Radisson Blu Warwick- What Happens To Stays Booked w/ Club Carlson Points?

Hotel Reviews,

Radisson Blu Warwick

In early March I reported that the Radisson Blu Warwick in Philadelphia, PA would be leaving Club Carlson.

Philly is probably my favorite destination to visit if we want to drive somewhere for the weekend. The city has a lot to offer in terms of excellent museums, great food options and is also a fun place to visit with kids.

When it was announced that the Club Carlson 2nd night free benefit was ending last year, I made sure to book a couple of stays at the Radisson Blu Warwick. (One of which we’ve already completed.) Continue reading Radisson Blu Warwick- What Happens To Stays Booked w/ Club Carlson Points? →

Kim, Lucas and I have enjoyed staying at Radisson Blu properties around the world. When it comes to finding locations in the US, its slim pickings.

With only four Radisson Blu’s in the United States, those picking are about to get 25% slimmer.

I just found out that Radisson Blu Warwick Philadelphia will be leaving the Club Carlson family of hotels and it’s happening very soon. Continue reading Radisson Blu Warwick Philadelphia LEAVING Club Carlson →

Earn 5,000 Club Carlson Points

Deals,

Club Carlson PointsSince the second night free benefit went away, I haven’t booked any nights or tried overly hard to earn Club Carlson points.

I used quite a few of our Club Carlson points during our trip to the Mid-East Gulf States. I still have a few more stays booked using the second night free benefit and still a healthy chunk of Gold Points although they won’t really go very far anymore.

Here is a promo that started yesterday where you can earn 5,000 bonus Gold Points. Continue reading Earn 5,000 Club Carlson Points →

Club Carlson Credit Card Calls About Retention Offer

Credit Cards,

A week back I wrote about possibly getting a Club Carlson credit card retention offer.

I had called about the card’s annual fee which the rep wasn’t able to waive. However, she told me that a request could be made to see if there were any offers available. I decided to pay the fee and see what offers might possibly come up.

However, I wasn’t confident that I’d actually hear back from a manager.

Last night after getting home from Travel Massive, I was surprised to have a message from a Club Carlson credit card rep. I was so surprised that it took a minute to remember why they’d possibly be calling me! Continue reading Club Carlson Credit Card Calls About Retention Offer →

Club Carlson Credit Card Retention Offer? Possibly

Credit Cards,

The Club Carlson credit card’s second night free benefit was one of the most generous perks out there we received for having a credit card. When the offer was coming to a close, it sure was a sad day.

When news came of Club Carlson’s second night free benefit ending, I redeemed 304,000+ points for future trips. Since then, many of us have received a small amount of points and a free night certificate to make up for the loss.

When the $75 annual fee came up for my Club Carlson personal card, I had an important decision to make- keep it or close it. Continue reading Club Carlson Credit Card Retention Offer? Possibly →

Hotel Review: Radisson Blu Doha

During our trip to the Mid- East Gulf States many of our hotel stays were booked using Club Carlson Gold Points prior to the loss of the 2nd night free benefit.

Since we had a few flights leaving late at night, this allowed us to book a 2nd night rather than leaving our things in a luggage room. After a day out and about traveling, we could go to the room, shower and relax before heading off to the airport. This was definitely a nice luxury!

While spending 24 Hours in Doha, we stayed at the Radisson Blu. Continue reading Hotel Review: Radisson Blu Doha →

Bonus Points

With the Club Carlson credit card’s 2nd night free benefit ending recently, many of you may have lost interest in the program and their hotels.

However, Gold Points can be easy to earn with lots of different bonus offers and lower-level free nights can be relatively easy to earn. (They just won’t be as good of a value as they used to be…)

Radisson is currently offering a special summer offer at select hotel in the U.S., Canada and Latin America. Continue reading 5,000 Bonus Points Per Night at Select Radissons →

An Odd Club Carlson Credit Card Bonus Offer

Club Carlson Credit Card

With the Club Carlson credit card second night free benefit ending at the beginning of last month, Gold Points have lost a significant amount of value.

Besides losing this great benefit, to top it off, the amount of points needed to redeem for a free night have also gone up at many properties.

Kim recently got an offer for her Club Carlson credit card which seemed a bit odd. Continue reading An Odd Club Carlson Credit Card Bonus Offer →

Club Carlson 2nd Night Free Benefit Ending, 304000 Points Redeemed So Far

Credit Cards, Deals, Hotels,

Club Carlson Credit CardOver the past few years Club Carlson has been one of the most generous hotel rewards program.

For those of us with the Club Carlson credit card, booking award nights canĀ bring usĀ double the value. When booking a stay of two or more nights, the second night is free although that’s about to change in just a few days.

The stay two, get one free benefit is one of the most awesome hotel program benefits but it will be going away at the end of this month.
