3,000 bonus Club Carlson hotel points for your first booking with their app

UPDATE – DECEMBER 2021:  This article is now out of date, but don’t worry.  We produce a monthly summary of the top hotel bonus point offers – please click HERE or use the ‘Hotel Offers’ menu above. 

Radisson Rewards is running a global double points promotion until 19th December 2021. You can read our article here and you can register here.

Club Carlson, the Radisson / Park Inn / Park Plaza group, has a good promotion to encourage you to book with their mobile app.  To be honest, I thought this had gone away but it appears it is still being quietly promoted in a corner of the Carlson website.

You will earn 3,000 bonus Club Carlson points for the first cash stay you book via the Club Carlson app.

It is valid for any paid stay at Quorvus Collection, Radisson Blu, Radisson RED, Radisson, Park Plaza, Park Inn and Country Inns & Suites hotel worldwide worldwide.

I tend to value Club Carlson points at 0.33p each, based on redeeming 70,000 points for a £200 – £250 five-star hotel.  This means that the bonus points are worth £9 which is an excellent return, especially on cheap Park Inn stays.

This offer should also double up with any other Club Carlson promotion, although they do not have a global offer running at the moment.

Full details can be found on the Club Carlson website here.

How to earn Radisson Rewards points and status from UK credit cards (December 2021)

Radisson Rewards does not have a dedicated UK credit card. However, you can earn Radisson Rewards points by converting Membership Rewards points earned from selected UK American Express cards.  These include:

• American Express Preferred Rewards Gold (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 20,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 60,000 Radisson Rewards points. This card is FREE for your first year and also comes with two free airport lounge passes.

• The Platinum Card from American Express (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 30,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 90,000 Radisson Rewards points

• American Express Rewards credit card (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 5,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 15,000 Radisson Rewards points. This card is FREE for life.

Membership Rewards points convert at 1:3 into Radisson Rewards points which is a very attractive rate.  The cards above all earn 1 Membership Rewards point per £1 spent on your card, which converts to 3 Radisson Rewards points.

Even better, holders of The Platinum Card receive free Radisson Rewards Gold status for as long as they hold the card.  It also comes with Hilton Honors Gold, Marriott Bonvoy Gold and MeliaRewards Gold status.  We reviewed American Express Platinum in detail here.
