Radisson Rewards is the loyalty program for Radisson Hotel Group, covering hotels across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific under brands including Radisson Collection, Radisson Blu, Radisson, Radisson RED, Park Plaza, and Park Inn by Radisson. The program offers a discretionary estate transfer process with a one-year submission deadline from the date of death. A Radisson Rewards account holds points, Elite status, Elite Night Credits, and Lifetime Membership status; only points transfer to heirs. Note: Radisson Rewards Americas was retired effective July 18, 2023 and Americas balances were converted into Choice Privileges accounts (2 Radisson Rewards Americas points to 1 Choice Privileges point), so account holders in the Americas should reference Choice Privileges for estate procedures rather than this program.
When a Radisson Rewards account holder dies, their points may be transferred to a designated person at Radisson Hotel Group's sole discretion. A transfer is not guaranteed, and satisfactory documentation is required before processing any request.
Members can transfer points to other Radisson Rewards participants while their account is active. Fees generally apply, but this is the most direct way to move points to family members.
What happens at death
Per the Radisson Rewards Terms and Conditions "Upon Death" clause: points belonging to a deceased Radisson Rewards or Radisson Rewards for Bookers and Planners member may be transferred to the account of the deceased member's beneficiary(ies) at Radisson's sole discretion. The deceased member's membership must have been in good standing at the time of death. The transfer request must include documentation showing proof of death (such as a death certificate) and proof of authority to make the request (such as court documents or the decedent's will). Requests must be made within one year of the date of death; otherwise the account is closed and all points are forfeited. Awards, hotel stays, Elite Membership Status, Lifetime Membership Status, Elite Night Credit, and related status benefits do not transfer to the recipient of the points.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Elite Status members can transfer points to any other Radisson Rewards member upon request with no fee. Non-Elite members may only transfer points to another member in the same household, provided both members have been enrolled for at least one year and neither account address was updated within the 30 days prior to the transfer request. Once transferred, points cannot be transferred back.
