I take it the 'club carlson points' can be transferred to AA miles then?

Yes as per my earlier example.

 

[Deleted member 29185]

just registered and received my confirmation email...we have two stays at the Raddison Blue Toulouse during June and July.

If those stays were pre-existing, they won't qualify......only if they are new bookings after 15 May (and possibly after registration for the promo).

So, as a new Club Carlson member, I enthusiastically went looking for new AU hotels to try.

..........Am I missing something or have Radisson retreated to a meagre 4 Australian accomodation houses in just three Australian cities(Radisson Sydney, Radisson Blu Sydney, Flagstaff Gardens Melbourne and Palm Meadows Gold Coast)???

If so, Wow......and I thought Hilton was slim pickings!

Thats it, they used to have more (Mantra Queen St is ex Radisson, Cairns on the Quay as well), but like many chains they have cut back in Australia, which is why the miles conversion is attractive.

It's a shame no stays don't count this time, the $56 one some were getting last year would have been a good option!

I was one of those who stayed at Dallas East last year.. from the comfort of my couch. Still have the points and this next stay will build on that

Just read an email confirming my status match had come through overnight, pity I am lying in my Radisson bed reading it so no upgrade, at least the bonus points will be handy!

Showoff :mrgreen:.

I may try it with HH and see if I can get it for the Big night givaway stay, but in reality with so few Aussie hotels, I doubt I'd ever even requal silver. How long did it take?

Took the plunge and booked a room in Bangkok in two weeks time, Radisson Suites though so hopefully its an eligible property for this promotion. 2400BHT or ~77AUD. First time in 5 years that I have stayed at a non-SPG property in Bangkok too. Hopefully the points arrive quick smart (I know it says 6-8 weeks post stay) but fingers crossed, so that I can use the 50K and book a night at the Radisson in NYC in late July

Took three days, and in the AFF tradition of pancake machine spotting I can confirm they have one on the Gold Coast.

Forgot to mention this bit: The Gold Status expires Feb28 2014.

It's worth noting that 66000 points can be redeemed for a $100 USD PayPal deposit.

Think I'd rather the night in the Radisson in Paris!

 

[markis10]

Its just a datapoint of what the points are worth in cash, obviously accommodation choices can enhance that, the points for a stay take forever to credit though!

Or looked at it from a different angle, a two night stay at Palm Meadows would cost net about $50/night. Not bad (although I can't say I've ever stayed there......it is getting fairly long in the tooth now).

Had to chase them up for the points but happy with my $103 stay, and the status match helped with points as well!

Nice work, got a stay at Radisson Flagstaff on Sunday, then if all points post as they should I'll be booking 1 night in Paris and 1 night in London for next month. Pretty good value I reckon.
