Preparing for GS12: Club Carlson now complete!

Every once in a while I get lucky.  A few months ago, I caught a promo where Club Carlson offered 9,000 points for renting a car.  They just showed up so, if CC is a partner for next year, I've got one more hit.  Keep an eye out for those car rental promos, they tend to be good ones.

Updates

It's been a busy few weeks preparing for GS12, a promotion that may not even exist next year.  Having said that:

I rented a car this week using a Radisson promotion that would give me 9,000 points.  We'll see if the points actually hit or if I need to fight with them.

FT pointed out a mistake fare for a Wyndham in Mexico city.  Assuming that all goes to plan, which rarely happens, that'll be 6,500 of the 7,000 I need.

I'm up to $42 in e-Rewards and have just gotten a few new surveys.  It's a long way to what I need, but with Club Carlson and Wyndham potentially done for next year, it will help.

And it's over! Part II

Hilton hit.  36 hits achieved, another 20,000 miles to make their way to my US account.  100,000 total.  The insurance hit, which will post Thursday, won't be necessary.  Rats, I could have used that hotel stay to earn my 50,000 Radisson points as discussed here.  Surprisingly, they still haven't gotten 50,000 sign-ups.

I wonder what I'll do with all my free time now.  Start preparing for GS12, perhaps?  I'm already building up the erewards points and really should get to work on emiles, but for now, I'm just going to think about where SQ is going to take me.

Thanks to those of you who have checked out the new blog.  It's been fun to write and I hope that you will continue to follow it.

9,000 Club Carlson points for a 3-day Avis or Budget rental

If you need to rent a car and are going to max out on your car rental hits, Club Carlson is offering 9,000 points for a 3-day rental at either Avis or Budget.  8,000 points is good for one hit.
