Link: Club Carlson Global Giveaway
Rapid Travel Chai tweeted the link to a new Club Carlson promotion where you can earn 100 free Club Carlson points a day or 4,200 Club Carlson points if you play each day up to September 24, 2012.
Club Carlson Global Giveaway
Club Carlson is the loyalty program of Carlson Rezidor Hotels which includes hotels like Country Inns and Suites, Park Inn, Radisson, and Radisson Blu.
You can enter the sweepstake to win 5 nights at a Club Carson hotel for two people, business class airfare, and $5,000 in spending money. But, like most contests, your chances of winning are slim.
However, you earn 100 free Club Carlson points for EACH day you view their entire “Vacation Book.”
Club Carlson Vacation Book
The vacation book is a series of pictures of Club Carlson hotels and I could click through them in less than a minute to get my 100 free points!
My 100 Free Points
You can do this every day from August 14, 2012 up to September 24, 2012 so you should be able to get 4,200 points by then.
1 free night at a Category 1 hotel starts at 9,000 points and top tier Category 6 hotels cost 50,000 points a night. You can transfer points fairly easily between Club Carlson accounts, so a couple could almost get a free night at a Category 1 Club Carlson hotel through this promotion.
And these points could be helpful for the US Air Grandslam as well.

I have earned and redeemed millions of airline miles and hotel points to travel the world for free. Now I'm blogging to help more people do the same! 
Speaking of Grand Slam…any word on it yet?
Thanks for sharing! How soon do points post? Do you enter the carlson club number or just the email?
Only for US and Canada residents, blah
Nice! It is raining Club Carlson points again! I got this in my email this morning: http://milesabound.com/club-carlson-new-25000-point-bonus-for-one-stay/
thanks! After this last promo, I need 600 points to get to 100k. I would have hated to be a in a position where I wanted to use them, but was 600 points short of 2x50k nights! This will get me there in less than a week (depending on how long it takes for the points to post).
This is probably a dumb question, but where do you enter your Club Carlson membership number? The only field I see is an email address during registration.
@Aeroman – No official word, but I’m expecting it to resurface.
@Sam Emara @Len – I don’t know when the points will post. You have to use your email address to enter.
@Baseleg – And they call it the “Global” Giveaway…
@Phil – Good find!
@Steve - Hopefully the points should post quickly, though I haven’t got any points from yesterday yet.
this sounds wrong will creating ghost account, to accumulate point work ?
What are some other ways to earn Club Carlson points? Is there a Club Carlson credit card or something?
Thanks again for keeping me busy till September 24 – for a good reason! I didn’t find how to transfer points between Club Carlson accounts. Any restrictions for the same address or only between family members?
@Tatyana,
You should be able to transfer from one Club Carlson account to another (no restriction on address/family member/etc) but you have to call to do it. It’s not possible via the website.
@adnan – I woudln’t recommend that!
@Philip – You can stay in their hotels and they will have a new credit card later this year.
Hey Guys, i’m selecting “returning member”, viewing the book, but when i log into my account i still don’t see the points, am i doing something wrong?
@Vard – The points don’t post instantly and may take weeks to post.
For a data point – tried this the first day of the offer and my 100 points just posted this morning.
I’ve been doing this daily (missed a couple) since Aug 15.
My 100 points from August 15 also just posted today (thanks for noting it Anon, I saw your post then went to check).
Now, just waiting for the next couple thousand points to post!
