While certainly not the biggest hotel chain in America, Radisson's loyalty program, Radisson Rewards Americas, is a good one.

When you stay at a Radisson hotel in the Americas — which includes properties in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean — expect relatively few add-on fees (i.e. resort fees, parking fees or pet fees) inflating the cost of your stay. Loyalty program members with Radisson elite status can expect generous benefits ranging from welcome gifts to free breakfast.

But perhaps best of all is the number of points you earn for your stay. Radisson is incredibly generous with how many points it gives members for stays — as many as 35 points per dollar spent, if you have the highest level of elite status.

Of course, staying at Radisson hotels in the Americas isn’t the only way to earn Radisson Rewards Americas points. If you want to boost your balance in the Radisson Rewards Americas loyalty program, keep reading to learn the 10 best ways to earn Radisson points.

How the Radisson Rewards program split affects earnings

Radisson’s loyalty program split into two: Radisson Rewards Americas and Radisson Rewards. That means the process for earning and redeeming rewards is now separated, so that rewards earned in one program can only be redeemed in that same program.

Radisson Rewards Americas covers properties in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Radisson Rewards covers properties in Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Africa.

You have to transfer your points between programs in order to use them for trips that fall under the other program's geographic purview. So, that means frequent hotel stays at a Radisson in the U.S. won’t do much to help fund your European vacation (without the added transfer step).

While it is easy to transfer points between the two programs and usually takes less than 24 hours, the delay can still be slightly annoying for travelers in either direction who might not be able to use points as seamlessly as they anticipated being able to.
