Club Carlson is the global hotel rewards programme from Carlson Rezidor hotels; a global leader in travel and hospitality. It’s now one year since they launched and redefined the landscape of rewards. Members can earn and redeem points quickly for a free night stay at more than 1,000 participating hotels in nearly 80 countries across Radisson Park Plaza, Park Inn by Radisson hotels and Country Inns & Suites by Carlson.
The Club Carlson programme has made earning Gold Points easier than ever with your stays. Club Carlson offers faster free award nights starting at 9,000 Gold Points, with no blackout dates on standard rooms, as well as a rich array of first-class redemption options such as pre-paid cards, PayPal and the opportunity to transfer points to miles with more than 20 airline partners.
Members can earn 20 Gold Points per US dollar spent on eligible charges, including meals and beverages charged to their room. Members can choose from participating Carlson Rezidor Hotels anywhere in the world and redeem points for free night awards, including 42 stunning resorts in the Caribbean, Europe, Middle East Latin America and Asia Pacific.
The ‘Points + Cash’ award offers a unique opportunity to combine cash with points to reach your dream vacation even sooner. Starting only at 5,000 points for a category one hotel, members can even earn points on the cash portion paid and also qualify for stays and nights towards their elite status. Other rewards programmes do not earn points for the cash component.
Club Carlson members receive 1,000 bonus points for every online booking made on clubcarlson.com or any one of the branded websites. And it gets better; Silver and Gold elite members earn 2,000 bonus points and Concierge members earn 3,000 bonus points. Once more, online booking bonuses are not given in other hotel loyalty programmes. When dining in hotel restaurants in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific, members will receive up to a 15 percent discount based on their elite tier status (not applicable in USA & Canada).
Membership tiers
The more you stay, the more rewards members can gain. Club Carlson offers four levels of membership tiers. Red is the entry level and after just 10 qualifying stays in a year or 15 nights members can enjoy the Silver Elite tier and start earning a 25 percent bonus, a room upgrade and early check in and late check out. Become a Gold Elite member after you stay 20 times or 35 nights and you will earn 50 percent bonus points and receive a 15 percent discount when dining in hotel restaurants.
Concierge elite tier provides members with complimentary room upgrades and continental breakfast; a 75 percent point bonus on eligible stays; and access to a special Concierge Service desk for theatre and sports tickets, and reservations at top-rated restaurants worldwide.
Unique offers
Club Carlson offers the fastest earning standard free nights of any hotel loyalty programme when compared to the rate of base points earned per dollar in hotel spend. Club Carlson has also restructured the programme to maximise the speed at which consumers can earn free nights. Club Carlson Elite members receive elite rollover nights as a standard benefit and all nights above the threshold needed for elite tier qualification at the end of the calendar year roll over to the next calendar year.
Club Carlson app
To expand and optimise the reach to the mobile audience, Club Carlson has launched a new iPhone and Android mobile application, which features express booking for all hotels, personalisation options, GPS mapping and the ability to redeem points the app also links to “Explore Destinations”, a best-in-class feature, which stores more than 4.4 million points of interest from local restaurants to great tourist attractions and points of interest.

In case your company already has a negotiated rate at a particular hotel (or multiple hotels), you may continue to utilise your negotiated rate at that hotel and take advantage of the five percent discount when you stay at other Carlson hotels. Companies will earn eight Gold Points per US Dollar spent on eligible hotel nights across all brands worldwide.
The programme also offers an additional two Gold Points per US Dollar spent when booked online at clubcarlson.com or any of the brands’ websites. More importantly, travellers continue to earn Gold Points in their individual Club Carlson account (clubcarlson.com/business).
