Club Avolta (formerly RED by Dufry) status match with potential future Radisson status

[andye]

This came up on headforpoints today. Easy match to the Duty Free program with increased discount to 10%, possible future Radisson match and an Avios bonus

Got airline or hotel status? Potentially get Radisson VIP top tier status

If you spend money in airport duty free you could save up to 10% by getting a status match to Platinum status in the Club Avolta loyalty programme.

Does this cover any duty free shops in Australia or is it for UK duty free shops only?

I’ve already got Radisson VIP through end of next year via a different promo but I’m curious to see how this promo pans out.

Regarding Radisson Rewards and VIP status, the free breakfast is the big winner, and some (but not all properties) actively upgrade to suites. The VIP 20% discount rate is also quite attractive and seems to vary per property. Some of the Royal Collection properties throughout Europe seem nice.

Radisson also offer a refer-a-friend incentive program whereby the referer and referee each get 5K points. I don’t believe I’m allowed to offer my personal referral link (Mods pls delete if not appropriate). But if so, if you would like my referral you can DM me. Alternatively there’s a randomised referral link generator on OzB Radisson Hotels Deals & Coupons

So I signed up to Avolta and it tells me to apply for status match but just hangs when I try and add an airline or hotel. Tried on three different browsers

I did not encountered any problem - I did the match for hubby using hilton gold and he is now RR VIP until December 2025. all done in one day. This will come in useful for Madagascar, Mauritius and Norway trips. As @Gold Member said, breakfasts will be a good benefit - and maybe early checkin and late checkout. Am usually not interested in suite upgrade - a bright room with good views and a comfy king bed will be fine.

I might try clearing cookies and rebooting and will have another go. Thanks

That could help. Fingers crossed for you. There were many steps I had to follow based on Rob Burgess' article. Read the comments in that article might help also.
