Just wanted to advise those who might consult this thread that some of the statements are out of date as a result of CC's revisions to its program in the Spring of 2014.
For example, one can now earn points on an award stay for food and beverages charged to your room.

In addition, Gold and Concierge Members are to receive a 15% discount at most hotel restaurants so this could prove to be a good benefit now that one can earn points on food and beverages.
There is a list of hotels that do not participate in the 15% discount program so do consult the list of those that do not participate.
For example, one can now earn points on an award stay for food and beverages charged to your room.
Ways to Earn Points:
•Club Carlson Members can now earn Gold Points on food and beverages purchased during Award Nights, if charged to the room
•Club Carlson Members can now earn Gold Points on food and beverages purchased during Award Nights, if charged to the room

I received my new Visa card a few weeks ago and have been using it. My account still shows as Red. How long until my Gold status hits and my ability to book an award and get the last night free?

EDIT: ignore this, the answer was two posts above mine !!!

Have anyone tried the breakfast option, while staying at the hotel, paying by gold points (without any cash) ?
When I was staying at a different country hotel, I asked about the price for this condition (by email) they told me the price (I stated that I will stay with gold points) , but on the reception when I informed them about having the breakfast, they said that "it's all right sir" and didn't charged me extra for it.
Now, I will stay for 5 nights with gold points (in a different country) and I really wonder if I should just talk about this matter on reception (don't know how to ask it actually), or just enjoy the breakfast and state it while checking it out and see if they will charge me for it or not. I think asking the price on this case over email would prevent a surprise in case they ask me to pay for it.
What would be the best option?
and second question,
if I stay at the hotel by paying with gold points, will it increase my Year - to date Elite progress night numbers of stay?

Is it easier to get the lower Club Carlson card ? 60k with only $1,500 minimum purchase and $50 annual fee.

Yes, it is, in fact if you apply for the higher offer and don't qualify, they will give you the lesser offer if you qualify for that. In other words, if you have already applied for the higher offer and got a straight decline, not an approval for the lesser offer, there is no point in applying for the lesser offer, you have already been declined for that one as well.
