Radisson Rewards have further updated their policy in regards to points expiration and elite status. Previously they extended points expiry by 6 months and extended elite status set to end February 2021 to February 2022. Now they have updated that policy by further extending the pause of points expiration and added an elite earning rollover component. These are some welcome updates to the program seeing how travel is still curtailed. Of course if you have the Platinum Card from American Express you don’t have to worry about losing Gold Elite status since that will automatically update each year you have the card however for those of you who don’t the addition of elite earning rollover will hopefully help you out for 2022. Point expiration suspension: We are extending our pause on the expiration of Radisson Rewards points. Any points that were set to expire between March 1, 2020 and March 30, 2021 will now expire on March 31, 2021, if the account remains inactive. Elite status extension: We have extended your 2020 status – whether it’s Silver, Gold or Platinum – through February 2022, for those whose status would have expired in February 2021…
