Here are hotel loyalty programs that commonly let you redeem points or certificates for free nights in Norway — with a short note on how each works and what’s important to know.

1. Strawberry (formerly Nordic Choice / Nordic Choice Club)

• Large Nordic chain (Clarion, Comfort, Quality, etc.). You earn Spenn/points for stays and can redeem them for award nights at hotels across Norway. Strawberry replaced Nordic Choice and retained points/award-night redemptions. (lillaroberts.com)

2. Scandic Friends (Scandic Hotels)

• Scandic’s program lets members earn points and redeem bonus nights at Scandic properties across Norway. Recent tie-ins (status / point transfer) with SAS also give extra ways to get value. Good coverage in Norwegian cities. (e24.no)

3. Radisson Rewards

• Radisson (Radisson Blu, Radisson RED, Park Inn) operates in Norway; Radisson Rewards lets you redeem points for free nights at participating properties. Check availability for popular dates. (Search Radisson Rewards pages for current point rates for specific Norwegian hotels.) (bestwestern.com)

4. Marriott Bonvoy

• Marriott’s brands (e.g., Moxy, Sheraton, W, etc.) are in Norway. Redeem Marriott Bonvoy points for award nights or use free-night certificates issued by some co‑branded credit cards (subject to point caps/terms). Marriott uses dynamic award pricing so required points vary by date/location; the fifth-night-free award rule applies on multi-night award stays. (emea.marriott.com)

5. Hilton Honors

• Hilton properties in Norway (and nearby) participate. Hilton free-night rewards/certificates (often earned via Hilton co‑branded cards or promotions) can be redeemed for one standard room night at participating hotels (terms and exclusions apply). Certificates typically expire 12 months after issuance. (hilton.com)

6. IHG One Rewards

• IHG brands (Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, InterContinental where present) let you use points for Reward Nights in Norway. IHG has no fixed award chart (points required vary by hotel/date) and periodically offers card-based free-night certificates. (ihg.com)

7. Best Western Rewards

• Best Western has hotels in Norway; members can redeem points for bonus nights (point cost varies by hotel/date, typically 5,000–70,000). Best Western points and bonus-night redemptions are available via Best Western’s local sites. (bestwestern.no)

Quick practical notes and tips

• Inventory & seasonality: Norway is seasonal (summer, holiday periods). Award availability can be tight at popular locations/times — book early and be flexible with dates. (Programs limit award inventory). (bestwestern.no)
• Credit‑card free-night certificates: Some US co‑branded cards (Marriott, Hilton, IHG, etc.) give annual free‑night certificates — these are often the easiest way to secure a free night but watch certificate caps, hotel exclusions and expiration rules. (marriott.com)
• Dynamic pricing & no fixed charts: Marriott and IHG use dynamic award pricing (points needed change by date/hotel). Always check the program’s booking tool for the exact points/certificate eligibility for the Norwegian hotel you want. (nerdwallet.com)
• Local Nordic programs can be best value: Strawberry (ex‑Nordic Choice), Scandic Friends and Best Western (local portal) often give very good availability and value for stays within Norway and the Nordics. (lillaroberts.com)

If you want, I can:

• Check award-night availability or approximate point costs at specific Norwegian hotels (tell me city/hotel and dates), or
• Recommend which program/credit card is most likely to give you a free night for a trip to Norway based on where you plan to stay.
