Website going super slow, but after crashing a few times, my browser lost it's frames and went to the direct links for the registration (skipping video and wait)

this seems to be a shortcut link to skip the wait and the video for Radisson - https://www.radissonbignightgivea...d/register
Here's one for Country Inns - https://www.sogocountry.com/index...d/register
Here's Park Inn (but careful to use before live 5/22 - not sure they will accept or not?) - http://www.parkinnoneplusone.com/...d/register

3) There is a high chance you done have/wont be visiting a Park Inn near you so the most you can get from this promo is most certainly 98,500
how do you get the 98,500 points without visiting the hotel.

4) 10% urlhasbeenblocked can be used for all chains (search for Radisson) and then select the other chains via Radisson.com redirect, since lower ~5% Cashback for CountryInns.com directly.
