The Offer
- Now through December 31, 2017 members will earn 3,000 bonus points for completing their first transaction with any of our Extras Partners, including iTunes, eBay, Groupon and more!
The Fine Print
- The “3,000 Points Bonus” offer (“Offer”) is valid from October 23, 2017 through December 31, 2017 (“Promotion Period’). During the Promotion Period, Club Carlson members may earn 3,000 bonus points (“Promotion Bonus”) for the first transaction consumed with any of the participating merchant partners. Members may receive the Promotion Bonus only once during the Promotion Period. The Promotion Bonus will be added to the member’s account by no later than February 1, 2018.
Our Verdict
Shouldn’t be too hard to just buy a super cheap item on eBay with no shipping fees. Other option is to just purchase an iTunes song.

Just contacted Club Carlson support about my missing 3000 bonus points, they said it can take up to Feb 1st, 2018 before the points are awarded.
I’ll contact them again then and update here… grr indeed
4 points for an iTunes purchase on 10/24/17 posted on 10/28/17. 3000 point bonus no where to be found
Called them, they said points deposited within 30 days of purchase. DOC post says by Feb. 1st, though. We shall see.
3000 bonus points posted on 11/29
Still nothing here. No partner purchase points, no bonus. Grr.
Downloaded Club Carlson app onto my (Android) phone, opened it, logged into account. Clicked on “Extras” at top of landing page. Saw offer and the several partner options. Chose Ebay. Ebay opened up even though I don’t have the Ebay app installed. Logged into my account there. Ordered a .99 3-port USB charger, shipping included, and paid by Paypal after logging into my account there. Very easy. Maybe too easy… hope it works! 3k points will put me over a threshold to use my leftover points on a booking.
For those planning to do this with iTunes, search “.69 cent songs” – I’ll take 3k points for 69 cents, thanks!
The 69 cents iTunes purchase did the trick! Thanks for the suggestion.
While downloading the app I was sent an email from UA with a Club Carlson promo of “up to 5K miles” (seems like 2500/stay). Not certain if you can stack this with the 3K Club Carlson app promo.
Cool, picked up a Star Wars diecast for my son for Christmas.
if you didn’t see some option, close the app and log in again. I didn’t see ebay option but itune for the first time, then i installed ebay app ( i think this is a must to have it work) and then log in again. I saw the option then. Besides, I see other new options as well so I assume it is not the ebay app install but the re-open of club carlson app made it work.
I tried eBay but I couldn’t find any button that can let me checkout. Stuck at the final step…
I was able to checkout on the app. Is your eBay app the latest?
Same here. I tried playing around with it a little and then at some point I was able to click on the feedback button hidden at the very bottom and then when I went back I could barely make out the top of the blue checkout button and was able to check out finally…
Had the same problem. Scroll all the way down at the checkout page and wait around 10 to 20 sec. after that button to check out appears (worked couple of times for me already).
I started using delivery.com thru this app a couple months ago when I stumbled across it. Any idea if I use it now if I’ll get the bonus, or would I have to use one of the other businesses (like ebay).
@dave: not sure why, but all the biz’s that list on this app are always there. Maybe they have a daily limit for use or something.
sorry, “are NOT always…”
Reminder: you must go through the club carlson app to get the 3000 point bonus
Charles-no special link. Per an email that went out a couple of weeks ago. Link brings you to a regular web page with no mention of offer.
