What happens to Radisson Rewards at death
- Case by case
Under the Upon Death clause, Radisson may in its sole discretion transfer a deceased member's points to the account of the member's beneficiary, if the request is made within one year of the date of death; otherwise the account is closed and all points are forfeited.1
Naming who acts after a death
- Designation
A member cannot name a beneficiary on the account in advance; after a death, the Upon Death clause lets Radisson transfer the points to the account of the deceased member's beneficiary in its sole discretion.1
