Club CarlsonSM has been ranked in the top five Best Hotel Rewards Programs in the U.S. News & World Report annual survey that was just released. Rankings are based on an analysis of expert and user opinions about 16 loyalty programs associated with major hotel brands in the U.S. For a loyalty program to appear on the list, it must allow potential members to join without any prerequisites and the ability to earn rewards and privileges each time they stay at a participating property. The following components were used to calculate the rankings: Number of Hotels in Network; Brand Diversity (distinct brands within the portfolio); Geographic Coverage (number of participating hotels across the U.S.); Ease of Earning Free Nights; and Additional Benefits.
A full description of the survey's methodology can be found here.
