Carlson recently changed this. It was an ongoing benefit until this spring, I have done it 4-5 years in a row. This spring members have been rejected or told it is the last time a status match from EB is accepted. Which will probably drive me to look at other hotels since I could only get Silver on stays, and Carlson is often not the best value in Scandinavia/Europe.
