I am a huge fan when it comes to Club Carlson. I have stayed in a few of their hotel chains such as the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel in Sydney, Radisson Blu Resort Fiji Denarau Island to name a few. But all of these luxurious stay would not have happened without their amazing and lucrative credit card perks. The one night free of point redemption for 2 or more consecutive award nights, and the annual 40,000 point renewal bonus for being a card member totally sold me. Hence, I do not mind paying for the annual fee at all. There are three type of Club Carlson credit cards issued by the US Bank:
