Radisson Rewards members can earn up to 50,000 bonus points in a calendar year by referring friends to Radisson Rewards.

This program is quite similar to Marriott’s Refer a Friend Program.

You earn 5,000 bonus points, once the person you referred completes their first stay at a participating Radisson hotel. You can earn up to a maximum of 50,000 points in a calendar year.

The person you referred to Radisson Rewards will also earn a bonus of 5000 points after their first stay, in addition to the regular reward points earned for the stay.

You can read more about the program on the Refer a friend page here.

Although Radisson Hotels Americas has been acquired by Choice Hotels, Radisson hotels and Radisson Rewards continue to operate worldwide.

Unfortunately, the value of the Radisson Rewards program has decreased significantly, and we no longer recommend booking directly with Radisson. It is often better to book through online booking sites, even if they offer only a small discount (still better than points).

The only situation where it is advisable to use Radisson Rewards is when your company has a partnership with them, and you are required to stay at their hotels.

How to refer a friend to Radisson Rewards?

To refer a friend to Radisson Rewards, you need to be a Radisson Rewards member first.

If you are already a member, log in to your Radisson Rewards account, and scroll down to find your referral link.

Share this link with your friend. Once they enroll through this specific link and complete their first eligible stay within 365 days after registering, both of you will earn 5,000 bonus points.

Note that your referral link contains your Radisson Rewards number. Be careful who you share it with.

Good to know.

To ensure a smooth referral process and the awarding of bonus points, please keep the following terms in mind:

1. Member Recognition: You must be logged in as a member of Radisson Rewards to be able to refer a friend.

2. Referral Process: Referrals must be made through the referral link available in your member’s account. No other form of referral will be valid for receiving bonus points.

3. Earning Bonus Points: To earn the 5,000 bonus points, the referee must:

   • Enroll through the specific link provided by the referrer.
   • Book an eligible stay through one of Radisson Hotel Group’s direct channels (Web, App, Contact Center or Hotel) within 365 days after registering through the referral link.
   • Provide their Radisson Rewards number during booking.
   • Check out of the property after completing their stay.

4. Awarding Bonus Points: The bonus points will be credited to both the referrer and referee accounts 5 to 7 business days after the referee’s check-out.

5. Maximum Bonus Points: As a Radisson Rewards member, you can earn up to 50,000 bonus points per calendar year through the Refer a Friend program. Once you reach this limit, you can still refer friends into the program, but no additional points will be awarded to you. However, any persons you refer into the program will still earn 5,000 points after their first eligible stay.

Bottom-line.

Earn 5,000 bonus points for each friend you refer to Radisson Rewards after they complete their first stay. You can accumulate up to 50,000 referral points per year. Plus, your referred friend will also receive 5,000 bonus points upon completing their first stay.
