Bored as usual, I scanned my AwardWallet balance to see what was new. My Club Carlson went up by 7500 points. I logged in and found the following:
The bonus has only shown up so far in one of my accounts, either the personal or business. While it doesn’t do much in restoring the free night benefit that was shamelessly taken away, who is going to refuse free points? Others have written about filing a claim with the BBB to get the annual fee refunded but I have yet to try that. Maybe I’ll call to complain for more points since my new balance is 26k which is basically useless.
seriously for doing nothing?
Maybe i should call my 25k bonus and annual fee refund DOING NOTHING?
I don’t get what you’re saying. Anyhow, this is what a fellow blogger really got for doing nothing: http://pointmetotheplane.boardingarea.com/2015/08/14/us-bank-club-carlson-credit-card-holders-check-your-mailbox/
This is the bonus given to all the affiliated card holders in lieu of losing the extra night on redemptions. Got two of these one for each credit card back before the devaluation (around May or June) when I called to complain about the change.
Yeah I called to complain about the change and refused the 7500 because if you accept it then you can’t file a claim with the BBB and get your annual fee refunded. So this was a unilateral move by US Bank.
Anyhow did you see this? http://pointmetotheplane.boardingarea.com/2015/08/14/us-bank-club-carlson-credit-card-holders-check-your-mailbox/
As soon as I wrote my post, I saw this on Twitter.
I called and rejected the 7500 in May because accepting it means you can’t file a claim with the BBB to get your annual fee refunded and perhaps 25k.
Did you see this which was posted today? http://pointmetotheplane.boardingarea.com/2015/08/14/us-bank-club-carlson-credit-card-holders-check-your-mailbox/
BBB does not regulate interstate banking.
I did not see the article but got 2 Club Carlson E-Cert letters today by mail.
Lol bbb doesn’t do anything but I thought it was worth a shot.
Where are my letters!
