800-333-3333, although I think I was redirected a few times. Make sure that you speak with someone at corporate, and NOT someone at the hotel chain's front desk.

I used +1 (888) 288-8889 and then got transferred to someone in corporate (one hop).

See http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/18902444-post134.html for my advice.

Got it! $66 before tax!

Regarding the BRG, I see a lot of people are getting lower rates than those listed at CC's sites. I've compared CC's rates and they are always the same or lower than those at major sites like Expedia, etc. Anyone knows a site where you are more likely to get a lower rate?

I, my wife and sister all signed up for the this 44k to 50k promo and have stayed and so far received most of our points.

I want to transfer points from 2 of the account to the 3rd account. My wife has Gold status on CC account. My sister & I don't but I am the one who will do the traveling/club carlson hotel stay in future in my name. Should My wife & sister's points should be transferred to my account or we should transfer our points to her account?
I like my wife's gold status but if future CC hotel stay is not in her name, then?

For the transfer, I have to just call and give the CC account name & number of my wife and sister's and that's it for instant transfer?
thanks

Both sites have always been cheaper with every one of my searches.

Kayak has been of great help to me on this. You can execute a search using the hotel name, and Kayak will pull up rates from multiple sites and show it you on a single page.

Hello emptiness
 

You have a PM

Now that the promotion is coming to an end... Anybody try transferring points yet? Care to share your experience?

Very Easy to Transfer
 

Since I do all the travel arrangements I had my husband call and transfer his points into my account. Just call 1-888-288-8889. Tell them you wish to transfer your points to another account and provide both account numbers. No fee, no hassles and effective immediately. I don't know if the points expire or not. I assume they are treated just as if I earned them. They show up on your statement as gifted points.

Looks like I'll just squeeze in on two stays near ORD tonight and tomorrow. No chance for the Park Inn, though -- I'll be in California soon but nowhere near Fresno, and since I'll be out west, a jaunt to Sault Ste. Marie is not possible, either.

Would a one night with 14th check-in qualify for a stay "(...) and July 15th"?

Thinking about doing a mattress run to get a country inn stay before the promo ends. Of course rate just went up from when I checked the other night.

Which option would you choose:

all cash option - room total for 1 night: $93.89

or

cash + points - 5k points plus $75.11

What do you think? Even worth it for a mattress run? I'm already sitting on 250k CC points btw. :D

From the Country Inns & Suites email:

"Simply complete a qualifying one night stay at any Country Inns & Suites By CarlsonSM hotel now through July 15, 2012 and earn enough bonus Gold Points for a FREE night at any Country Inns & Suites location worldwide."

Same for the Radisson email.

So I guess as long as the check-out is done on the 15th, then it should qualify? Would hate to run into some fine print loop hole :-)
