Club Carlson offers triple points (60 points/$1), plus 5,000 bonus points for each Sunday or Monday night stay through June 30, 2017. Plus, a one time 3,000 bonus points is earned with your first Club Carlson mobile app booking.
This seems to me the best hotel stay rebate around for the next couple months.

Earning Club Carlson bonus points on cheap Europe hotels
There are several Radisson Blu hotels in Europe where I see $80 to $100 per night room rates on Sunday and Monday. A 2 night stay spending $160 to $200 will earn 20,000 to 25,000 or more points for a Club Carlson Gold elite member.
