[markis10]

Radisson are having a flash sale at present, where for short period each day they give bonus points (70% today), so you can get 70000 for USD$280, which translates across to 10500 miles with US Air/BA/AA/CX etc!

Ok decent. Not so much for airline miles when you can get a specific hotel in London, that I was looking at, for 50,000 pts (~£130 under this promo), much better than available rates of around £300.

Yes, better value, problem is their lack of hotel footprint in our region.

I bought the points. It's good value if going to Europe or even for Radisson Blue in Sydney.

Thank you very much for the hint, I just purchased miles for an upcoming redemption in Norway and I needed a top-up of points, excellent value!

Just got a new offer: 60,000 points for $280USD. Only 50% bonus (0.47 US cent per gold point), not very attractive this time. Specially when the exchange rate is only 0.91
