Points may be earned by only one Radisson Rewards Americas member per Eligible Stay, and that member must appear on the reservation and be the registered guest.
Points may be earned on up to three rooms booked under the same reservation, but credit for multiple rooms must be requested at or before the time of check-in and the member must appear on the reservation for at least one of the booked rooms and be a registered guest for the duration of the Eligible Stay.
