Update: I started a thread on Milepoint since there is at least some interest in this. This could be a great way to hang out and earn credit for the promo many of us will be doing anyway. Head over to Milepoint to brainstorm details or RSVP! I’ve gotten a few comments, emails, and tweets related to doing a Park Inn by Radisson meet-up. Since there are only ten in… Read the Rest.

Oh what a difference a letter can make. The Country Inn and Suites and Radisson promos launched a week ago today at 12:01AM CDT, but (just to throw me off, I’m certain) the Park Inn promo today launches at 12:01AM CET. That is seven hours earlier than midnight CDT. Not that there is a need for a mad dash to register, but you can do it much earlier in the… Read the Rest.

I got an email from a reader yesterday that his 44,000 bonus points from the Country Inn and Suites “Stay One, Get One” promo have already posted from his 5/15 stay (thanks for the email, Brad!). While the terms say 6-8 weeks, the bonus points posted within a few days for many last go round as well, so this isn’t overly surprising. It is good news though since now you… Read the Rest.

Woohoo! I posted yesterday that while I really like (ok, love) the Club Carlson Big Night Giveaway, I was very disappointed that they had posted on their Facebook page that existing reservations would count before the promo launched, only to then delete that post and say that only reservations made after the promotion started on May 15th would count. This means that some folks now had non-refundable reservations that wouldn’t… Read the Rest.

As you likely already know, Club Carlson just launched a terrific promotion where if you stay one night at a Radisson, Country Inn & Suites, or Park Inn you can earn 44,000 – 50,000 bonus points. I am a huge fan of this promo, and even hosted an #antislumberparty Twitter party for those who wanted to stay up until midnight to register right when the promo started. However, I am… Read the Rest.

I know some people probably had their blood pressure momentarily increase when they saw that Club Carlson was changing hotel categories after just hyping everyone up about the “Big Night Giveaway”. At least I know mine did. However, it really isn’t that bad overall. Sure, some hotels are going up in category, and that stinks if one of the hotels you frequent falls in that category, but there are plenty… Read the Rest.

It’s late, I’m tired, I’m registered, Twitter was fun, and the Country Inn & Suites and Radisson promos are live! Here are some terms from the official promo websites. Pretty much what we expected – except it says that previous reservations don’t count. This is contrary to what they said “officially” on Facebook. I held off making reservations, but that really stinks for anyone who did. Boo them for saying… Read the Rest.

The Twitter cops just busted up our #antislumberparty as we passed the time until 12:01 Central and the Club Carlson promos launch.. I thought we kept the music quiet enough?! Must have been those pesky neighbors. Seriously, I just reached my “daily Tweet limit” – who knew there was such a thing? Not me! No warning, no nothing, just radio silence. However, no worries. @DealsWeLike is pinch hitting for the… Read the Rest.

As I write this we are about six hours away from the “go live” time for two of the three Club Carlson “Big Night” promos. The three promos provide at least 138,000 Club Carlson points if you do all three. That is a ton of points! The Radisson and Country Inn & Suites promos launch tonight at 12:01AM CDT. Yes, the whole world should be on “Texas Time”. The… Read the Rest.

As the launch date for the Club Carlson “Big Night Giveaway” promo creeps forward, we have learned more details about how the promo will work and some ways to maximize the promo even more. I have several posts on this promo already, but now that we know more, I’m going to put it all into one (hopefully) easy to read location in the form of a FAQ. What is the… Read the Rest.
