Radisson Rewards Americas doesn’t exist as its own program anymore. Choice Hotels bought Radisson’s Americas business in 2022, and by July 18, 2023, every former Radisson Rewards Americas member was folded into Choice Privileges. If you’re still searching for a separate Radisson login for a US, Canadian, Mexican, or Caribbean property, that program is gone; Choice Privileges is what runs it now.
Timeline: How the Integration Happened
| Date | What Happened |
|---|---|
| August 2022 | Choice Hotels completes its acquisition of Radisson Hotels Americas, adding roughly 600 hotels to its portfolio. |
| January 31, 2023 | Choice opens a two-way points exchange between Choice Privileges and Radisson Rewards Americas, at 2 Radisson points to 1 Choice point. |
| July 18, 2023 | Radisson Rewards Americas stops functioning as an active program. Members can no longer earn, redeem, or transfer Radisson Rewards Americas points from this date forward. |
| Late 2023 | Choice completes the operational integration, roughly 16 months after the acquisition, migrating remaining Radisson Americas hotels onto Choice’s property management and booking systems. |
What Happened to Existing Radisson Rewards Americas Accounts
Members who had linked their Radisson Rewards Americas and Choice Privileges accounts before the cutover got an automatic transition: existing points converted at the 2:1 ratio, Elite Night Credits moved over, and elite status matched into the equivalent Choice Privileges tier. The match topped out at Choice Platinum, or Choice Diamond if the member had also stayed at a Cambria property, since Diamond wasn’t otherwise reachable through the Radisson match alone.
If you never linked the two accounts before July 18, 2023, there’s no path left to recover that automatic transfer. Any leftover Radisson Rewards Americas points or status from that period are no longer accessible through the old program, since it stopped processing activity entirely on that date.
Which Brands Are Now Part of Choice Privileges
The former Radisson Americas portfolio brought these brands into Choice Privileges across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean:
- Radisson Blu
- Radisson
- Radisson RED
- Radisson Collection
- Radisson Individuals
- Park Plaza
- Country Inn & Suites by Radisson
- Park Inn by Radisson
- Radisson Inn & Suites
Earning and Status at Former Radisson Properties Today
Book any of these properties today and you’re earning standard Choice Privileges points directly, typically 10 points per $1 on eligible rates, the same as at Comfort Inn, Cambria, or any other Choice brand. There’s no separate earning structure carried over from the old Radisson program.
Choice’s own elite tiers now run Member, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and, since a 2026 program overhaul, Titanium at the top. One perk worth knowing if you’re chasing status specifically for these properties: Diamond members get complimentary breakfast at Radisson Blu, Radisson, Radisson RED, and Park Plaza hotels, a benefit that carried over from the Radisson side of the integration rather than being standard across every Choice brand.
Why Choice Bought Radisson Americas
A Worked Example
Say you stayed at a Radisson Blu in Chicago in 2022 and built up a decent Radisson Rewards Americas balance plus Platinum status, but never got around to linking a Choice Privileges account. If you’d linked the two accounts before July 18, 2023, that balance and status would have converted automatically, at 2 Radisson points per 1 Choice point, with Platinum carrying over.
Today, in 2026, logging into an old Radisson Rewards Americas account won’t show that balance or offer any way to move it, since the program stopped processing activity back in mid-2023. The practical move at this point is simply to create or use an existing Choice Privileges account for any future stays, rather than trying to chase down what happened to the old one.
This Only Applies to the Americas
Everything above covers Radisson properties in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean specifically. Radisson Hotel Group still runs a completely separate, unrelated loyalty program called Radisson Rewards for its properties in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific, with its own Club, Premium, and VIP status tiers. That program was never part of the Choice acquisition and has no connection to Choice Privileges. If you’re booking a Radisson Blu in, say, Stockholm or Dubai, none of this integration applies, and you’ll want the global Radisson Rewards program instead.
What to Do If You Still Have Old Radisson Rewards Americas Information
- Stop looking for a Radisson Rewards Americas login. It no longer processes anything; Choice Privileges is the account that matters now.
- If you never linked your accounts before the 2023 cutover, don’t expect old points or status to resurface. There’s no current process to retroactively recover them.
- Check whether you already have a Choice Privileges account from a past Comfort Inn, Cambria, or Quality Inn stay; many former Radisson guests already had one without realizing it would become their primary account.
- If you’re chasing elite status now, Choice’s own status match program and Elite Qualifying Credits are the current mechanisms, not anything tied to the old Radisson structure.
