Club Carlson status matches now available

Club Carlson is not a program we've written about much on this blog. Three posts, to be exact! That said, many of you may be members of the Club Carlson program (covering Radisson, Park Plaza, Park Inn, and Country Inns & Suites hotels). And so you may be interested in Club Carlson's status match to Silver and Gold, that they're currently running. There's even a dedicated landing page for this offer. Read on for more.


Here's all it takes. According to the landing page for the status match offer, 
We know feeling rewarded is important to you, and you deserve special treatment when you're on the road. Club CarlsonSM is proud to offer Elite status match for most hotel loyalty programs. If you have elevated status with another hotel loyalty program, you may be eligible to receive an Elite tier upgrade with Club Carlson. 
Here's what we'll need from you to process this request*:
  • Send us your full name
  • Club Carlson membership number
  • Name of other frequent guest program
  • Membership number and tier level of the other frequent guest program
  • Copy of your membership card from the other frequent guest program (PDF or JPG files only)
Submit by email to statusmatch@carlsonrezidor.com (please include "Status Match" in the subject line) 
Enjoy an exceptional experience with Club Carlson Elite status.

Depending on your current status with another loyalty program, you could be matched to Club Carlson Silver or Gold. I applied for the status match yesterday on the strength of my Hilton HHonors Diamond status, and got a response today that I've been matched to Club Carlson Gold.

Here are the benefits of Club Carlson Silver and Gold levels, to which one could be matched:



In India, Club Carlson has properties in all of these places.



Conclusion

In recent years, I haven't stayed much at Club Carlson properties. My last was nearly 3 years ago at the Radisson Mahabalipuram, near Chennai. Club Carlson Concierge level is probably the most rewarding, but they won't status match to Concierge. That said, having some status is better than no status, so if you ask me, you should give the status match a shot.

    Just wondering if it makes sense to status match when you are not planning on staying there for a while. Wont you be downgraded and thereafter maybe it may be more difficult to get a status match offer.

      Yes, downgrade will happen if you don't meet requalification criteria. But status matches don't happen all the time, so I recommend using it when it is available. Who knows, you may end up having a stay and benefiting! And you could use the matched status to leverage with other programs, when the opportunity arises.

Review: Le Meridien Etoile, Paris

Image
I checked out of the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile yesterday morning, and checked into the Le Meridien Etoile, just around the corner from the Hyatt, in the evening after a day's sightseeing. Hyatt was kind enough to hold my bags for the duration of the day (which is a surprise in today's world of terror threats), and I'm grateful to them for that. The Le Meridien has standard and chic rooms as two of their base category rooms. As I mentioned in the introduction post, I booked a chic room on an award. Here's a review of the hotel and room, but not breakfast (that didn't come with the room, and we planned to head to the airport a little early in any case).

Kolkata's new terminal, and what a relief! (And lots of pictures)

Image
For the longest time, Kolkata (CCU) had pathetic terminals – both for domestic and international flights – and it was high time they did something about it. Now, the Airports Authority of India must be complimented on the new Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport. The airport is really fresh, swanky, and actually makes the flying experience in and out of CCU a whole lot better. The new terminal is an integrated terminal for domestic and international flights, and set out in an wide “V” with unequal arms, the longer arm being the domestic side. The terminal building itself is at one end of the runway, and is to the right of the old terminal, when viewed from the city side (left from airside). This picture, courtesy Wikipedia, shows it quite clearly. I flew in on SG 323 ( trip report here ), and on reaching CCU, we parked at the apron, though sufficient aerobridges appeared available. Cost cutting I suppose. The bus then took us to the terminal building, and this is what greet...

Defunct airlines of India - Part 1

Image
ASan and I met for lunch over the weekend. If you knew us personally, you'd know that we're both forever thirsty, if you get my meaning. You'd also know that there are always discussions around ideas for posts. Most of them are flights of fancy (pun intended!), and almost always unviable. But two men with some alcohol in them can dream, can't they? Anyway, this time the discussion finally got down to something that interests both of us, though in very different ways. ASan is a bit of a history freak, getting dreamy and bleary-eyed when you talk of anything 20 years or older (he thinks he’d have fit better into society a hundred years ago, than now). And I'm an AvGeek to the core and a huge  fan of REG Davies. So when the talk finally came around to Indian airline companies that used to be, we hit paydirt! After some decent and serious research, we think we've come up with our own Indian Aviation History 101. Given the volume there is to share, we’ll be splitting...
