I have some good news/bad news updates on my recent issues with Radisson.  A quick reset.  I have stayed at a Radisson in Austin a few times this year.  I travel on business quite a bit, and Radisson has a chance to pick up 50+ nights from me this year.  I am a member of their reward program.  I found out after a couple of stays that the goldpointsplus program does not give points unless you book directly at their website.  This is an awful policy.  I went through customer hyatt hotel service and didn t get much of a response.  You can follow the saga here and here .
I received a very nice voice mail message from Caroline from Radisson.  Caroline told me she had been on vacation, and was sorry I had been told to expect communication from her.  She was professional and genuine, and I appreciate her reaching out.  I sincerely felt that she was sorry for my troubles.
hyatt hotel I received an email message from the customer service department.  Mary Ann apologized, and credited me points for a stay.  A nice message message that is posted here below.  Again, hyatt hotel the sentiment is appreciated, but there are some issues remaining.
I travel on business a lot each year visiting clients and my office.  It s great to get out in the field and interact hyatt hotel with customers.  I love what I do.  The downside hyatt hotel is that life on the road means time that I miss with my family.  That s a pretty big price to pay.  One of the ways that business travelers can ease some of that pain is by taking advantage of loyalty offers.  It s great to be able to use the points I have accumulated hyatt hotel throughout the year with my family. hyatt hotel I know most of us road warriors hyatt hotel feel the same way.
Not only will Bonus points not be awarded, but NO POINTS will be awarded.  I understand the desire to drive me to the Radisson website, but we don t all have that luxury.  I booked travel through Travelocity Business for 3 years, because that was what my company used for travel.  I ve booked Hyatt stay after Hyatt stay, and always receive points for those.
This isn t really about missing points.  I do appreciate that Radisson tried to make it up to me, even if it was a little late.  I like the hotel in Austin.  I want to stay there.  I want Radisson to understand that this policy does not make any sense.  I want Radisson to understand what makes business travelers tick.  I am willing to help.  I would love to talk to the executives at Radisson.  I would love to help all of you voice your opinion.

Leason learned by me? Just like the ability to customise emails according to data that companies have on a customer, barely anyone does it (Amazon a noticeable exception) the benefits of loyalty schemes are overlooked because the tools are there but the implementation is usually sadly lacking when it comes to giving any level of thought or consideration hyatt hotel to the loyal customer . They may let you talk but do they actually listen?
So I will stick to doing thingsthey way I always have, never registering for loyalty schemes and being flexible about who I fly with and where I stay. This trip to Australia it will be with China Air never flown with them before and I am sure it will be an experience, I was reticent but the significant savings mean nicer accomodation at the other end.
I have done the same flight with Air NZ and Japan Airlines. JAL was my favourite but all had positive and negatives. hyatt hotel This time I booked through through Opodo next time maybe Lastminute.com, whoever gives me the best deal at the time.
