I got points from my early July stay (2-for-1 + upgrade to 1 bedroom suite) \

Didn't calculate if it's correct though, from ~$200 Euro

Earn Hotel Stay - Park Inn by Radisson Amsterdam Airport Schiphol - 5,130

Has anybody else had issues with CC earning since the rate was discontinued ?
I had a 2-for-1 booking for the Radisson Blu in Belfast that came up as ineligible on my statement. But I mentioned it on the webchat with an agent when I was discussing another matter and got my points and the triple bonus - 11,504 in total.

I have one 2-for-1 booking left in October for Edinburgh so I shall see what happens then.

I am not seeking to renew my Concierge status after this year - mainly because of the loss of these rates.

After complaining this issue was solved, and I was ensured that 4for2 rates are still eligible for CC earning.

Well, it has now been more than half a year since the 2-for-1 and 4-for-2 rates were eliminated - of course without any advance notice whatsoever.

And despite promises to the contrary, this long lasting benefit wasn't replaced with any decent ongoing promotion / benefit whatsoever - just the usual 10%-20% advance purchase discounts etc., i.e. nothing that any of the competing hotel chains don't offer.

I often used to book Carlson (business) hotels in Europe using this rate and given the low occupancy rates on the weekend it often seemed like a win-win. It's too bad that Club Carlson - after several years of improving benefits - has been mostly eliminating benefits during the last ~two years.

But you got a beautiful new logo and name for the program - that should make up for it! No?

The removal of the benefit is exactly the reason why for the first time in over ten years I am not at the top level of the programme and indeed have no Radisson hotels booked over the coming year.
