So far this spring, promotional offers from the major hotel chains have been underwhelming. This bonus-point offer from Carlson Rezidor is a welcome exception.

Offer Details

Through June 30, Club Carlson members can earn bonus points for eligible stays at Quorvus Collection, Radisson Blu, Radisson RED, Radisson, Park Plaza, Park Inn, and Country Inns & Suites hotels, as follows:

Triple points on all stays
Additional 5,000 bonus points for Sunday/Monday-night stays

A maximum of 100,000 bonus points may be earned during the promotion period.

Registration is required.

Deal or No Deal

Club Carlson members normally earn 20 points per $1 spent. So assuming a hypothetical stay of one $100 night, you’d earn 2,000 points per night. In that scenario, tripling the points would net 6,000 points for the stay. And if that stay were on a Sunday or Monday night, adding the 5,000-point bonus would result in total earnings of 11,000 points for a single night, which amounts to more than five times the normal earnings.

Bottom line: Even without the Sunday/Monday-night kicker, this promotion is the most generous currently on offer from any major hotel group. If they’re not already, Carlson Rezidor hotels should be on your list for stays during the promotion period.
