The Gold Points Reward Network partnership with Carlson Hotels’ goldpoints plus ended in Oct. 2007 when goldpoints plus relaunched its loyalty program.

Beginning April 1, 2008, the Gold Points Reward Network program is changing into a redemption-only program. In other words, you can spend the points you have already earned but you will no longer be able to earn points, and eventually, the program will end.

The last day to earn Gold Points at partner locations or by shopping at goldpoints.com is March 31, 2008. Members who are Gold Points Visa credit card holders will earn Gold Points on purchases made with their card through the closing date of their March 2008 statement. They will be contacted by Bank of America with information for converting their account to another point-earning credit card.

Gold Points will not expire and you can continue to redeem points for gift cards and merchandise but if you are interested in a particular item, it would be best to redeem for it soon because quantities may be limited and award offers change. Members also have the option of converting their points via Points.com to another loyalty program.

Members are being directed to join Carlson Hotels’ goldpoints plus program and to look for a T.G.I. Friday’s frequent guest program to be introduced early this year. For details, visit http://insideflyerus.wpengine.com/link/?760
