Are you getting tired of this seemingly endless wave of hotel devaluations?! I know we sure are. What better time to team up with a hotel chain that has chosen not to go down the devalue road and has continued to find ways to offer more to its loyal members rather than less.
Club Carlson Golden Giveaway
Club Carlson is teaming up with Points, Miles and Martinis to give away two $500 USD Club Carlson gift cards! That’s not all. The two winners will also each receive Gold status for one year!
During a time when hotel devaluations have become the norm, Club Carlson is bucking the trend by continuing to offer members strong points promotions, unique credit card benefits, and no recent major devaluation.
Properties we like
Points, Miles and Martinis is no stranger to Club Carlson properties. In the past year, we shared our Top Four Club Carlson Award Redemptions, spent a fantastic weekend in Oslo with a gorgeous room overlooking the iconic Oslo Opera House, an adventurous stay at the world’s northernmost full service hotel, and soon will be staying at a Club Carlson property in Prague.

I’m most excited about using the new Visa for my upcoming Scandinavian honeymoon in April, taking advantage of the bonus award nights at the Radisson Blu Royal Copenhagen and the Radisson Blu Strand Stockholm. This card helped me stretch my points even further and saved me a ton of money for my wife and I’s dream honeymoon.
I would stay two nights at London’s May Fair (50K) and two nights at Madrid Prado (44K). Four nights for a total of 94K using the Bonus Award Reward Benefit combined with the sign 85K up Bonus- 85K sign up +2500(spend) will almost cover the four nights:)
