Worth every penny!
Just a quick note now that all of my points have posted on the Club Carlson promotions.
Total $ Spent: $387.65
Total points earned: 150,627
Cost per point earned: .25 cents per point
Compare to Cost to purchase points is .7 cents per point
Value if points were purchased: $1054.39
All in all, I’m very happy with the results of this promo. In addition to the points value, I got two great nights in Paris for $109 a night and had an adventure with the kids in Hershey/Amish Country.
A question I’m often asked is “how do you decide which deals to do?” Many bloggers have different answers to this question, but I’ll share mine. Before I decide to go with any promotion I ask myself this question: “Will I have fun?”
For instance, before trekking with the kids to make pretzels and visit Hershey’s Chocolate World, I asked myself “will this trip be fun?” If the answer was no, I wouldn’t have done it, points or no points.
Other bloggers are perfectly willing to check in and check out of a hotel just to earn the points, and if I were the Deal Chick instead of the Deal Mommy I might be so inclined. However, with both time and funds limited, I pick and choose using the above rule. Having fun doesn’t usually steer me wrong!
