We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    With Club Carlson elite status, you can get room upgrades, food & drink discounts, and late check-out!

    And via Deals We Like, Club Carlson is offering a status match.  So if you have elite status with another hotel chain (like Marriott or Hilton), you can match your status with Club Carlson!

    This is great news, because you can get automatic elite status at other hotel chains with certain credit cards.  Then match your status to Club Carlson!

    I’ll tell you more about Club Carlson’s status match.  And which hotel cards give you automatic elite status.

    If you have elite status with a hotel chain like Hyatt, Marriott, or Hilton, you can get a status match with Club Carlson.  They’re only matching to their Silver and Gold status.  Not their highest “Concierge” level, which gets you lounge access and free breakfast.  🙁

    To get a match, send an email to statusmatch@carlsonrezidor.com with the subject line “Status Match”.

    In the email, include your:

    Cards That Give You Elite Hotel Status

    One of the easiest ways to get elite status is with a credit card that gives you automatic status.

    Of course, with the Club Carlson Premier Rewards card, you’ll get free Club Carlson Gold elite status.

    But what other cards give you automatic elite status, that you could then match to Club Carlson?
    The Chase Hyatt card gets you free Hyatt Platinum elite status.  And you’ll earn 2 free nights at any Hyatt after meeting minimum spending requirements.  Here’s my review of the card.

    With the Chase IHG Rewards Club Select card, you’ll get free Platinum IHG elite status.  And 70,000 IHG Rewards points after meeting minimum spending requirements.

    The Marriott Rewards® Premier Credit Card gives you automatic Silver elite status.  Along with 80,000 Marriott points after spending the minimum required.  You can read my review of this offer here.

    And with the AMEX Hilton Surpass and Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card , you’ll get free Gold elite status with Hilton. 

    So, you can use any of these credit cards to get automatic hotel elite status.  Then get a status match with Club Carlson!

    Even if you don’t have a stay planned at a Club Carlson hotel, I’d recommend getting a status match.  Because it’s easy!  And you never know when a travel opportunity might come up. 😉
