Club Carlson is offering direct status matches up to the Gold-level in their program. I have previously covered Starwood Preferred Guest, Hilton HHonors, Marriott, and Hyatt Gold Passport status match procedures. If you are Rezidor shareholder, you qualify for Gold status as a shareholder benefit.
Club Carlson matches to their Silver or Gold level only. The highest status with the Club Carlson is Concierge, but this is, at least officially, off-limits when it comes to matches status. Club Carlson matches Hilton, Hyatt, InterContinental Hotels Group/Priority Club, Marriott and Starwood status.
Here’s what you need to do
1. Open a Club Carlson account if you don’t already have one.
2. Take a screenshot from your Hilton, Hyatt, Priority Club, Marriott, or Starwood online account statement that shows your status.
3. Send an email to goldpointsplus@carlson.com and include a copy of the screen shot, your Club Carlson account number, and a few words that you would like to get matched to Gold status with their program.
You should hear back from Club Carlson normally within one business day. I emailed my request during the weekend and heard back from them on Monday.
As you can see from the email I sent, I mistakenly requested a Platinum match. Club Carlson doesn’t have a Platinum status, but only Silver, Gold, or Concierge.
Any idea what the equivalents are for status? I am Platinum w/Intercontinental and Gold w/Starwood and Hilton. Just wondering if it is worthwhile to pursue, if I’d only get e.g. Silver.
You are probably best of by getting a match based on your Priority Club Platinum status. They should match you to Club Carlson Gold status based on that.
Does it matter if my Hilton account shows 0 stays but a Gold status (because I got Hilton Gold not by traditional stay credit but through a credit card promo)?
Not sure. If you do it first next year, the stay would be zero for all.
Good idea. How did I forget about that!
Thanks. Just got Gold Status match to Priority Club Platinum Ambassador. I sent in a screen shot of my status and miles with a request letter and I heard back in one day with a confirmation of the status match. Thanks.
Sounds great. Just as it should work.
Well I managed to get silver status match from my SPG gold , , ,
That sounds reasonable.
Do they match to Accor Plat?
If not, you can always match Accor PLT to Priority Club one and then match that for CC Gold.
