I got the email too. But the link doesn't work... or that it has crashed !

:p

Working for me!

Link is now working for me as well.

Working for me!

me too! Now ... I just have to get to Minneapolis :)

Working for me!

Worked for me also. Does this booking qualify for Club Carlson BRG scheme?

Just noticed that Park Plaza on their own website has a BRG scheme.

Will the AAA rate and Summer Weekend Package rate be the eligible rate?

Registered, received confirming email OK.

With only the one US property in MSP,
this is going to take a bit more work!
But I see C+P rates of 5K + $57+.

Registered also but does anyone have a list of the Park Plazas?

Thank you.

Just signed up, and booked a cheap night locally tomorrow.
Now what do I do with the the 250,000 points I've got thru promos??:D
I don't actually stay there!

Only 1 in the US and it's in Minneapolis. It's not far from MSP so a quick cab ride on a layover should do.

There's only ONE Park Plaza near MSP in the States.

does "art'otel cologne, by park plaza" count? any idea?

Ka-ching....

Great timing. I have to be in MSP in 3 weeks anyway, just got a night for $70+5000 points.

Thanks OP, saw your post before I got the email!^

Looks like Mall of America and a juicy lucy.
Road trip.

For those Thailand bound, there are two properties in Bangkok that are well priced and look pleasant.

Woot, already had a night in a Park Plaza in Beijing booked for August.

Just got the Email this morning, which worked out perfect because I already had a stay tonight at the Park Plaza on Soi 18 in Bangkok.

Another promotion!

Are Club Carlson trying to get me weaned off Accor and addicted to their brand, by any chance?

And when they have me mainlining Raddison Blu and Park Plaza will they suddenly put the prices up? Will I have to turn to crime to feed my habit?

do art'otel hotels, by park plaza count for this promotion?

Just signed up for this promo ^

Off to Phuket tonight & remembered perhaps seeing a Park Plaza there. A search (just selecting Park Plaza brand) shows;

Radisson Plaza Resort Phuket Panwa Beach

Mmmm..."Radisson" Plaza :confused: Will this place be eligible? Great if it is but.......

Just got the email and registered.

Now seriously contemplating leaving BKK airport during 8hr layover and checking in/out of a Park Plaza for another whack of bonus points!

To answer my own question ;) --> art'otel does qualify for the promotion according to Dublin Customer Service agent, I just spoke with on the phone. Also, once you register for promotion and search for the hotel (on dedicated promotion website), it comes up as an option. :D

Great tip. Phuket comes up as an option using the deicated site but other places that definately do not have "Park Plazas" do not appear. :)

Phuket won't count, it's a Radisson not a PP.

A little irritated since I stayed in a PP 2 nights ago.....but I'm off to Bangkok tonighr.

Yep, CC confirmed it doesn't count. Oh well..

does "art'otel cologne, by park plaza" count? any idea?

Yes, art'otel cologne, by park plaza is participating in this giveaway campaign. In fact all art'otels by park plaza are participating.

Registered also but does anyone have a list of the Park Plazas?

Park Plaza hotels can be found in the following countries: Brazil, China, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, India, Israel, the Netherlands, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States. Besides the Park Plaza hotels also the art'otels by park plaza are participating in this campaign. For more information on destinations, please visit www.parkplaza.com or www.artotels.com.

Registered a bunch of accounts, but for my own it looks like MSP, Europe or India for me early next month. The locations work well for me.

Correct i made a phone call to club carlson asking if artotel counts for the promotion and the answer was YES just booked a points/cash night 5k and 45 euros at the artotel budapest,still waiting for my points for a radisson stay in bratislava/slovakia from the 17 of june:rolleyes:

Just down the highway from me. Excellent.

Thanks to the OP for the valuable info!

A night at BFS for me, so. :eek:

Is this different from the previous 44K promo? I thought the previous Park Inn 44K promo covered Park Plazas. I am in a Park Plaza right now and assumed I was getting a bonus.

EDITED TO ADD: Looks like I messed up. The Park INN promo says you have to stay in a Park Inn (duhh). It does not appear that the Park Plazas and Park Inns are interchangeable.

Does the 2 for 1 extended weekend count for this promo?
Thankx

YES. Any rate that earns points counts.

How coincidental! I was just wondering why Park Plaza hotels did not have a promo as did the other brands. So after I checked into a PP hotel in Berlin on Friday, I logged into the internet in my room to make a booking for next week... and low and behold... there it was, the promo I was waiting for. So I signed up, got the email confirmation, and now I'm just waiting for my stay to post. Not bad, considering that I only paid 59 Euros total for two nights at the 2-4-1 rate. ^

I've gone for a £64 advance rate exec room at the Park Plaza Leeds towards the end of August.

That'll give me a total of more than 150,000 points for 3 stays at a total cost of about £200!

Yep have stayed at both of them numerous times, and just had the 50K Park Plaza bonus post from my stay at the Soi 18 location from last Thursday night.

The PP Sukhumvit has a slightly better location, also they are much better on elite upgrades, and welcome gifts, have never not been automaticly upgraded to a corner deluxe room(they only have 2 types of rooms), and always recieve a little welcome gift in my room.
Where as PP Soi 18, almost always have to ask for an upgrade at check in, also they have 4 room types, and the main difference between a Superior and Deluxe room is the Deluxe has the addition of a bathtub, and a inferior view. Also I have never recieved a welcome gift when staying at PP soi 18.

The one good thing about 18 though is they are often a BRG canidate.

Points posted quickly for my stay at Park Plaza.. thanks for the great promotion Club Carlson!

Excellent! They don't have much properties in this part of Europe, but I've found one where we are going anyway for 69€ only - I expect 54k or so CC points ^

PS - topcashback.com says 10% for Radisson and 5% for Park Plaza, but it's unclear how much if you book it on the Radisson site. Topcashback.co.uk is 6% for Park Palza, I went with them.
