Free hotel status – Gold Elite with Club Carlson
Club Carlson is the hotel loyalty programme for Radisson/Radisson Blu, Park Plaza and Park Inn hotels. Currently, if you join it via this link, you will automatically be upgraded to Gold Elite (VIP) status.
Among other things, Club Carlson Gold Elite offers you:
- Complimentary room upgrades as available
- 35% point bonus on every eligible stay
- Early check-ins and late checkouts as available upon request
- Elite Customer Service Line
To reach Gold Elite status, you normally need to spend 35 nights at Carlson hotels in a calendar year. As such, this free hotel status upgrade is quite a shortcut.
If for whatever it doesn’t generate automatically when you click the above link, enter code AMEX14GD in the “Promotional Code” box.
There are of course two Radisson Blu hotels in Malta, so this one may well be of local interest.

the link is not valid
You’re right, not sure why not. Have updated and tested and it should be ok now.
Signed up with the link and have “Red” Status.
It worked for me. The email said I’m gold, but when I look in the account it says Red level.
Actually check that….The email said I earn gold points, but says nothing of a gold level account. Like I said in my previous comment, online it shows me as a red level account.
Tried, didn’t see “Gold” status in my account profile. Is the upgrade instant or does it take time to process?
My upgrade was pretty much instant, but I’ve read reports of it taking a little while for some.
Does it still works?
Unlikely – it was a 2014 offer.
