Radisson Rewards
Radisson Rewards is a hotel program based in Europe. In October 2026 (prices checked October 16–21), one Radisson Rewards point bought a median of 0.24¢ of travel across 8 priced searches on the same 4 hotels checked every month; on the 8 searches priced in both September and October, its value rose 0.1%. One point bought 0.24¢ in September and 0.28¢ in August.

September's drop is mostly a measurement artifact. Round 2 cash rates were captured before tax while award prices included it. The Nairobi 180-day night is the clean test: the same 70,204 points both months, while cash went from $196.58 with tax to $157 without.
Item by item
What one point bought on each hotel, every month. Each item is checked twice: about 60 days before travel and about 180 days before.
All 4 charts share one scale, so their heights compare directly.
Grey dots are individual checks. The white tick is the middle value. TPG and NerdWallet each publish one number per program; this index shows the whole range.
