Club Carlson has a Spring Getaway promotion for Country Inn & Suites hotel stays that started February 13 and runs through May 31, 2017 for 7,000 bonus points on 2-night stays. Spring Getaway rate is 15% off Best Flexible rate.
Promotion registration is required. This bonus can be earned on multiple stays.
Spring Getaway Deal is Flexible Rate at Advance Purchase price
Country Inn & Suites Fresno North
March 28-30, 2017Â $72/night Spring Getaway Offer
The Spring Getaway rate is the same $72 as a prepaid, nonrefundable advance purchase rate. Spring Getaway $72 rate for 7,000 bonus points may be canceled without penalty by 6pm day of arrival March 28.
Two features of Country Inn & Suites brand I like as a consumer.
Reading library: Country Inn hotels feature a lending library where you can pick up a book and drop it off at another property. Or exchange a book you have for one at the hotel.
Real diningware: I find the use of plastic cutlery to be a real waste of resources at midscale hotel breakfast buffet service. Styrofoam cups are a bad sight too for landfill waste.
Country Inn advertises it uses real diningware. Been too long for me, 2014 if I recall correctly, since I last stayed at Country Inn to remember their breakfast service cutlery and cups.
Anyway, 7,000 bonus points can be a $30 to $40 value for many hotel rewards in the category 1 to 3 level.
Club Carlson Hotel Rewards
Country Inn Ventura, California, in the shade of U.S. Highway 101, is one hotel I have used for road trips between Monterey, California and Los Angeles/SoCal destinations.
April 2-4 $96 per night. Total rate = $215.25 after tax.
This seems like a decent promotion, if you are somewhere needing a 2-night stay and Country Inn is competitively priced.
The main issue is most Country Inn & Suites are in the USA. Hotels in the USA are experiencing record-breaking high rates in 2017. India, Mexico and Central America may offer some better Country Inn rate deals.
I recently completed Club Carlson’s Earn Bigger Rewards promotion for 50,000 bonus points after 8 nights at any Club Carlson brand. My 8 nights in Amsterdam, Prague and Wroclaw cost $470 staying at Radisson Blu (2 nights), Park Plaza (4 nights) and Park Inn hotels (2 nights), where I received room upgrades at each hotel. Europe has some serious hotel bargains right now, although the elimination of Club Carlson 2-for-1 rates is a real blow to the program for stays in Europe, Africa and Middle East.
Loyalty Traveler – Club Carlson 70,000 points earned, $470 hotel spent on 8 nights (March 6, 2017).
Loyalty Traveler – Club Carlson 2-for-1 and 4-for-2 Gold elite booking links gone (Jan 30, 2017).
