The absolute best hotel promotion that ended in December is making a surprise comeback. \u00a0Somehow they are going to be doing this again and I can’t wait to get my paws on this deal.<\/p>\n

All of the details are still unconfirmed, last time you could scoop up an EASY 50,000 Club Carlson points for a single night’s stay in any Radisson or Radisson Blu hotel. \u00a0Our quick weekend trip to Salt Lake City was a great success as we stayed two nights in the Salt Lake City Airport Radisson<\/a> on North Temple.<\/p>\n

This promotion doesn’t even require a credit check of any kind. \u00a0All of our Wanderlusters out there should sign up for this promotion and then make it happen that they get their 50,000 to cheapen their next vacation.<\/p>\n

How To Score<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Sign up for a new account with Club Carlson<\/a>. \u00a0More than likely you haven’t heard of this loyalty program, but it includes Radisson, Radisson Blu, Park Plaza, Park Inn, and Country Inns and Suites. \u00a0They have locations all across the US and many hotels in other countries as well.<\/p>\n

2. Register using the RadissonBigNightGiveaway<\/a> link after 12:01 CDT on May 15th.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Stay a night in a Radisson or Radisson Blu hotel between May 16th and July 15th. \u00a0You must pay for this hotel, but hopefully your Radisson is a reasonably priced room so you can make the most of this offer. \u00a0Depending on where you would like to stay this thing can be worth three free nights in a category 2 hotel<\/a> or four free nights in a category 1 hotel<\/a>. \u00a0Even if you end up getting two free nights out of this deal it is still worth it. \u00a0You essentially pay for one night and get two free. \u00a0That is a bargain!<\/p>\n

Also remember that you can register for yourself, and register for a spouse. \u00a0Last time this offer came around we both booked a room night after night. \u00a0In the morning I checked out and my wife checked into the very same room. \u00a0We were both able to pay for one night and get 100,000 Club Carlson Gold Points.<\/p>\n

How it Worked for Me<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Park Inn Zurich Airport<\/p><\/div>\n

As you well know we took an unforgettable trip to Europe<\/a> at the end of April. \u00a0I’m still sad that I didn’t get more time to soak in the experience, but you have to come down from a high at some point, right? \u00a0When we were looking for a hotel in Zurich we found that they all ran about $200 per night. \u00a0Ouch!<\/p>\n

Because I had a few Club Carlson Gold Points stashed away from my previous Big Night Giveaway we found a Park Inn by Radisson right by the airport that would use 38,00 of my Gold Points. \u00a0Obviously it was a bummer to use up so many points in on stay, but it did save me $200.<\/p>\n

Not only did it save me $200, but I still have about 15,000 points left so I can get one more hotel that is a Category 2 hotel for free on points as well. \u00a0So I turned $68 from the Salt Lake Radisson into another $300 probably. \u00a0Talk about pulling a bunny out of a hat!<\/p>\n

I’m really looking forward to this promotion from Club Carlson. \u00a0Like I previously mentioned it is one of the most lucrative non credit-card wanderlusting activities that you can do. \u00a0Having a fun weekend getaway at the hotel can be fun anyway. \u00a0Swimming in the pool and sitting in the hot tub are always favorites of the kids. \u00a0Although most Radisson’s don’t include breakfast, you can usually find an Egg McMuffin close by.<\/p>\n

So, are you going to score an easy 50,000 Club Carlson Gold Points this time around?<\/p>\n
