Club Carlson have announced a list of 20 properties that are changing category, the problem is that these changes go into affect on March 1st (tomorrow).
- 13 hotel properties are going up in price (4 are going up two categories, rest are going up one category)
- 7 properties are going down in price (6 are going down by two categories, the other one is going down one category)
Most travel hackers simply stopped caring about Club Carlson when they removed their last free night benefit on the co-branded credit card in 2015. I think this award category change from Club Carlson is incredibly stupid, you’re giving people one days notice (so theoretically people can still book before the change and you lose any potential savings from doing an actual no notice change) but you damage the brand and build no confidence to people going forward in the program that feature no notice changes won’t happen.
