20K bonus points for 7 nights!
For >= Silver members who register here. May be targeted. Stay 11 Jan.--31 March 2016.
IMHO this bonus is too small to induce me to stay: Not even half a free night at a hotel in a juicy destination! It's OK if one is traveling anyway.

Better Club Carlson Offer for Basic Level
I too received the Silver "exclusive" offer - however, a friend who has no status forwarded their offer to me - which is actually a better deal.....this is what drives me crazy with awards programs - is it to award loyalty, or squeeze folks for all they are worth....?
2 Stays = 10,000
3 Stays = 20,000
2 Stays = 10,000
3 Stays = 20,000

Very disappointing from Carlson. This time last year they were offering triple points from Jan - March.
Giving my business to Hotels.com instead for the rest of the month while I reassess my loyalty.

A slightly different offer for me!

I am already Silver though... (although to drop down to red in March)

This is incredibly poor in my opinion. Last year was 15k bonus points for EACH stay of 2 nights and 35k bonus for 3 nights or more. I racked up close to 400k points during that promo. A max offer of 20k is just a joke.

I tweeted CC about this and said in a 4 for 2 booking the two paid nights would count.

10/20k bonus is only for red members.
T&C clearly states it.
You must be a Club Carlson Red level member to participate in the "Explore More and Earn Up to 20,000 Points" promotion ("Promotion").
Offer not valid for Club Carlson Elite members.

My experience is that 2-1 usually, but not always, posts as two nights. I would expect this to be the same for 4-2, and that it depends on the hotel.

Pays to read the fine print, as most programs and promotions count all "points-eligible stays (/nights)". One more instance of Club Carlson loving to do the rogue thing.
