  About “Free Club Carlson Gold”. The link give confusing info – quote:

  Fast Track to Gold Elite Status
  Receive a complimentary upgrade to Club Carlson Gold Elite Status valid until 28 February 2015, without having to meet any minimum stays or nights requirements.
  AND:
  Enrol in Club Carlson now before 31 May 2014 to benefit from a complementary upgrade to Club Carlson Silver Elite Status until February 28th 2015.

  So, who gets gold and who gets silver?!

    You get gold, confirmed after submitting the form.

      Would any other hotel groups status match it?

      • Rob says:

        19 Apr19 April 10:29

        Possibly. Take a look at statusmatcher.com

      Opened a new account and it seems to be red..?

      • Nick says:

        22 Apr22 April 11:37

        Yeah, my girlfriend did this today too and it is red.

        A pity – I applied a few days ago and got elite. It’s a pity really, she stays in more hotels in that chain than I do.

          so, deal dead?

  • idrive says:

    this is then a reason to cancel the platinum card, together with some other reasons. I will think what my +/- are re insurance, prority pass etc and decide at some point.

    • Andrew says:

      19 Apr19 April 16:40

      Do you keep the gold status after cancelling the card?

      • Alan says:

        19 Apr19 April 16:42

        Yes you keep all partner card status levels for the remainder of the membership year for that scheme. The only exception is Priority Pass, which is deactivated upon cancellation of the linked Amex Plat card.

  When sharing posts on the Avios Suitcase app, don’t forget to set the privacy to ‘Only Me’ – you still get the points, but also don’t clutter your friends’ timelines 🙂

  clubcarlson offer seems pointless if you are taking it up for the 2 for 1 or 4 for 2 offer as checking on most of the hotels I want this is not available until March next year when the gold status expires – con or what!!!

  • Rob says:

    19 Apr19 April 16:51

    Historically availability is OK although you generally need a lot of hotels in a city with the hope that 2-3 may be running it.

  ** 50 bonus points per bottle of Tesco wine in Scotland **

  Confirmed that this works. 50 Clubcard points per bottle. You’re a bit off on your bottle pricing (inflation?). Miniature bottles are £1.89. But 50 points per item also posts for Everyday Value Spanish red, white and rosé wines in tetrapaks for £1.49.

  • Erico1875 says:

    Ive got a 80 bonus point voucher for Tesco Cava. I wonder if they will stack?
    The missus likes the mini bottles too so it might be a productive points weekend 🙂

    • Pat Bucher says:

      19 Apr19 April 14:26

      It will stack.

      • Erico1875 says:

        19 Apr19 April 20:13

        Yes thanks. I had the 80 pts Cava voucher, a 25 pt value brand voucher and a dbl points voucher.
        2 bottles of Cava, 5 mini Savignon Blanc, and 1 mini Spanish white Value carton. £21 spend for 540 CC points and got a £5 off £40 helping hand voucher too.
        So Im going to take the Amex and go mental on Visa gift cards tmorro to get more helping hand vouchers

  • Rob says:

    Those miniature bottles taste like cat urine – the last time I bought one was years ago when Tesco ran a similar promo! Think they were £1.29 or £1.49 then!

    • Kay says:

      20 Apr20 April 18:35

      The £1.49 stuff is simple but very drinkable.

• Stuart says:

  19 Apr19 April 12:09

  Tesco Wine by the case also have 1000 points when you spend £100 but can be stacked with 25% off offer

  • idrive says:

    19 Apr19 April 14:21

    is there any particular code for it? I just tried with a £117 order but no 1000points on the checkout

    • Stuart says:

      19 Apr19 April 15:20

      eCoupon XXH4JC valid for all orders of £100 or more (excluding delivery charge) placed by 23.59 on 1st May 2014. Cannot be used with any other eCoupon beginning with ‘XX’ and can only be used once per customer and once per order. You must be 18 or over to order and receive alcohol.

        Thank you!

      • david cliff says:

        20 Apr20 April 09:58

        Code works perfectly, thank you ! 36 bottled of wine for £107, 1107 Clubcard points which converts to 2656 Avios !!

  • Fenny says:

    20 Apr20 April 20:36

    Oooh, ta. Good thing I didn’t buy £92 of wine on Friday!

• kiusaka says:

  19 Apr19 April 16:37

  so how do you use this offer if you already have a club carlson account?

  • Rob says:

    19 Apr19 April 16:47

    You can’t – you’d need to open a new account and then, perhaps in a month or so, try to get it merged with your existing one.
