MEMBER OBLIGATIONS You agree to provide accurate information to us at all times and to promptly notify us of any change in address - mail or e-mail - by updating personal information at clubcarlson.com. This includes notifying us if your Club Carlson card is lost or stolen. 4. EARNING POINTS Program members may collect 20 Points per U.S. Dollar for eligible, paid stays including food and beverage purchases charged to their room (excluding tax and other charges) at:
Ineligible Room Rates and other exclusions include: employee rates, family and friend rates, airline crew rates, travel agent rates, hotel employee rates, room rates that are billed on a master bill, tour operator rates, wholesaler rates, or rates booked through online travel companies or other third parties, including but not limited to, Booking.com, Hotwire, Hotels.com, Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline, Travelocity, etc., as well as rooms booked through any other third parties online that require pre-payment. Complimentary rooms, including but not limited to rooms booked as Award Night stays, or stays involving other gift certificate or free night vouchers are also excluded. Stays at Hotel Missoni and Regent Hotels & Resorts are ineligible for the Program and you cannot earn Points for these stays. If a hotel leaves the Carlson Hotels system or ceases to be a participating hotel, after you make a reservation but before your stay, you will not earn Points for that stay and any special offers will no longer be valid after the date the hotel leaves the system or terminates participation, even if your reservation was made prior to that date. Points are considered earned on eligible room rates once the stay has been completed, fully paid and added to member’s account. Points will not be available for redemption before the stay has been completed and paid and the Points have been added to member’s account. In addition to earning Points on eligible room rates, you may be able to earn Points for additional qualified spending at select hotels or through other Program offers. Only one person per stay may receive Points and Points will be credited to the individual whose name appears on the reservation. You may earn Points on up to three rooms booked under the same reservation, but credit for multiple rooms must be requested at or before the time of check-in. You may not earn both Points and Program Partner airline frequent flyer miles/credits for stays at a participating hotel. Points can only be earned in one program, and by providing a Club Carlson Card at check-in, you are selecting to earn Points in the Program for the stay. For all "stay" related promotions and any references in Program Rules, a hotel "stay" means all consecutive nights spent at a participating qualifying hotel regardless of the number of check-in or check-outs that occur during that stay at a rate eligible to earn Points. If your stay is settled in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, then that currency will be converted to U.S. Dollars at the daily conversion rate provided by US Bank as of the last day of each eligible stay, and you will be awarded points based on the amount of converted U.S. Dollars. Other earning opportunities: From time to time, you may also have the opportunity to earn Points from companies affiliated with the Program, such as car rental companies, credit card companies or other financial institutions, or service companies. These opportunities may vary based on the member’s country of residence, may not available to all members, are subject to change at any time in Carlson Hotels’ sole discretion, are governed by these Program Rules, and may be subject to additional terms and conditions as required by the affiliated company. U.S. Members may earn additional Points on eligible charges, as well as receive other benefits, when using Club Carlson branded credit cards.

However, you are responsible for making sure that any Points are properly credited.

Except where required by law, Points have no cash value and do not constitute property.
