Leave a comment

By Lakshmi:

I have been a little lax in reporting the latest deals.  While there are plenty of points and miles bonanzas happening all the way around, here are a few that have caught our attention.

Club Carlson:

Club Carlson is offering triple points on hotel stays, food and beverages charged to your room between January 8 and March 15, 2013 at any of their more than 1,000 Carlson Rezidor hotels worldwide.  To earn these bonus points, you need to register your Club Carlson account at

https://www.clubcarlson.com/secure/offers/5962135?hotelBrandCode=

The second offer that is very enticing is a $75 annual fee Club Carlson Premier Rewards Visa Signature Card.  Here are the key highlights which make the card well worth the annual fee.

  • Receive 50,000 Gold Points after your first purchase.  Plus 35,000 points once you spend $2,500 on your card within the first 90 days.  50,000 points is enough to snag a free room at many of the best Radisson Blues around the world which go at $300 plus a night.
  • Earn 10 points per $1 spent in eligible net purchases at participating Carlson Rezidor hotels worldwide.
  • 5 points per $1 spent in eligible net purchases everywhere else.
  • Bonus Award Night - When you redeem Gold Points for 2 or more consecutive Award Nights, your last night is free when you are a cardmember! We love this one.
  • You get Club Carlson Gold Status after you activate and use your card.
