I’ve been traveling so I haven’t been able to post. While I was away, a big Promo at Club Carlson (the hotel loyalty program for Radisson Hotels, Country Inn and Suites, Park Plaza Hotels and Park Inn Hotels) was unfolding. I really have to bring my iPad with me so I can blog on the run (pun intended).
Additionally, when using points, there is often a “cash plus points” option – that can be a very advantageous choice. For example, for the Marine Corps Marathon this coming October, I made a reservation at the Radisson Hotel Reagan National Airport in Arlington, VA for 10,000 points plus $77. This is an excellent rate – especially given the fact that most of the hotels in the Arlington area raised their rates considerably for the marathon weekend. Plus, I will be flying back home to NYC and the hotel offers a free airport shuttle.
The new promo is very similar to a promo I took advantage of last year, but even better – I highly recommend it. I will be posting about this later today or tomorrow, but, in the meantime, the first step is to join Club Carlson and become an “e-rewards” member, if you are not already a member.
