2,500 Bonus Club Carlson Points For Making 4 Small Purchases

club carlson points

Club Carlson points lost a lot of value (around half?) when the generous 2nd night free benefit went away a couple of years back. Regardless, I still kept my credit cards open since I feel that the 40,000 renewal bonus points given are worth more that the annual fee.

I just received an interesting bonus offer where I can earn 2,500 bonus Club Carlson points for making four online purchases. Continue reading 2,500 Bonus Club Carlson Points For Making 4 Small Purchases

Over the summer, the Michael W Travels family went on a 5 week trip to the Pacific.

During our trip we spent time in Tonga, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Samoa, American Samoa and Vanuatu. (I went on a quick adventure on my own to Christmas Island, Kiribati.)

I shared many photos from our trip on Instagram while we were away and continue to do so even though we’ve been back for around a month. Continue reading 10,000 Club Carlson Points For This Instagram Photo!

Club Carlson used to offer huge bonuses which were easy to earn.

In the past there were offers to earn 50,000 Club Carlson points for completing a one night stay. These promos helped many of us earn lots of points relatively fast which went a long way when you added in the second night free benefit from the credit card. Sadly that benefit disappeared almost two years back.

Now there is a new offer where you can earn up to 100,000 Club Carlson points. Continue reading Earn Up To 100,000 Bonus Club Carlson Points

Country Inn & Suites Sending Out Thank You Gifts (Targeted)

Over the weekend I received an envelope from Country Inn and Suites which had a nice color pamphlet sharing “a lot of exciting initiatives  under way“.

The cover of the pamphlet said “Special Thanks To Our Loyal Guests“.

Being that it was Thanksgiving weekend, I figured that it was some info about the brand and not much else. However, upon skimming through the pamphlet, I came across an interesting bit of info on the last page. Continue reading Country Inn & Suites Sending Out Thank You Gifts (Targeted)

When the Club Carlson second night free benefit for credit card holders went away, many of us complained and received a Club Carlson Free Night e-Certificate.

I received two free nights- one for each of my Club Carlson credit cards and Kim got one.

I used one free night during my trip to Poland and the other during a trip to Indianapolis over the summer. Continue reading Finally Used Our Last Club Carlson Free Night= $285 Value?

NOT Getting Max Value from Hotel Free Night, Not Always A Bad Thing

free nightLucas and I recently returned from our third trip in 3 weeks. This time, we visited Indianapolis, Indiana.

Like with some of our other trips, the question came up- why are you going to Indianapolis? My quick response as usual is something like- why not? I haven’t been there before…

While planning the trip I wanted to keep the costs as low as possible. I also had a Club Carlson Free Night certificate expiring at the end of August.  Continue reading NOT Getting Max Value from Hotel Free Night, Not Always A Bad Thing

Earn Double or Triple Club Carlson Points

Club Carlson Points

For a limited time you can earn Double or Triple Club Carlson points in the Work Hard, Play Hard promotion.

Club Carlson points have lost a significant amount of value in the past year and a half. However, I still feel that there is value to be had by staying at Club Carlson properties. I’ve found solid rooms to still be bookable for a reasonable amount of points. The only problem is that for us credit card holders, the second night free benefit was a major loss when it went away… Continue reading Earn Double or Triple Club Carlson Points
