The popcorn is ready, the champagne is popped, and we are also waiting for the stroke of midnight (CDT) to get in on the 138,000 points from Club Carlson. But the saying goes, what is good for you is good for the family. So Mrs Weekly Flyer has also set up her own Club Carlson account.

Unlike last year’s promotion where we slept in and still registered for the promotion, this year may go a bit quicker with all of the publicity. We are thinking there is a chance, even if a small one, that the first 100,000 registrants available for the promotion will go quick. So we’re going to quickly log in to the promotion sites below and register. Some of the hotels may not be in a city near you, so consider hotel location when registering for the promotions.

44k Points With SOGO Country Inn & Suites

• Register to earn 44,000 bonus points after an eligible at a Country In & Suites
• Limited to the first 35,000 registrants

44k Points With Park Inn One Plus One

• Register to earn 44,000 bonus points after an eligible at a Park Inn
• Limited to the first 20,000 registrants

50k Points With The Original Radision Big Night Give Away

• Register to earn 50,000 bonus points after an eligible stay at a Radisson or Radisson Blue hotel

If you were to register for all three promotions and meet the qualifications, you’d come away with 138,000 Club Carlson points.

If you can’t… continue reading

Three years ago I redeemed a massive chunk of AMEX points for a Brooks Brothers gift card so I could purchase a few Non-Iron button downs for work.  Yes, 1CPM!

Delta won the best redemption promotion at the Freddie Awards but they are still one of the most difficult programs to find international business class low level awards. The program weakness is exacerbated when looking for business awards to Asia. But I will give them a nod for having good partners and plenty of ways… continue reading

This is a simple reminder to collect cash/points back for every Starwood booking.  As entrenched as I am on a daily basis in earning points, I must admit I sometimes forget to collect these easy points when booking hotel stays.  As I recommend, EVERY online purchase should begin with www.evreward.com.  This website does a pretty… continue reading
