Radisson Hotel Group does not guarantee transfer of points after death. Lifetime planning provides options for managing points and controlling who has access to them.
Members can transfer points to other Radisson Rewards members while their account is active. This may involve a fee, but it is the most straightforward way to share points with family.
How to protect your Radisson Rewards points
7 lifetime planning steps for your Radisson Rewards points:
Family sharing
Radisson Rewards has no family pooling or household account. What it has is a member-to-member points transfer, described in Section 6.d.i of the Program Terms: a member may transfer points within the programme to a maximum of five members per month, a receiving member may not accept points from more than five accounts in one month, the maximum a member can receive by transfer is 100,000 points per month, and to complete or receive a transfer a person must have been a Radisson Rewards member for more than 30 days. The Terms state no fee for a member-to-member transfer and draw no distinction between Elite and non-Elite members. Points may also be donated to certain non-profit organisations chosen by Radisson, and may be purchased through Points.com when Radisson offers that option; "any other sale, purchase, barter, auction, gift, transfer, or assignment of points" outside the Program Terms is prohibited and will not be honoured, so points cannot be moved into an airline or other partner programme. Points can be redeemed with Radisson partners and a member may book an Award Night as a gift for a friend or family member, which is the practical way to spend a balance on someone else.
Should you save your passwords for your family?
Some people store account passwords so a family member can sign in later. The practice has three practical limits:
- Two-factor authentication often blocks it. Most accounts require a second factor — a code sent to a phone, an authenticator app, a passkey, or a physical key. A saved password alone frequently does not grant access, and the recovery codes that would are easy to lose or let go stale.
- It usually conflicts with the platform's terms. Most operators prohibit account sharing and signing in as another person, including after a death. Stored credentials are not the operator's recognized access path, and using them can violate the terms of service.
- Operators provide other paths. Where an operator offers a designation tool — Apple's Legacy Contact, Google's Inactive Account Manager, a beneficiary designation — that mechanism grants access the operator recognizes. A password manager's own emergency-access or legacy feature passes credentials through a controlled process. Digital assets named in a will or trust give a fiduciary authority under each state's Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA).
Frequently asked questions
Yes, within limits set by Section 6.d.i of the Terms. A member may transfer points to a maximum of five members per month; a receiving member may not take points from more than five accounts in one month and may not receive more than 100,000 points by transfer in a month; and to make or receive a transfer a person must have been a Radisson Rewards member for more than 30 days. The Terms state no fee. Points cannot be moved into an airline or other partner programme — any transfer or gift of points outside the Program Terms is prohibited and will not be honoured.
They can be cancelled for inactivity. If there is no points activity in the account for any 24-month period, Radisson may void and cancel any or all of the points, at any time, in its sole discretion and without notice or liability. Qualifying earning or redemption activity resets the period. After a death, the one-year Upon Death deadline is the operative date.
No. There is no beneficiary designation feature in the programme. The Upon Death clause operates after death, on a request that encloses proof of death and proof of authority. The practical preparation is to make sure the intended person already holds a Radisson Rewards account, and to leave the membership number and the one-year deadline with the estate papers.
Listing the Radisson Rewards account in an estate inventory identifies it for a fiduciary, who works through the operator's official channels to manage or close it.
Radisson Rewards does not offer beneficiary designations, so there is no program-level mechanism for directing points to a specific person at death.
