I had the same question. Absolutely nothing in the T&Cs that says you have to register before staying. I think other hotel chains allow for retroactive on their promos (Hyatt IIRC). I had two stays before I found out about the promo.

So I don't think you will be awarded for any stays before you register for the promotion.

The T/Cs prescribe three conditions: members must (i) register online for the Promotion at clubcarlson.com/workplay; (ii) provide their Club Carlson number at the time of reservation or before checkout; and (iii) complete at least one Eligible Stay at any Quorvus Collection, Radisson Blu, Radisson, Radisson Red, Park Plaza, Park Inn by Radisson and Country Inns & Suites By CarlsonSM hotels worldwide during the Promotion Period.
So I don't think you will be awarded for any stays before you register for the promotion.

(i) Yes, I'm registered
(ii) My Club Carlson number was on the reservations
(iii) I made a stay during the Promotion Period (Aug 1-Oct 31)

that suggests - to me - that you only earn additional points after registration and not before.

I ended the call by saying that I just wish it was actually stated in the terms and her response was "well it seems clear to me, but I work with these all the time"
Given that at least some of their peers in the industry (like Hyatt) don't require registration before the first stay, it seems like quite a customer unfriendly move

It's actually been quite a good promotion for me . I've gone from 3,000 to 70,000 points after just two weekend stays and I have another two weekend stays and a midweek one before the end of the month.

But please notice that unfortunately there is a limit of 50,000 points for the double/triplepoints.

We had 2x 2 nights stay at Cape Town Waterfront and 1x 2 nights stay at Cape Town Le Vendome. Those were the last "last night free" redemption from 2015.
They all received the bonus but in an unfathomable way.
For the identical 2 nighter at Waterfront, I got 7K+ pts. DH's account got 4K+ pts and his account even had F&B expenses which earned the correct F&B pts.
His 2 nighter at Le Vendome only received 1K+ bonus.
So a total of 6 nights in 2 accounts combined, earn just about 12K pts in total. Or may be the system treats it 3 nights only. But still - less than your 15K for 2 nights.
How do the system calculate this bonus?!
