Club Carlson have posted this chart on their website which shows that reward stays in many European (especially London) hotels will be getting more expensive from the 1st of June. It so happens I emptied my Club Carlson account with a stay at the Radisson Blu Vaderbilt hotel in London in June. Club Carlson have a generous base earning rate and some good promotions, so they are still one to keep an eye on despite the changes. In fact, if you travel to India regularly you could benefit as many hotels in India have moved down categories. Whilst the low room rates mean you still may not be getting great value for points, it does seem possible to book decent looking hotels in Goa for 9000 points a night- a 7 day beach holiday for the same points as on night in London.
A free holiday like that does sound attractive, but it is not for me. I tend to use points for high end hotels, and cash for longer stays in lower cost hotels- so that I have as many qualifying nights for status as possible.
