Club Carlson is offering up to 50,000 bonus Gold Points on eligible stays completed through July 31, 2016.
Club Carlson is the loyalty program of these brands.
You earn bonus points for two, five, ten, and fifteen eligible nights:
Eligible nights are basically paid nights. “Stays or nights paid for by redeeming Gold Points or by using Points + Cash are not eligible for this Promotion.”
You must register here for the promotion.
If you stay 15 nights, you’ll get 50,000 total bonus points or 3,333 per night. I value Club Carlson points at 0.4 cents each, so you’re looking at $10 to $13 worth of bonus points per night if you stay exactly 2, 5, 10, or 15 nights.
Free points are always welcome, but this promotion is not lucrative enough to mattress run or change my behavior at all. By contrast, the current IHG promotion will probably cause me to book a one night stay at an IHG property that I would otherwise be on the fence about.
Bottom Line
Club Carlson’s promotion allows you to earn up to 50,000 bonus points for stays through July 31, 2016.
Just getting started in the world of points and miles? The Chase Sapphire Preferred is the best card for you to start with.
With a bonus of 60,000 points after $4,000 spend in the first 3 months, 5x points on travel booked through the Chase Travel Portal and 3x points on restaurants, streaming services, and online groceries (excluding Target, Walmart, and wholesale clubs), this card truly cannot be beat for getting started!
