Apologies if this has been noted before, but I could not find it in a search and it's quite important to know about Club Carlson.
From "My Profile" page:
"Important Information: When you select Miles as your earning preference your entire balance of Gold Points and all future Gold Points earned will automatically convert to Miles with the airline you have selected in 10,000 point increments. Miles can not be converted back to Gold Points. All miles with this auto conversion option will be redeemed at an 10:1 ratio."
Emphasis mine.
I have never heard of a rule so harsh in any loyalty program. Be very careful of this one.
Watch out especially if you get an attractive "miles" offer, as they might be trying to convert a lot of people unawares.
