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. | |
|---|---|---|
| stc tamayouz | Members earn 1 Tamayouz Membership Point for every 1 SAR paid on stc bills within 28 days of bill issuance. Payments after the 28-day window do not earn points. Tier thresholds within a calendar year: Gold (7,800 points), Platinum (24,000 points), Diamond (48,000 points) |
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). | |
|---|---|---|
| stc tamayouz | Tamayouz Membership Points themselves are not redeemable - they only determine tier status. Tier benefits are delivered as monthly free-service allowances managed through the "tamayouz keys" system: each member receives 100 keys per period to allocate across calls, SMS, domestic data, international minutes, GCC and international roaming data, scholarship-country call reception, ringback tones, and call screening. Diamond and Platinum members also receive free GCC and international roaming data allowances. All members get free stc tv premium subscription. Additional benefits include vanity number discounts (30% Gold, 50% Platinum, 70% Diamond), priority customer care, and bill payment extensions of 2–5 days. Members manage allocations through the mySTC app or portal. |
