Earning structure
| Radisson Rewards | Members earn Radisson Rewards points on every paid stay at participating Radisson Hotel Group properties globally. Earn rates vary by tier: Club (entry, default) earns 9 points per USD spent on eligible room charges (excluding taxes and fees); Premium earns 27 points per USD; VIP earns 36 points per USD. Points also accrue on hotel incidentals charged to the room at participating properties. Members can also earn through Radisson promotional offers and the unique Discount Booster (2026) which trades fewer points for a higher instant discount (up to 20%) on the stay. Points can be purchased (up to 250,000 per year) but purchased points don't count toward elite status qualification. There are no Radisson Rewards credit cards available - co-brand cards were discontinued globally. | |
|---|---|---|
| Shukran | Members earn Shukrans on every purchase at Landmark Group brands and partners across the GCC, Jordan, and Egypt. The earn rate is tier-based: Classic members earn 17 Shukrans per 100 SAR, Silver 18, Gold 19, and Platinum 21 - equivalent to roughly 0.85% to 1.05% back. |
Redemption structure
| Radisson Rewards | Points redeem for award nights at any Radisson Hotel Group property worldwide. Standard room award nights start from 9,000 points, or 5,000 points with the Points + Cash option for partial payment. There are no blackout dates on standard room redemptions. Uniquely, members still receive elite benefits (room upgrades and late checkout) when booking with points — unlike some hotel chains. Award pricing is increasingly dynamic since 2022, though some sweet spots remain on the award chart. Members can also redeem for gift cards, merchandise, travel experiences, and donations to charity. Limited airline and travel partner transfer options exist but generally offer poor value due to the compressed point value (~0.25 cents USD per point industry valuation). | |
|---|---|---|
| Shukran | Shukrans redeem at a fixed rate of 200 Shukrans = 10 SAR (1 Shukran = 0.05 SAR) at any participating Landmark Group brand or partner outlet across the GCC, Jordan, and Egypt - both in-store and online. Minimum redemption threshold is 200 Shukrans. |
