These Club Carlson promotions have been some of the most fun promotions that have popped up in a long time. As of today, all stays are complete and all bonus points have posted. All the points have been consolidated into one account. All in all, with the help of my father's account and also my wife's, we earned 264,311 points from this promotion. Club Carlson is really making a big splash as an up and coming hotel chain (at least in the frequent traveler community).
As you can see in the picture, there are over 300,000 points in my account now. The one thing that should be brought to the forefront, as always, is that hoarding points is NOT good. Points are only valuable if you use them so I plan to use these points within the next year. Club Carlson has plenty of high end properties in Europe so maybe a jaunt to Paris or London is in the near future. And Im sure well have plenty of points left over to send a niece and nephew to the Radisson near Disneyworld for only 9,000 points per night what a bargain! Either way, the point should be made that you should USE YOUR POINTS!
TIPS FOR THE PROMOTION
- In my experience, you dont need to check out in person. I did for some stays and didnt for others and all bonus points posted fine.
- Prior to booking, search your favorite cashback site in order to knock a few bucks off the room rate Big Crumbs, eBates, TopCashback.
- How to transfer Club Carlson points
- Call 1-888-288-8889
- Press 4 to speak to a representative
- The agent will ask for your Club Carlson membership number and a few details to verify your identity (home address & e-mail)
- Request a points transfer and supply the recipients membership number if you need my number, let me know
Note: You can transfer any amount of points; there is no minimum nor an increment you have to follow.
While I hope Club Carlson has more promotions like this in the future, a part of me thinks there could be a devaluation of points happening in the near future. With so many points being minted out of no where, this is a real possibility and it illustrates the exact reason you shouldnt hoard your points. Use them as soon as you have an opportunity because who knows if Club Carlson may create a new top tier of hotel that will cost more than 50k points a night. "The important to budget travel is to plan ahead. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the reality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our minds. Organizing and expending our travel budget properly is a consideration for most families. Lowering consuming and charges, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievement and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding protecting money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal budget is extremely small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, regardless of whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel bill!..". If that happens, points could become a lot less valuable in a click of a mouse. Just some food for thought.
