How Can I Get A Few Points?

Please excuse the beginner question. I haven't been on top of things as I should and don't know what the latest is with regard to collecting a few Club Carlson points. Any easy suggestions. Thanks much.

You have a rather broad question. My simplest suggestion seeing that you posted in Carlson hotel program is to book a room and stay in one of their hotels and credit it to your account. You can also purchase points as well.

Thanks for the reply. You are correct, to broad. I meant Club Carlson points.

How many is "a few?" Are you short of getting a free room night by a few hundred or a few thousand?

Thank you. A few points to keep the account active.

If am assuming you mean you already have an account with some number of points and want to ensure that they don't expire.

Easiest options are:
1. earn some points using one of the partners. https://www.radisson.com/section/gpp.partner/gpp.sidemenus
2. Buy some points for say 10$
3. There is also a terrible last option of starting a Club Carlson Visa card which I don't recommend now.

some programs allow you to donate some points to a charity to keep your accounts active. I am not sure if CC allows that, I will wait for someone to comment on it.

It costs US$7 to buy 1000 points--cheaper when a promo is running. Or rent a car from Alamo or National.
