卡尔森俱乐部住3晚送38000分
在2013年，卡尔森俱乐部几乎度过了没有促销的一年。 不晓得他们生意如何，我曾光临了一家Radisson Blu, 金卡就给我升到了大套房，并赠送酒廊使用权，和早餐。可见常旅客真少啊。这个促销实名为住3晚，送1晚，但实际上是送出的积分（而不是入住券）。积分要比入住券好得多，因为积分是灵活的，可以延期的，而入住券常常是会过期并且有限制酒店等级。每个会员仅限一次奖励。 促销日期： 01/06/2014-04/13/2014 促销活动：住3晚，送1晚 （38000分） 促销连接：点击这里 卡尔森不是一个很吸引我的酒店集团/计划，但是有少许Radisson Blu（俪笙），还是硬软件还是很不错的。并且它最高级的酒店也仅仅需要50000积分，如果你有卡尔森信用卡的话，更是可以以最少25000入住一晚最高级酒店。 （信用卡福利：住2晚，送1晚）。 如果你还不是卡尔森俱乐部的会员，又想参与这个活动，我建议你可以加入他们的会员，再用其他的会员例如：希尔顿，万豪，雅高，凯悦，SPG，洲际等的高级会员向卡尔森申请Status…
