last evening and the points still havn't posted.

It should happen instantly. You actually have to change the E-mail address for the points to appear. I switch between my work and home one. You can opt of all E-mail communication when you do it.
