Double points or nights
The end of the promo I kinda like - you can choose either double points or double nights for the stays rest of this year. Handy if you don't (or do) have enough stays for next year.

The decision is yours to make. From November 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, you can earn either Double Gold Points® on all Eligible Stays, or Double Elite Qualifying Nights on each Eligible Night.
Double Points will help you get one step closer to your next free Award Night, and Double Elite Qualifying Nights will get you closer to maintaining or achieving Elite status through 2017. Whichever choice you make, you'll get to your goal twice as fast.
Which offer will you choose?

It says "each Eligible Night", since points and points + cash are elite qualifying, they most certainly count, that is my experience with previous promotions ever since points and p+c nights started to qualify.

Thanks so much murilix, thats the clear message on this page: "Elite Status Faster
Earn Elite status faster - Points + Cash nights and Award Nights count toward Elite Status." https://www.clubcarlson.com/fgp/memb...memberbenefits
But in the Terms & Conditions of the promotion they are sayin: "Stays or nights paid for by redeeming Gold Points are not eligible for this Promotion." https://www.clubcarlson.com/secure/o...red:yourchoice
That's why I am worried. Probably I have to try by myself.

I have had three nights paid for points and cash *not* credit for double points following a stay last week at the Bangkok Radisson Blu Plaza. I will chase up with CC after a second stay there this week also on points and cash.

LiveFromALounge Registration for Club Carlson Promo
Not exactly sure where to post this. But the promotion advertised by this blogger includes a Register Link to an obscure website: "MyFBT news portal"
That looks fishy to me. Comments?

I signed up for double elite nights. I didn't do purposeful MRs and didn't renew Concierge status by the end of year 2016.
Interesting side effect is that double nights are eligible for rollover. I've got 29 elite nights on January 6, 2017. That means that just 6 more nights will give me Gold status for 2018. I even checked if that's right with the member service and they confirmed that's correct.
I had some fun with concierge status but it doesn't feel like top elite. Status is totally useless in US, not much in EU. Almost no suite upgrades, not every hotel gave amenity, internet speed is the same for everyone and slowish, no lounges. Breakfasts are good but only given to 1 room. Our family need 2 rooms to fit us all. Most central Europe properties refused to give more than 2 persons free brekafast. That is fair and according to rules but doesn't contribute to the love of top status.
The best perk for me is 241 and 442. That has limited availability these days but will still available as gold member. I will certainly use it for my family's leisure trips.
