Points Expire?
Hi all
I have a lot of CC points in my account. My last activity was Oct 2013, so approaching 2 years/24 months. From my understanding, my points will disappear is nothing happens by this October. What can I do to reset the clock? Buy 1,000 points for $7? Anything else? Thanks! |

Stay a night at a hotel. Exchange 2000 points for 200 airline miles. |
Raffles did a good post on this on his blog a week or so back - When your Club Carlson Points expire, and how to stop it. All you need to know on the extending options are there!

Good day all.
Quite question regarding this. Would transferring points to a family member extend the expiration? TIA |
Wondering if anyone knows whether transfering points to a family member would count as activity and extend the expiry of points?

Transferring points to a relative or friend does not extend the expiry date of your own account nor the points remaining in it. However, the transferred points would immediately become subject to the receiver's own expiry date--without causing it to be extended.
A good way to extend expiry is to rent a car from Alamo or National, esp. with a bonus code which gives 1500 points per day. Not as easy as buying 1000 points for $7 or converting 2000 points to 200 FF miles, but so rewarding! Does anybody know if booking a points res., then cancelling, qualifies as an activity to extend expiry? |

It does not. I tried that recently and unfortunately it didn't extend.

Does using Club Carlson credit card to earn points extend it? Thank you!
|
Yes, Milemission! Points earned by spending on any Carlson Visa are qualifying!

Is that a new restriction? I found out a couple of years ago it worked.
I also just happened to ask this question of a Club Carlson agent this morning and she assured me it did. |

Thanks, I hope there is a way to check our expiration date online like IHG. |

Add two years to the last "Posted Date" on your Statement page to know when CC can choose to void your points. These are the T&Cs: Expiration of Gold Points: If there is no Gold Points activity in your Club Carlson account for any 24-month period, we may, at any time and in our sole discretion and without notice or liability to you, void and cancel any or all of your Gold Points. |
